Trump blowharded about the election in front of 40,000 Boy Scouts
Trump gave a fairly long speech this afternoon in front of the nation's assembled Boy Scouts, who are attending their Jamboree , held once every four years, this time in West Virginia. The crowd of boys and their scout leaders and families was estimated at 40,000.
Trump's written speech seemed fairly conventional, as he talked about how the young people should follow their passion, always do their best, and be patriotic.
The problem was not the written portion of the speech, but the many times Trump went off script in what was essentially a speech intended for children and teenagers.
Trump goaded the boys to boo President Obama "Did President Obama ever attend your jamboree?" he shouted, and the crowd began to jeer. Trump also, attacked Hillary Clinton, ranted about fake news, said he would fire his HHS Secretary if Obamacare repeal fails, and got this group of young people to cheer when he said Obamacare would be repealed. One wonders how many Boy Scouts have the foggiest understanding of health insurance.
Trump blowharded about the election, going on at some length about how he surprised everyone and won an unprecedented victory, going into some detail about this or that aspect of the election.
This man's ability to nauseate decent people knows no bounds.

The crowd attending President Trump’s Monday evening speech to the Boy Scouts of America’s National Jamboree appeared to boo former President Barack Obama at one point.
“By the way, just a question. Did President Obama ever come to a jamboree?” Trump asked the crowd, which booed in response.
“The answer is no, but we’ll be back,” Trump added.
While Obama never addressed the gathering in person, he did record a video message to the National Jamboree in 2010, noting the history of the Boy Scouts and the organization’s service to the United States as it marked its 100 th anniversary.
President Trump Brags About His Election Victory During Boy Scout Jamboree Speech
President Donald Trump spoke Monday night at the 2017 Boy Scout Jamboree, where he bragged about his victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign and bashed the media.
"Who the hell wants to talk about politics when I'm in front of the Boy Scouts?" Trump asked the crowd sarcastically at the beginning of his speech. But that's exactly what he did, reliving Election Night 2016, or as he called it, "that famous night on television."
"You remember that incredible night with the maps," Trump said, noting that the maps were "so red" that the pundits who had expected a Clinton victory were speechless.
He continued to recount his electoral college victories, explaining he decided to visit Maine, a state that splits its electoral votes, in an effort to pick one up because he thought it would help him win.
"But then Wisconsin came in," he said of election night. "Many many years. Michigan came in. And we worked hard there. You know, my opponent didn't work hard there. She [Clinton] was told she was gonna win Michigan and I said, wait a minute the car industry is going to move to Mexico."
"We'd go to Wisconsin, and we had these massive crowds," Trump continued. "What we did in all fairness is an unbelievable tribute to you and all the millions and millions that came out to Make America Great Again."
While he offered platitudes and words of encouragement to the scouts in attendance, the speech felt more like a campaign rally than an address to a children's organization.
"Under the Trump administration, you'll be saying Merry Christmas again when you go shopping," Trump said.

The Boy Scouts are ashamed tonight, one might assume.
If they're not, they damned sure should be.
Next up, a name change from The Boy Scouts to The Trump Youth.
Changing the Headline(s) is a COC violation, isn't it?
I didn't change any headline, I made a headline for my article.
Spike, if you can't criticize Trump for this outrage of injecting his self serving politics into a Boy Scout jamboree (and he did it repeatedly) , you are truly a lost cause.
Actually watching the video, John, he was having a good time and so were the attendees, leave to you and your ilk to inject all sorts of innuendo into the situation.......again, as you do with your underwear, throwing stuff against the wall in hopes of seeing something stick.
Actually watching the video, John, he was having a good time
He always does when he constantly talks about himself.
These are 11- to 18 year old boys he was talking to. One of the more disgraceful performances by a president who has dozens of them to his discredit.
leave to you and your ilk to inject all sorts of innuendo into the situation.......
Many TV commentators have commented that previous Presidents Boy Scout speeches have always avoided politics. Trump, spoke of almost nothing but politics, his election victory and how great he is.
CNN Editor at Large, Chris Cillizza, posted an article " The 29 most cringe-worthy lines from Donald Trump's hyper-political speech to the Boy Scouts ". (You should read it)
After saying " 'Who the hell wants to speak about politics when I'm in front of the Boy Scouts?' Right? ", he spoke about politics.
He discouraged those young people from wanting to serve in public office by saying, " Today, I said we ought to change it from the word 'swamp' to the word 'cesspool' or, perhaps, to the word 'sewer .'"
He also, thanked his crowd for voting for him. Most of them weren't even 18 in 2016.
The left has some nerve calling the Boy Scouts 'Nazis'
What is it with the chutzpah of the left? The left has given us socialism, National Socialism (Nazis), Bolsheviks, communism, and Obama. These are all things that are left-wing. Those were their ideas. Now they're hollering that the Boy Scouts are Nazis, just because President Trump addressed them, and like any crowd, they cheered. It takes some nerve to call the Boy Scouts Nazis.
The Associated Press acts as though this is the first time a politician has brought up politics at a rally such as those the Boy Scouts put on. But think of Obama's speeches.
The title of the article is "Trump shows the Boy Scouts how to start a political fire."
Here is a quote in the third paragraph that shows the tone of the whole article. Bringing up Nazis by an Obama official shows the tone of the whole article. I am sure there are no positive tweets out there. I saw the boys cheering.
Presumably, this leftist is thinking of the Hitler Youth, which was Hitler's ersatz ape of the Boy Scouts, an organization founded on Judeo-Christian principles in 1910. Hitler didn't believe in Judeo-Christian principles, to say the least. But he had his Hitler Youth and its imitators, all right. The Boy Scouts were not one of them because they were there first.
One of the Hitler Youth's imitators seems to have been the robotic children who were forced to sing, lockstep, Obama's praise. The left thought that was fine and dandy. But not the Boy Scouts, who had nothing to do with Hitler, and whose scouts, as adults, heroically fought Hitler.
That's some nerve.

No bias there.s/
again, as you do with your underwear, throwing stuff against the wall in hopes of seeing something stick.
Funny. The last time I heard that comment about underwear was about 46 or 47 years ago. In the Boy Scouts, from a younger more childish Scout.
Is there enough 💩 In yours to make them stick to a wall?

Nice Corny, leave it to you to take the image of NewsTalkers down a couple of notches.
If you don't agree, just leave your underwear in the drawer and post your argument.
Nice Corny, leave it to you to take the image of NewsTalkers down a couple of notches.
He is fishing for comments desperately and if it takes making NT look worse to those moving over from NV, then he will sink that far down. My advice? Ignore his opinions as worthless as they are.
My advice? Ignore his opinions as worthless as they are.
Good advice, but it has little effect for new, or potentially new members. What effect it does have does not do the site any good.
Well, Randy, glad to see you've decided to become an adult after all tis time. The visual works as an example of the childishness I see here and in much of the media these days. You make the case for the use of the example.
I have been an adult all along...but thank you.
Yep.
There was no headline changed. Your reading abilities seem to have petrified.
Do you consider it to be inflammatory? 6. Please keep the names of articles and seeds accurate and non-inflammatory.
I consider it to be a descriptor of his personality and character. It is an opinion.
The title needs to be changed. Please do so.
There is an original article of 220 words at the top of the OP which is an opinion piece
Trump blowharded about the election, going on at some length about how he surprised everyone and won an unprecedented victory, going into some detail about this or that aspect of the election.
This man's ability to nauseate decent people knows no bounds.
The headline is in line with the opinion in the OP article.
Still waiting to see you comply with the coc and change it as Perrie directed.
Comment removed for skirting the CoC.
Unlike you, I always do. Congrats on all the hits your click bait title got your seed.
Do you think it is at all appropriate for a sitting president to goad children into booing a former US president?
Yep.
I haven't been around for while Kov, but I see you seem to be still talking to yourself.
I'm sorry you don't understand threading. I guess age takes its toll.
I'm sorry you don't understand threading. I guess age takes its toll.
Oh, I understand threading, but I just wanted to note that you still seem seem to be talking to yourself.
As for my age; in the first place, referring to the age of an elder member in a negative manner is a CoC violation. But, it's ok, you can keep up with the cheap digs, it helps highlight your character.
Changing the Headline(s) is a COC violation, isn't it?
Altering or changing a headline when seeding an article is not a CoC unless the revised headline is misleading or false. Sometimes the original headline does not properly describe the article content, or in some cases is too long.
A seeded article must always provide a link to the original article where the headline cannot be changed, so the actual seeded headline will always be presented.
If I seed an article but provide the source medium, the author and the date of publication - always providing the original title, is it not sufficient? To comply with the CoC must I also provide a link to the original article? I didn't think so.
Can't anyone answer my question?
Can't anyone answer my question?
I can't answer you if I'm not on line.
I just looked at the CoC, and you may be right, it does not require posting a citation, it just says; " Posting content that potentially infringes any patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary right(s) of any person or entity is prohibited. Copyright infringement is illegal . "
However, in my opinion, and in the opinion the MLA , it is always safe to post a citation to your sources;
"To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to other researchers and acknowledging their ideas. To avoid plagiarism by quoting words and ideas used by other authors. To allow your reader to track down the sources you used by citing them accurately in your paper by way of footnotes, a bibliography or reference list."
Again, they do not say it is a requirement to actually post your sources, however, like them, I like to play it safe by posting links to my sources. It helps verify my arguments and avoids unnecessary disagreements to my positions.
Sometimes I make new headlines for SEEDED articles to make the headline reflect something that interests me. The headlines that many websites use are boring imo.
Most often I will take a sentence from the seeded article and use that.
On original articles , like this one, I think there should be very few restrictions on what the headline can be.
Trump is right! 👍👌well said Mr. President.
Heil Trump! HEIL TRUMP!! HEIL TRUMP!!!
I see the Trump derangement is progressing swiftly. He's clearly worse than Hitler by now.

Interesting observation. Especially from a guy that usually supports the right wing.

Trumps is so bad he's got Jerry Verlinger and Cerenkov in agreement on an issue.
We should keep in mind that Germany was a democracy and Hitler was voted into office when he started his career.
"Heil Trump! HEIL TRUMP!! HEIL TRUMP!!!"
Let me know when Trump orders his brownshirts to carry out a krystallnacht. /s
Let me know when Trump orders his brownshirts to carry out a kristallnacht. /s
That comment my not be as sarcastic as you think.
I don't see anything funny or sarcastic about it. One step closer. Listen for the sound of breaking glass and the fire trucks driving ever so slowly toward the burning Reichstag. And no, there is no joke or sarcasm in that comment at all.
It's my comment, and I consider it to be sarcastic and not at all an expectation - in fact it IS a shot at the imposition of Naziism and Hitler references on YOUR (I don't give a damn if you deny it) POTUS and YOUR Boy Scouts. What you see through YOUR eyes is not the same as what I see through MY eyes, and I'm in a much better position to be unbiased and neutral about it.
CAVEAT for the benefit of certain members who think I support Trump. I neither support nor oppose Trump. I am one of the few people on this site who can honestly AND CORRECTLY say he is NOT MY President.
I'm in a much better position to be unbiased and neutral about it.
IYHO
When it comes to that, your judgment is biased, but so be it.
Donald Trump is probably the most despicable non-violent person in America today.
As we used to say back home; "He's lower then sewer pond scum!"
That's pretty damn low!
It is. Back outside of my home town of 600 people, before they installed a good sewer system, there used to be to really large sewer ponds about 1/2 mile South of town (this was before Nixon created the EPA) for 2 years and on a hot summer night when the wind was coming from the South, instead of the West as it usually did, it was not fun. So instead of just saying someone was lower then pond scum, we added sewer to it.
Trump is right! 👍👌well said Mr. President.
Please Corny, you can't be that blind. He's a Republican, you're a Republican. But that doesn't mean you are obligated to support his asinine agenda.
What do you mean by "well said", he didn't say anything, mostly because he really has nothing to say.
Every speech he makes is nothing more than a recap of how the votes came in, causing America to suffer world wide embarrassment for electing such an empty, meaningless loudmouth to occupy the oval office.
I support his policies more than I support him.
I support his policies more than I support him.
What policies?
Support me or you get fired?
If you support his policies, then you support him. The two can not be separated to convenience you..
Many of his policies are that that any other GOP nominee who became President would have done. It would be stupid of me to now oppose policies I've always supported now just because Trump is the one trying to implement them. I'm certainly not going to collude with the Trump haters here or anywhere else.
And how are his polices working? Oh right, the're not. Do the smart thing and impeach Trump. The GOP would get a lot more done with Pence then with the asshole Putin put into the Oval Office.
Still giving yourself thumbs up I see.
I've read biography articles or books on just about every U.S. president. Trump has the lowest character and ethical sense of any of the 45. He's lucky he came along in this social media era where people are predisposed to be interested in charlatan nonsense and celebrity worship.
Trump has the lowest character and ethical sense of any of the 45.
Kind of falls into the category of understatements.
There have been a number of presidents that history has not looked upon with favor, but in those cases the problem has been regarding policies and issues.
John Tyler , like Trump, also believed the President should be the one spearheading policy decisions, leading to him clashing with several prominent legislators after vetoing several of is own parties bills. (they say, if we don't pay attention to history, it will repeat itself)
After Tyler left office, he actually was elected to the confederate House of Representatives. (how did that work out?)
As John says, Trumps problems is his lack of character and ethics. He lies any time he thinks it will further his goals, and he doesn't even care who or what issue or will hurt ....... because he doesn't care.
I wonder what the parents of these boy scouts thought about some parts of Donald's speech. Who would prompt kids to disrespect past Presidents? I just don't know what to say about this. I find it disturbing.
Many of Trumps followers like to reference the founding fathers, even if they don't know the slightest thing about them. Does Trump think Washington or Jefferson or Franklin would approve of his blowhard lies and demagogic rants?
It's a sad time for this country.
If I had known in advance, I would not have allowed my son to attend.
Not the first time the boys scouts booed Obama. Smart kids.
You and Trump deserve each other.
One from CNN.
They booed because he didn't come in person and you find a way to connect that to what Trump did? Your inference is absolutely ignorant of the difference between the two. You should think before you post such things as that. Try it sometime. The attempted connection is a stupid and absurd inference.
That's CNN's spin. No doubt someone tripped Trump off about the previous booing and he was just having a little fun with the kids. They loved it.
Trump is a very sick man Dean, and you make light of it.
Trump is a very sick man
He is and his followers are getting sicker by the day also. And it's not because of the ACA, which is something else he bitched about there.
None of his speech was about the Boy Scouts. All he did was what he usually does at any Trump rally for adults, talk about the election, call the media "Fake News", say the polls are all fake and to talk about the phony "War on Christmas." It sure would have been nice if he talked to them as Boy Scouts and not The Trump Youth. It was disgusting and shameful.
Trump's theme , which was written out for him on the teleprompter, was to talk to the kids about "success" and how they could achieve success in life (like he has).
But he went off the teleprompter numerous times and for three or four minutes at a time. It was a disgraceful speech to give to children.
Hell I'm surprised he didn't have them wave Russian flags...
Obama would've had them waving red soviet or Chinese flags.
Chinese flags? Really? The Trump empire has all its garbage made in China, while he lies to the American worker about their future. You say some of the stupidest shit I've ever seen.
Obama would've had them waving red soviet or Chinese flags.
XX, why didnt Trump stick to his telepropmpter?
Why does he have to aggrandize himself? Doesn't he know Jesus said "Blessed are the meek" ?
Why did he encourage children to disrespect a former president of the United States?
He had a decent speech on the teleprompter. But half the time he disregarded it. He's a sick man XX, and I know that even you understand that.
Obama would've had them waving red soviet or Chinese flags.
Why?
I'm waiting for XX to answer my questions. He has time to fool around on this thread but no time to answer my questions.
Sad.
Even if he does answer it'll be his usual obfuscation and distraction and never answering the questions directly.
Pitiful.
Here Randy I'm going to connect the dots for you the two are directly related.
He got them to boo several times by taking shots at the media and fake news and Hillary, not just about Obama not coming to the Jamboree.
How are you not embarrassed by Tweeter D/Tweeter Dumb ??
Maybe you just don't give a rat's ass ??
Maybe you just don't give a rat's ass ??
Maybe?
Ditto...
Not the first time the boys scouts booed Obama. Smart kids.
Trump, after saying, 'Who the hell wants to speak about politics when I'm in front of the Boy Scouts?', then, being the underhand prick that he is, Trump goaded those kids into a very political booing of Obama.
What really bothers me is the automatic tendency of Right Wingers, like Dean, to quickly try to turn around the pointer by saying, "the left wing has done the same thing". Yeah, the left sometimes does the same thing, but you guys do it without thinking.
If your side has done something that is wrong, blaming the other side for doing something similar does not make it right. Trump is wrong here and anything happened during the last jamboree does not change that.
Trump made a very poor, negative, "disrespect your government" speech to those kids, and Obama 'this' and Hillary 'that', does not correct or justify Donald Trump making a very Un-American negative speech to those kids.
So, make what you want of it Dean, but Trump was wrong in what he said because Trump is an asshole, and after living under 11 previous presidents, Trump is the first President I have called anything like that.

Boy Scouts Chant ‘We Love Trump’ During President’s Speech at Jamboree
by CHARLIE SPIERING24 Jul 201737
President Donald Trump delivered a rousing speech at the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, celebrating their contributions to their country.
“You are the young people of character and integrity who will serve as leaders of our communities and uphold the sacred values of our nation,” Trump said.
The scouts chanted “We Love Trump” and “U-S-A” as Trump spoke to the energetic crowd.
He noted approvingly that ten members of his cabinet were Boy Scouts, including HHS Secretary Tom Price, Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke, and Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, who attended the event with the president.
Trump spoke freely about the challenges he faced in his presidency, including the fight to repeal or replace Obamacare.
After recognizing Price, Trump lightly joked that he would fire him if he failed to get the votes.

“It’s time,” he said. “After seven years of saying repeal and replace Obamacare, we have a chance to now do it.”
Trump’s frustration with Washington D.C. was palpable after his short trip aboard Air Force One.
“You know, I go to Washington and I see all these politicians. and I see the swamp, and it’s not a good place,” he said. “In fact, today I said we ought to change it from the word ‘swamp’ to the word cesspool or perhaps the word sewer, but it’s not good,” he said.
The president returned to familiar themes such as his election victory and the early successes of his administration, pointing to rising job numbers and stock market values.
Some in the crowd even booed his vanquished presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, when he spoke about winning states like Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Trump appeared amazed by the energetic response of the boys in the crowd, accusing the fake news media of refusing to show the crowd-size.
“The fake media will say, ‘President Trump spoke before a small crowd of Boy Scouts today,'” he laughed.

Randy, it doesn't bother me. I post articles as comments myself on occasion.
No problem then John. It's your article.
Forget the red flag Perrie.
John is right. He and Amac perfected the art of using a counter article as a response and being unable to persuade them to stop I adopted their tactic.
XX, why didnt Trump stick to his telepropmpter?
Why does he have to aggrandize himself? Doesn't he know Jesus said "Blessed are the meek" ?

Why don't you ask Trump. I have no connection to him nor can I read his mind. Presidents often vary from their script and ad lib during a speech. Not a big deal here .
Why don't you ask Trump. I have no connection to him nor can I read his mind.
Ib other words you have no thoughts.
The difference is that they can actually debate in their own words, something that is totally foreign to you XX.
It seems that the parents of the scouts are not happy with Trump....
Pretty sad when you have to brag (lie) to a group of Boy Scouts about your accomplishments. Only goes to show what a low life Trump is.
Yeah more likely that successful people are evil and he should seek Marxist professors if he ever gets to college.
What makes you think that your successful and other people aren't Dean....How do you measure it...Humanity, wealth, what is your criteria? Whining and crying seems to be the order of the day for some of those that think they are successful.
I wasn't referring to me. I was replying to JR's photo about what Obama might have been saying to that kid. It says I can assure you Obama isn't telling this Boy Scout about his electoral college victory under the photo.
The ones that Obama tried to vilify in his stump speeches claiming they weren't paying their fair share.
The question still stand Dean....What are successful people in your opinion.
Nice dodge Dean....
Before I see one more tweet saying Obama never met with the Boy Scouts.
Kavika and jwc, please discuss the article and not XX debating skills.
Shouldn't this (above) be posted as a separate article?
It's a long article and should been linked, not to mention the piece was not edited, leaving eligible ads on the page.

‘We Love Trump’
Said the giant banner behind Trump on stage.
Is that the same thing as "Mission Accomplished?"
Damn, I never thought I'd miss Dubya. At least he was installed by the SCOTUS instead of by the Russians.
Randy, that was a really funny statement. LOL
Boy Scouts Chant ‘We Love Trump’ During President’s Speech At Jamboree
Come on Corny, in the first place, you can't just post an article as an answer to a comment and on top of that not take the time to edit the paste. You have eligible advertising phrases in there and it demonstrates your lack of concern for the quality of The NewsTalkers comment threads.
“You are the young people of character and integrity who will serve as leaders of our communities and uphold the sacred values of our nation,” Trump said.
What on earth does Trump know about character and integrity other than acknowledging that those are qualities he doesn't have?
What on earth does Trump know about character and integrity other than acknowledging that those are qualities he doesn't have?
Why don't you know! He learned about them in the Boy Scouts and the Military...oh...wait.....
Why did you post the same thing twice? I am having it deleted as soon as possible and you are wasting the moderators time.
They will be too late as I discovered the double post glitch and deleted the 2nd one already
lol. You posted it twice. It was no glitch.
No. He posted it a second time, just in case the first one was deleted.
You calling me a liar? The glitch was on my phone saying to send message even though unknown to me it had already been sent earlier. Next coc violation?
You posted the article twice. Tell your story to someone who cares.
XX you stated on one of my article that you would no longer post on them. Yet within minutes you were posting numerous comments on a article of mine.
Now what would you call that. lying, forgetfulness, deceit.
You calling me a liar? The glitch was on my phone saying to send message even though unknown to me it had already been sent earlier. I noticed above a couple other double posts you didn't whine about. Your Next coc violation?
stop spamming my article with duplicate comments. if you cant handle that then dont comment
stop spamming my article with duplicate comments. if you cant handle that then dont comment
John, I'm having the same problem. When I try to post a comment, often, it doesn't seem to take. If it is clicked a second time time it eventually will post twice.
The trick is, after clicking "Post Your Comment", if it doesn't take, click on the recycle button, it will show the comment was posted.
If you want to derail your own seed with this personal attack I'll be happy to defend myself here to the exclusion of all else. Your choice.
you have a bad habit of making duplicate comments. they will be removed.
You calling me a liar?
I would not call you a liar, but your comment was incredulous in the extreme, to the point of where any average person looking at it would say that the statement itself was a lie...
Why did you post the same thing twice?
lol. You posted it twice. It was no glitch.
Give him a break John, it has happened to all of us. The guy posts plenty of comments that give us fodder for criticism. I mean what would we do without the likes of the CornHusker to keep us on our toes?
OK guys,
Duplicate comments do happen. It has to do with pagination. I also noticed it happens on NV due to pagination. Just let a mod know and we will delete the comment.
Great kids! We love ❤️ Trump. And booing 👎Obama.
It looks like more boy scouts showed up here than people showed up to his inauguration. How nice that the POTUS is classing down this organization. There is little hope left for our country when a boy scout chants we love Trump. I wonder if he told his joke about why he got kicked out of the boy scouts.
Remember the parade for Trump at his massive inauguration?
Apparently, former boy scouts, and the parents of the boy scouts in attendance were NOT pleased with the speech.
This puts the boy scouts in an awkward position, doesn't it, as a non-profit organization?
No, not really. Presidents have spoken there before and what a visiting President says to them would have zero effect on their organizations tax status. Besides as the scouts make more compromises with the secular progressive left and abandon moral values, more young people are joining alternative scouting organizations instead.
"......more young people are joining alternative scouting organizations instead".
Gotta make sure those kids get properly brainwashed and turned into meat-headed conservatives.
As opposed to pantie waisted liberal whack job snowflakes that have no clue how to be an adult and have zero interaction with reality, Jerry?
They may as well have had Larry Flynt as a guest speaker. I don't know what they thought would happen when a foul mouthed ignoramus takes the stage in front of 40,000 youngsters, but maybe they ought to spend a little less time tying knots and a little more time watching legitimate news.
"......but maybe they ought to spend a little less time tying knots and a little more time watching legitimate news."
The scouts do a lot of things besides tying knots. Like learning how to be honest and how to treat your neighbors. Donald Trump is certainly not the one to be preaching those kids.
"Watching legitimate news"??!! Cub Scouts are as young as 7 years old. They will have plenty of time to be reading the news when they grow up. Right now those kids should be learning to understand life's values. Again, having Trump on the stage there created nothing but a negative impact for those kids.
Media Bash Trump's Boy Scouts Speech, Neglect Obama's Use of Children to Promote Agenda
Liberal media are bashing President Donald Trump for mentioning health care reform and “fake news” in a speech to Boy Scouts, but were silent about these time Presdient Barack Obama exploited children to advance his political agenda.
After Trump mentioned “Obamacare” twice, and “fake news” three times, in a 4,300-word speech [1] at the National Scout Jamboree Monday, liberal media were quick to criticize.
“Trump Gives Boy Scouts an Earful of Politics,” [2] the New York Times complained. Trump’s Boy Scouts speech broke with 80 years of presidential tradition [3], The Washington Post declared.
CNN.com posted not one, but three, critical stories on its homepage:
“President Donald Trump turned a Boy Scouts event into a campaign-style rally Monday,” CNN.com opened one piece.
But, the liberal media didn't mention that Obama used children to advance his political agenda items - like Obamacare, gun control, and LGBT privileges.
Here are just three examples:
