... how the hell did Trumpigula’s X rant get shoehorned into a thread about about Dunkirk?

The USA celebrates Memorial Day on the anniversary of Operation Dynamo. Trump's post talks about Memorial Day.

Trump’s post speaks movingly about the debt and gratitude we owe to fallen soldiers. Some 1000 British soldiers died in Operation Dynamo while saving some 340k soldiers from capture or destruction by German forces.

Sick.

Because I posted it there. Is that ok with you?

[Renauda]

No

I've already sent several draft posts to my editors, which were to be published in the coming days and weeks. I will let them know to remove the sick parts.

Trump would have won Dunkirk.

By a lot.

@Doctor-Phibes

In fact, it wouldn’t have happened if Trump were president.

It does rather taint an otherwise noble (rare?) thread.

The fuck you talking about? Trump did win Dunkirk. But it was stolen by the Brits. Or maybe the Germans.

Heh heh heh. He said ‘taint’.

[Horace]

This thread was too beautiful for this world. I became insanely jealous of it, and in my spite, I tainted it.

[Renauda]

Hater.

War cemeteries are intensely emotional places. You gaze over a sea of crosses and contemplate our nature. What must it be like for leaders who sent men to fight?
