Then he tweeted some lies about not insulting McCain and not complaining he didn't get a "thank you" after McCain's funeral. (Despite these being two of the more famous lies among Trump's ever-growing list of 22,000+ lies as president, he's insisting he never said them.)Trump again tonight in comments to the pool: My way of dealing with vets is “much more successful” than John McCain’s, “with Choice and Accountability and all the things I've got.”

So...if you think today's extraordinary @TheAtlantic story about Trump marks his greatest debasement of his office or the greatest insult he has paid to those who sacrificed their lives for this country, then you have forgotten...
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 4, 2020
...that he is a traitor, that he gained his office by betraying the country to an enemy, an enemy our military had been dedicated to contained for three quarters of a century, that he attacked our most important alliance and our allies...
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 4, 2020
...that he has worked to systematically undermine the international order that was the masterwork of the greatest generation in the wake of their extraordinary service in two world wars, that he gutted and walked away from vital international agreements...
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 4, 2020
...that he defended foreign enemies that attacked us and broke our laws to protect them, that he has embraced the enemies of our friends and made them stronger, that he rewarded war criminals and punished true military heroes...
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 4, 2020
...that he denigrated prisoners of war and others who devoted their life to military service, that he demeaned his office and attacked the Constitution that all of our troops are sworn to defend, that he betrayed allies like the Kurds...
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 4, 2020
and that through his corruption he sought to personally profit from the sacrifices of all real public servants. The list is much longer than this. But Trump has been this country's greatest enemy since he set his sights on our highest office and today's revelations...
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 4, 2020
...only confirm what we already know of him. He is a man without character, without decency, without humanity, without courage, without vision, and without any hope of redemption. Be shocked by what you read today...
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) September 4, 2020
***...but acknowledge that the greater shock is the degree to which his unfathomable and repugnant behavior is so typical for him, so expected, and so likely to be repeated again and again for every day he remains in office.
