Trump puts himself first

I am 70, a Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War. I am insulted to have a president who so blatantly found ways to not serve in our military lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

He forfeited that right and continues to do so as he flaunts his “me” attitude instead of being first concerned with what is best for the health and welfare of every American.

I ask anyone to name one thing President Donald Trump has said or done that does not first greatly benefit him. A real leader is concerned about the welfare of the people first, just like those who gave their lives in the service of this country.

I doubt that Trump even knows what the meaning of service is. God bless those who do know what real sacrifice is.
