President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign used Veterans Day on Saturday to run a political ad bashing his main 2024 competitor and predecessor former President Donald Trump.
“If you don’t respect our troops, you can’t lead them,” Biden’s personal X account posted, along with the ad.
The ad is based on an anonymously-sourced Atlantic article that claimed Trump had disparaged fallen World War II soldiers while visiting a cemetery overseas.

Biden’s post was immediately met by a string of criticism for releasing a political ad on Veterans Day and posts reminding him of moments he showed callousness towards troops.
“You literally called them “stupid bastards,” said one commenter.

“The fact that you make a day remembering vets into a political ad is absolutely disgusting. I can’t wait to see you lose,” said another.
“What a disrespectful way to honor Veteran’s Day. Spewing lies and rhetoric. I would expect nothing less from the worst president and cic in our history. Regardless of your weakness and gross disrespect: We are the shining examples of true American Spirit,” added another.

Another account posted the time Biden looked at his watch as he waited for the bodies of fallen service members to return home from Afghanistan after being killed in the president’s bungled withdrawal.

Earlier in the day, Biden had gone to a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery where he appeared confused and had to be guided back to his place by a member of the Honor Guard.

Biden is the biggest hypocrite and anti military person next to obama. Neither one respects the military with their policies concerning them. Biden is a coward, the sorriest cic this country has had, he bungled the Afghanistan withdrawal because he thought he knew more than his military advisors. His disrespect for the ones killed in a terrorist attack, his idiot woke policies causing low moral in the military and his illegal vaccine mandates which have caused low enlistments, his giving all of our weaponry to the Ukraine and his stupid use of the strategic oil reserves to try and gain polling points and also selling some of that oil to China. Biden should never say anything about Trump not respecting the military. The military liked Trump they hate obiden. FJB lets go Brandon
Remember slow joe on the previous campaign trail saying “clap you stupid b@stards” – yep he really respects our military.
