Trump Brags To Boy Scouts About Spending Time Partying On Yachts, Hints At Sex Yacht Party

Trump Brags To Boy Scouts About Spending Time Partying On Yachts, Hints At Sex Yacht Party
ByGuardians of Democracy StaffPublished on July 24, 2017

During his speech to the Boy Scouts of America on Monday, President Trump bragged about spending time on yachts and recounted a story about meeting real estate developer William Levitt at a cocktail party with “the hottest people in New York.”

Speaking to the massive crowd in West Virginia, Trump described a yacht party he attended where he saw Levitt after the developer had suffered several failed business endeavors.

At one point, Trump told the Boy Scouts he couldn’t recount part of his story because it was not suitable for the young children.

“I won’t go into any more than that cause you’re Boy Scouts,” Trump said, hinting at an orgy as Death & Taxes noted. “So I’m not going to tell you what he did.”

As much as I don't like it the man is in the office as president of the united states. Who would think that a sitting president would make a speech like that? The Bsa is in a bad position because it is not their fault what trump said but they are blamed for it when every us president is invited to speak. Obama passed the opportunity he had twice. The Bsa can not make a statement about the speech because it would be disrespectful to the office. We are again in uncharted territory, hate trump for what he did not the people he did it to.

Last edited Tue Jul 25, 2017, 05:57 PM - Edit history (1)

It's a case that went to the supreme court because the plaintiff, James Dale said his rights were violated under New Jersey's public accommodations law. What happened is that the boy scouts found out that Dale, who was an eagle scout and assistant scoutmaster, was gay and fired him.

It's a great example of conservative activism on the Supreme Court, the conservative members of the court used affirmative action laws to claim that straight white boy scouts needed protection from homosexuals and a liberal majority. They then used the Right of Association to justify discrimination against LGBT folks. The boy scouts won, 5-4.

Vicente Fox ( former president of mexico) aptly refers to eltrump as elfeogringo, the ugly American) ugly in that the man has no decency, shame, respect others, no aptitude for anything really, he's a greedy racist bigot who wishes to do America harm, the progress we have made has been to no avail...this ugly american, is the face and voice of our america. I am embarrassed to call this man president. His disregard, disrespect for the Boy Scout youth used the jamboree event as a place to spew hate and propaganda.

His narcissistic, inappropriateness projected to impressionable young men was reprehensible, they were a captive audience and didn't have the wherewithall to object, leave...what was AS reprehensible is that Perry, Price, others stood and laughed applauded this monster. Scout leadership director/CEO let this debacle continue ...instead of stopping his crzyholiness-king by saying to eltrumpf, this is not a political rally, not a place to bash our former president, talk about yachts and sex, encourage boos and jeering...if you don't refocus I'm pulling the plug. I'll say thank you, you sit or leave and I will continue to present to boy scouts about what having character and values looks like...but not ONE adult present had the ganas (boldness, fortitude; or crass slang for balls, juevoas, male genitalia.) to stand up to this bully, anarchist. God said to Lot... find me just one decent person and I'll save them all ...we know what happen there-- oh but these hypocritical-christians republikkklanas believe that decency, kindness, empathy, respect does not pertain to them.

Now they want to (after 60+votes) to repeal the affordable care act, Obamacare where 22million or more will lose health care coverage; coverage that saves lives, provides preventative care. Is there not ONE decent honorable man or woman left in the republican party that'll stand and be counted? Stand for what's right? (Rhetorical, of course. And, sure there are the few that will vote against but it's for their own greedy purposes.)

As posted many times elsewhere, for 80 years the BSA have been inviting their ceremonial head, POTUS, to address the Scouts. As you well know, they are a non-political organization focused on the development of youth. If they had failed to invite him, or refused his request to speak (not sure which it was), that would have been an overtly political act.

This disgrace we have to everything good and sacred sitting in the oval office did what he always does, corrupted, abused and took advantage of the situation.

That is where our anger should be directed, not at BSA.

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

can let that vile speech from BLOTUS get a pass. Are these just words on a paper? Are these ideals only when it is easy, not for hard times like we will have in the coming years with Trump and the republicans running the show?

We have a 'president' of zero morals, zero honor, never lifted a finger to do anything for his country and now shits all over the BSA as well.

Mr. Dowling: If my son was still scouting age, I'd remove him immediately from the scouts. I'm sure you've heard from many people who found the president's speech vulgar and beyond inappropriate. It stood against all of the values that scouting has so proudly stood for. I believe it did actual damage to the young minds who heard it and were encouraged to boo President and Mrs. Obama, to cheer for hot people doing unspeakable things on yachts, for blatant lies about crucial political issues. At the very least, the BSA owes those boys and their parents an apology for exposing them to such a revolting message. It owes President and Mrs. Obama an apology for the gross disrespect. It owes the American people an assurance that what we heard yesterday does not reflect the values of the BSA in any way.



What was most chilling was the cheering of so many impressionable young men at the titillating hints at bad behavior the president described. This is how you hook young minds into following a bad leader. This is appalling.



If the BSA cannot publicly distance itself from yesterday's disgusting spectacle, it is no longer the Boy Scouts of America.

It's like watching your drunk uncle at Christmas parties, getting uncomfortably lurid with the story details around the kids. Except in this case there's no responsible parents around to cut him off and tell him that's not appropriate for children.

His own adult children never had a chance of knowing what "inappropriate" looks like.
