Remember when Trump blamed military and law enforcement for Hope Hicks getting COVID? It never made sense why she, and now him, would blame military personnel for giving it to them. Well...did you know there was a Gold Star Mother's Day event at the White House on Sunday?
What he said on Thursday “It’s very, very hard when you are with people from the military or law enforcement, and they come over to you, and they want to hug you, and they want to kiss you, because we really have done a good job for them. And you get close and things happen"
Now we know. Look at these photos from the event Tweeted out by the First Lady. No masks. No social distancing. They were all hanging out like normal the day after the super spreader event for Amy Coney Barrett. 
Enjoyed speaking with @ReidForgrave for this piece about the “losers” and “suckers” comments by Donald Trump—

Fred Wellman, a lifelong Republican who served three tours in Iraq, is now the senior adviser for veterans affairs for the Lincoln Project. The political action committee connects former and current Republicans to defeat Trump in 2020.
Wellman’s phone has been blowing up since the Atlantic report: “It cuts to the very core of who we are as military members,” he said. “We revere our dead.” He knows the base won’t shift. But he aims to move only 1 to 4% of Republican or independent voters away from Trump.
Trump is not playing 3D chess! Everyone's really missing the boat on his attack on the military yesterday. He didn't suddenly decide to attack the 'military-industrial' complex. This is about the Military Times poll last week showing officers have an unfavorable view of him. (1)
In that poll more than 59% of officers said they have an unfavorable view of Trump, with more than half saying they strongly disapprove. Among enlisted respondents, 47% said they have an unfavorable view, and nearly 39% a favorable view. Get it? He sees a split and piles on. (2)
Here's what he actually said. Look at this quote with that number above in mind: “I'm not saying the military's in love with me – the soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that...." (3)
