He was supposed to be at Dover Air Force Base

Last edited Sat Apr 5, 2025, 08:44 AM - Edit history (1)

Felon abandons fallen soldiers, goes golfing instead.. He was supposed to meet coffins of 4 fallen US soldiers who died in an accident in Lithuania - meeting them at Dover Air Force Base as presidents traditionally do Instead he’s going to Florida - so he can golf

Lucian K. Truscott observed:

All this is just more willful ignorance contained within his usual fog of lies. But it was his description of the grief of families meeting the bodies of their dead at Dover Air Force Base that was most illustrative of his abject disdain for human life. “They scream, like I’ve never seen anything before. They’ll break through military barriers. They’ll run to the coffin and jump on top of the coffin. Crying mothers and wives. Crying desperately.”

Spoke with him briefly at a breakfast honoring veterans, last November just after the election. Didn't know him, haven't seen him since.

About the choice between Kamala Harris and Cadet Bonespurs, he said "I didn't like either one of them, so I voted for Trump".

Yes, the jerk should have been there to honor these brave souls.

But did any Democrat think to go? I know this might sound opportunistic, and perhaps it is, but I think Dems need to start showing up in his place when he refuses to do things that are reverent and expected.

I would think that some Dems were involved (i.e., when the bodies come back to home states, etc.), but I think Dems need to use every opportunity that there is to show they have love of country and compassion to the stark contrast of this asshole who could care less that soldiers died serving their country.

Forgive me if I'm not making this clear enough.
