Online fundraiser launched to 'help Trump get a Purple Heart'

A Purple Heart recipient has launched a GoFundMe page online to raise money to "help Trump get a Purple Heart" by sending him to a war zone.

“On 2 August 2016, a veteran handed Donald Trump a Purple Heart medal at one of his rallies in Virginia,” Cameron Kerr wrote on the fundraising site later the same day. “As with seemingly everything else in his life, Mr. Trump got one handed to him instead of earning it.

“That being said, as a Purple Heart recipient who earned one the old-fashioned way by returning from Afghanistan one leg lighter, I fully endorse his desire to earn one and would happily oblige his interest in doing so by being one of the first to chip in to fly him to the conflict zone of his choosing," Kerr continued. "After all, you’re never too old to follow your dreams.”

Kerr says his pitch to send Trump overseas is in jest and that the money he raises will actually go to help Syrian refugees.


You got to see the humour(and the generosity) in it....I hope I bought a smile to your face with this post.

you don't want to move...The next easiest solution for you is to stay in the house, have everything you require flown in via drone, conduct all business over the internet....The ONLY reason you should leave the house is to attend political rallies , rallies for YOUR candidate...NOT the opposition candidate.

I wish you well...keep in touch.

I wouldn't think you were...you've been replaced many times over and someone is probably still there holding a spot for the next person to "take your place".

Imagine TheRUMP in power and countries start kicking American forces out of their bases....

"Looted and vandalized"?

Was that part of the payment for cleanup? (Greece can have the crap AKA garbage, that would cost too much to ship back to the States)


So The previous owner didn't cleanup after they left?

RE:a guest doesn't overstay his welcome

A GOOD guest cleans up when they leave.

it's the military of the country being left that requests that the 'crap' as you call it be left behind for their own military to use since they normally don't have the ability to acquire it on their own. Unfortunately, the military equipment we left behind in Iraq for the Iraqi military went into ISIS hands because that Iraqi military dropped it and ran away. In my own opinion, ALL military equipment should be shipped back home at ANY expense or dropped from ships into the oceans to ensure it never reaches enemy hands again. If that country doesn't want us there anymore, let them figure it out on their own once we leave. IF we had taken our equipment home once BO took us out of Iraq, ISIS wouldn't have been so well equipped to kill.
