I leave for a couple of hours to take care of my kids, jump back on Twitter, and what do I see? A raving Donald Trump turning a Boy Scout Jamboree into a political rally. It’s not just any political rally, but one in which the President of the United States threatens to fire the Health and Human Services Secretary if he doesn’t kill Obamcare; in which he basically suggests to kids that if you buy a yacht you’ll get a lot of tail; and one in which he has the entire crowd of young men chant his name while booing President Obama and Hillary Clinton.
My child will never ever fucking join the Boy Scouts of America. Ever.
Here’s a taste of what I just witnessed through the eyes of Twitter:
The fact that the Boy Scouts allowed that speech to go on is the reason why I will NEVER let my son join. That was straight up Hitler stuff.

Well I wanted my son to join the Boy Scouts until I'm watching Trump address the Boy Scout convention and it looks like a Hitler Youth rally

Today Trump made a speech to the Boy Scouts that was as if he was trying to turn it into his own version of the Hitler Youth.

Trump tells the Boy Scouts he's going to kill Obamacare; Boy Scouts respond with chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" pic.twitter.com/DQpFXJpGGF

He now has them booing Obama. Rick Perry and Tom Price laughing behind Trump.

Encourage the Boy Scouts to boo America's first black POTUS. â¬‡ï¸ https://t.co/dWcqq9qKrp

Speaking to Boy Scouts, Pres. Trump quips Sec. Price "better get the votes" for health care bill, or he'll fire him. https://t.co/di8wjEHH3J

There is no bottom. Trump sees a bunch of Boy Scouts and sees nothing but another crowd to aggrandize himself to. Shameful. https://t.co/SOqzui9XOV

The Boy Scouts of America let a sexual predator and 5 deferment draft dodger address their scouts & bad mouth a former POTUS & FLOTUS.

Trump now has the Boy Scouts booing Hillary Clinton. "She didn't work hard" in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Educating boys to boo and malign accomplished women. Classy. Wonder what their mothers think?

YOU DON'T TALK TO CHILDREN LIKE THIS. YOU DON'T TALK TO CHILDREN LIKE THIS. https://t.co/KG4quwgTJw

I don't think I'll forget that Boy Scouts speech. The President of the United States is indoctrinating children into hatred.
— Mark Harris (@MarkHarrisNYC) July 24, 2017
Please @POTUS don't put the Boy Scouts in this situation. Keep politics out of the Jamboree. What a mess. Totally unfair to these kids https://t.co/lW7rwtF612

Here’s Trump’s “How to get laid” advice:

These Boy Scouts will always treasure the time the raving imbecile President told them about when he met Ron Fuck at the Wharton Club
— Virgil Texas (@virgiltexas) July 24, 2017
He’s starting a CULTURE WAR at a Boy Scout Jamboree!
President Trump to the Boy Scouts: "Under a Trump Administration, you'll be saying 'Merry Christmas' again as you go shopping."

I don’t know if there will be any political blowback here, but I will be supremely disappointed in America if a lot of parents aren’t pulling their kids from the Boy Scouts tomorrow. This is beyond f*cked, even moreso that these kids are whooping and hollering at the prospect of killing health care for millions of people.
Unbelievable.
