I assume that was a Trump tweet?

Uncle Milty wrote:I don't consider this "slammed"

"In light of today's announcement from the defense department that 34 U.S. service members suffered traumatic brain injuries as a result of Iran's retaliatory strike and President Trump's remarks which minimized these troops’ injuries, the Veterans of Foreign Wars cannot stand idle on this matter.

TBI is a serious injury and one that cannot be taken lightly. TBI is known to cause depression, memory loss, severe headaches, dizziness and fatigue — all injuries that come with both short- and long-term effects.

The VFW expects an apology from the president to our service men and women for his misguided remarks. And, we ask that he and the White House join with us in our efforts to educate Americans of the dangers TBI has on these heroes as they protect our great nation in these trying times. Our warriors require our full support more than ever in this challenging environment." — William “Doc” Schmitz, VFW National Commander

Glossing over the "old white dudes" term for now, Trump responding as he normally does to criticism could swing a significant number of votes.

I think it's slammed when you consider who it's coming from. That's about as strong of a rebuke as the VFW is going to get to a sitting president.

As for the white dudes, I used to regularly deliver food to one VFW and went into another one probably 10 times with a friend because his dad worked there and I never saw anyone that wasn't old and white. I know other people are allowed to go, but that was my experience. Of course, that was years ago and things change.

So what?
