Trump's remarks were self-serving and without regard to the truth. He lied about what others before him have done in order to make himself look better. That is not a demonstration of support for our armed forces. It is a hollow and cynical attempt to use the sacrifices of others for his own self-aggrandizement. This is not to say that he doesn't appreciate the efforts of service members and their families, but he is trying to appropriate those efforts for his own personal gain. That is why his actions are despicable and deserve our contempt.
