* Cocktail Parties
* President Obama

To Boy Scouts

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

Reminds me of Hitler youth.

I think he mentioned healthcare once.

He's really working hard to build support for that bill.

The youth are our future and I'm quite happy that Trump took it upon himself to educate them on the pressing issues of our day.

... He bragged about his election win, threatened to fire Tom Price over healthcare, bragged about him making the effort to actually show up and berated Obama at the same time, talked about cocktail parties. You cannot possibly think this speech was in any way appropriate.

Well it's either through him or the Internet. We need to set an example for the young people of this country and Trump has proven to be a stellar role model.

Sounds like the Secretary of HHS could pay a heavy price if the ACA isn't repealed.  Sorry Tongue

Between this and the video from this morning showing the bizarre reaction from the young White House interns, I somewhat agree with your observation.

I trust "the internet" would be hundreds of time more better.
trump is a "stellar role model" for anyone who wants to be referred to as an assh**e in society.

The Boy Sprouts have always reminded me of the Hitler Youth, even when I briefly was one.

/snark


Snark aside, Trump is so terrible that individual displays of wretchedness fall into the giant morass of greater awfulness and get lost. From any other president, a display like it sounds this one was would have damaged them and been a weapon wielded against them for the rest of their lives. For Trump, it's just another day.

Never forget, the GOP gave us this. Trump will eventually be gone, and we should all do our utmost to make sure that the GOP ends up on history's garbage heap with him.

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

There are plenty of liberal and/or minority Scouts who were probably annoyed by the hooting trolls. This is most likely being overblown.

Wow, the Boy Scouts really help raise young men to be positive role models for society. Not.

Tonight's Boy Scouts Jamboree speech could very well be one of the most disgraceful speeches that our "President" ever gave.

It's a perfect comparison.
The connection (or point) being made is not just the "Boy Scouts" and "Hitler Youth" (as you have highlighted).
Instead, it is talking to kids (remember these are children) about things like "fake news," "cocktail parties," and to bash former presidents like Obama. For a president to slam (past and present) political opponents at an event like this is disgusting. This is something "a Hitler" would do (get them young to hate Jews), thus the Hitler-ish comparison.
The Boy Scouts are taught to respect others, but all the Orange Clown is doing here is peddling hatred.

Look on the bright side: Once Trump passes Chumpcare...statistically speaking about 30% of that crowd will lose their insurance and the rest will have their rates jump 300% since West Virginia has most to lose out of any other state from an ACA repeal.

There is no bright side. Those people will suffer and die.

(Also they won't blame Trump or Republicans, so the less important political victory won't happen either.)

Stop digging. That was neither a clever nor appropriate comparison.

The Boyscouts aren't sending their best.

I was in scouts for a couple years and never noticed any conservative over/undertones.

I actually agree with Santander for once. It's pretty ridiculous to conflate state-sanctioned propaganda with a political speech by a President to the Boy Scouts.

Yeah, it's really not fair to compare the Hitlerjugend to the sexist theocrats running the Boy Sprouts.
