You don't "lay down your very lives" by voting in a school board race, or attending a school board meeting, or donating to or campaigning for a school board candidate. In what kind of activity do you "lay down your very lives?"
Violence, that's what kind. He calls for violence.
Trump calls on his supporters to "lay down their very lives" in the fight against critical race theory

And because you can't put an asterisk in a speech, I think it's safe to assume that when Trump spoke of people having to "lay down their very lives," he intended an exemption for those suffering bone spurs.

I don’t know if you have children, but a good parent will do what they have to do, so their children’s minds are not being destroyed by critical race theory ie teaching children to hate each other because of the color of their skin

If you think children anywhere in this country are being taught anything close to "critical race theory," you are being played for a major sucker.

This is the clearest response to the madness I’ve seen. Thank you. You’re a voice of reason and sanity.

There will come a point where he will be answered with violence.
It will be morally wrong. I will say, "Tsk, tsk," under my breath to register my outrage.

Yes he does. From Trump’s perspective, he sees soldiers dying for Putin. Trump thinks he deserves the same.

And you certainly don't "lay down your very lives" over 'critical race theory' WHICH IS NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS.

I argue with family and friends all the time about Trump. One thing I've noticed - if someone starts their argument with "what he meant to say was..." they already lost the argument.
