(CNN)President Donald Trump turned a Boy Scouts event into a campaign-style rally Monday, starting off by saying he'd put aside the "fake news" and other issues in Washington while addressing the Boy Scouts of America 2017 National Scout Jamboree. "I said, who the hell wants to speak about politics when I'm in front of the Boy Scouts?" Trump said. Trump went on to dive into politics anyway -- blasting the media, pushing for the repeal of Obamacare and making a pointed remark about "loyalty." Listing off the virtues of Boy Scouts at the West Virginia speech, Trump said: "As the scout law says, a scout is trustworthy, loyal," Trump said, before adding, "We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that." Trump's comments came the same day he called Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was in the Boy Scouts, "beleaguered" in a tweet expressing his frustration over the ongoing Russia investigations. At the event, Trump also warmly recalled his victory against Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. "Do you remember that famous night on television, November 8?" Trump asked. He told the Scouts that Republicans had a tremendous disadvantage in the Electoral College and that the popular vote, which he lost to Clinton, "is much easier." He went on to tell the Scouts his victory was "an unbelievable tribute to you and all of the other millions and millions of people that came out and voted for Make America Great Again." http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/24/politics/trump-boy-scouts-rally/index.html Thank you, Mr. President, for showing these 11 year olds what NOT to grow up to be. A paranoid, borderline crazy, vindictive and thin skinned old man. |

From the things I'm seeing this morning, Trump is on a big "loyalty" jag. Not loyalty in general, just loyalty to him. How far off is a required loyalty oath from all of the White House staffers? The followers too. This Bastige' has some serious mental illness and it is in full display for the writers to chronicle as he sinks into his delusion. |

By this time next month, I suspect Jeff Sessions will have been fired. |

He is correct. Why isn't anyone reporting on the fact that Lynch and Rice were MIA from their testimony. |

The embarrassment that is President Trump continues to insist that we have every reason to be embarrassed by him. There is no excuse or defense for this performance by the President at a Boy Scout Jamboree. |

Historically fascinating. What does it have to do with this topic? Nothing that I can see, not to the point of a Hitler. |

Boy Scouts aren't Nazi's and President Trump isn't Adolf Hitler. He is however using the power of his position to turn these kids against a free press, to put a conscience in them that the press lies and that only the Government has the truth. Beyond not being what conservatism used to stand for its feeding poison to impressionable minds. "Damage America First" |

No matter how inappropriate he is today, he will top it tomorrow. He's the drunk uncle that likes to grope his nieces girlfriends...and the nieces too. |

Free press? Don't make me laugh. A free press doesn't collude with a presidential campaign and attempt to subvert a democratic election. Edited by estonianman, Jul 25 2017, 08:59 PM.

Have they been scheduled? Link? I cannot find any statements beyond Congressmen saying that they should. They need to be scheduled and refused before this becomes anything. |

I read they were scheduled last week and canceled - could be fake news though, needs to be verified. |

Rice was scheduled, then delayed and eventually canceled. Nothing on Lynch. |
