Exactly. Those who are feigning outrage over this (because of partisan politics) are unwittingly showing they are speciesist.
I don't see anything wrong with acknowledging a dog as a hero.
(and I'm not even a Trump supporter)
not a thing wrong with that .
photoshop pics of Trump doing it fits right in with the time magazine cover he created making himself MAN OF THE YEAR
theres plenty wrong with that if you dont like dishonest sob's ...
I didn't see that one. But I'm fairly certain that like this one, he didn't try to pass it off as real, it was tongue in cheek. (but I didn't see that other tweet you're talking about, so I'm just guessing)
There are plenty of things to criticize him on, this isn't one of them.
TRIED AND DID -
I wanted to see the tweet to see the context. But my point is, I highly doubt he would try to pass something off as real that can and would easily be refuted. In other words, I'm guessing he was not trying to say it's real, but what he thinks it should have been. And if that's the case, he's guilty of being prideful, not dishonest. (in that particular instance)
If Trump was thinking that he should award the dog some kind of medal, then why in the hell didn't he have his people do a small amount of research to see what the highest possible award they could give was? He's got a staff, right? Doesn't he know how to delegate responsibility? If not, then he's a shitty leader.
Hell, when this thing first came up, I already knew that the CMH couldn't be awarded to an animal, as I was a Personnelman in the Navy, and knowing stuff like that was part of my job, so, I did around 5 min. worth of research and found out what awards COULD be awarded. One is the K9 Medal of Courage (military's actual highest honor for K9 soldiers), or he could have been given the Dickin Medal (awarded to animals for bravery since WWII).
