No new sirens, no new alarms.
There was that time in 2019, an Armed Services Welcome Ceremony. Disabled Army Captain Luis Avila was invited to sing, to participate. A video shows Trump going over to Avila to congratulate and embrace Avila after the song. But that was but a public display. The two-faced president then returned to his seat aside Gen. Mark A. Milley and asked, "Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded." Trump then instructed Milley to never let Avila make a public appearance again.
This story about Trump was just revealed this week. We are no longer astonished at such revelations -- at least, no longer surprised. We continue to be aghast. We feel abhorance, certainly, but not surprise.
