Trump spoke to 40,000 Boy Scouts about...

[publicunofficial]

The Jamboree is filled with only the scouts from the wealthiest families, as is very much a Hitler Youth rally as a result.

Pretty funny speech.

Can you stop emulating the unvarnished a$$hole "qualities" of your president for even a minute?

Hey, act like a d******, you'll get called out for it. If you obviously can't even defend president of United States of America giving a speech to always Scouts about his big electoral win, bad mouthing another price of the United States of America, and freaking cocktail parties, hey, that's your own problem

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I really don't have to defend him against people who attack him for everything. I save my energy for wavering Trumpists these days.

CNN's Jake Tapper breaks down the ridiculousness of trump's Boy Scout speech.

I thought you'd quit the Trump Train and evolved into "well, you can't blame me for supporting trump because Hillary was so bad"

[Classic Conservative]

Ok, I'm actually here and I watched Trump last night. Most people liked it, the only non-popular parts were the political parts but his supporters cheered.

I wonder how many will be 18 in 2020

I will

Obama was booed at the Jamboree he addressed in 2010 so he was speaking to a friendly crowd.

Dude you literally have no idea about why they booed him, I talked to my scoutmaster who went in 2010 and the Boy Scouts were very angry that year as it was the 100th anniversary, most presidents attend as they are the honorary presidents and Obama taped a session of the View the day the address happened so he skipped is for Whoopi.

Trump invited three cabinet members who are eagle scouts to the event, but Tillerson and Sessions, who are also eagle scouts, were not invited.

Looks like time is running out for Jeff and Rexy.

Tillerson came on Thursday when they had a building unveiled for him as the former BSA President.

* His election win
* "Fake news"
* Yachts
* Cocktail Parties
* President Obama

To Boy Scouts

Not to mention he had them boo both Clinton and Obama.

Reminds me of Hitler youth.

get a grip on reality. disgusting and false comparison.

I think you ask a lot of some folks, lol.

Boy Scouts are, by and large, one of the last Main Street Republican type boys organizations that maintain a high profile.  They're conservative in a real Gerald Ford way.  I must say, as a former Senior Patrol Leader and member of the Order of the Arrow, that I cringed more than a bit listening to Trump speak to Scouts today.  It wasn't about America or Boys; it was about HIM.  I expect politicians to be somewhat narcissistic, and I know that lots of pols aren't beyond milking drama, but I've come to believe that Trump just can't bring himself to be the "civic" Donald Trump when America needs him to be.

Fuzzy, I'm not going to try to fight with you my friend but you are mostly wrong. National is a Main Street type but around 70% of the Scouts probably are rabid Trump supporters. I've seen over 400 Trump hats in the past week here.

Trump is absolute trash. I hope I live to see the history books about this era.

How dare Barack Obama be the president for people other than rich, privileged white men and boys. Won't someone think of the poor, defenseless, put-upon white suburbanites who can afford to travel across country to attend a national jamboree? Won't they ever be spoken for?

[Coraxion]

Disgusting my ass. I will not conform to conservative correctness.

Screw the Boy Scouts!

Most Gerald Ford Republican types these days are for Trump.  And I'm sure that most of the Scouts think Trump is cool.

I question the example he set for the boys today.  I've been at Boy Scout events as a scout where there was politicized rhetoric.  This was during the Nixon years, and it was the "Silent Majority" stuff.  The boys probably liked the speech.  What they NEEDED was their President discuss with the boys how THEY are the future of America, and what kind of America we will have in 2040 will depend much on what kind of men they turn out to be.  To hear that from their President would have stayed with them their whole lives.  This, too, will stay with them their whole lives.  It will reinforce the cynicism that is not good for America, period.  Trump blew it today, and I'm not an anti-Trumper.

I voted for Obama in 2012.  I generally view him positively.  But one reason he was so polarizing is that he often acted like he was President of everyone but "rich, privileged white men and boys" and the "put-upon white suburbanites . . .", etc.  He was President of THEM, too, and he often appeared disdainful of this.  Obama SHOULD have made this gathering more important than some TV thing; it's an organization that has always been about God and Country, and Obama should have recognized THAT concept as important.

I must say that when I was a Boy Scout, I was also a long-haired McGovernite peacenik.  I heard my share of politicized talks at Memorial Day and Veterans Day parades in which I marched.  While this was an invitation to join the Silent Majority, I agree that it wasn't a long self-serving plug, but I remember speakers bashing the media back then.  I'm talking 1969-1972.

A "Memorial Day and Veterans Day parade" is not solely a Boy Scouts event.
The organization has no control or say-so on what should and should-not be discussed.
The event trump went to was 100% under the umbrella of the Boy Scouts organization.

Yeah, but that is at least influenced by the fact that it's being held in West Virginia. I realize it's a national convention, but most Scout troops aren't that rich, so locals are going to be disproportionately represented.

My Scout troop never even considered going to a national jamboree, but if it had been held in Mississippi we absolutely would have, along with almost every Mississippi troop.

Dude you have no idea how this works. Every council, there's around 500 of them in the nation sends a contingent. Those contingents are made up of anywhere from 1 to 10 troops. They aren't your local troop that meets on your church they are a collection of Boys who decide to go to Jambo. My council sent 3 troops around 120 people. So no there's not a lot of West Virginians in fact, I haven't met one and when he called out West Virginia at the rally yesterday there were 2 troops that cheered.
