Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is taking aim at President Donald Trump over his reported inability to comprehend the idea of self-sacrifice.
During a campaign event in Tampa, Florida, on veterans, Biden took aim at Trump over a report in The Atlantic that alleged the president did not comprehend heroism or the idea of self-sacrifice — especially when it comes to the Military.
Biden brought up a portion of the report that centered on Trump’s 2017 Memorial Day visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where he reportedly asked then-secretary of homeland security John Kelly — whose son was killed in Afghanistan — “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
He said, “It was reported from a very reliable source and confirmed by many major outlets that said. … to the father of a fallen soldier who was himself a member of the service while standing by the gravesite, he allegedly said, ‘I don’t get it. What was in it for them?'”
“What was in it for them? Donald Trump doesn’t seem to be able to conceive the idea of selfless service and being part of a cause that’s bigger than yourself,” he added.
