Donald Trump came under fire on Saturday for his behavior during a solemn moment in which six fallen soldiers killed in the president's onslaught against Iran were honored.

The president was seen during the event standing upright while others bowed their heads. He was also wearing a white baseball cap during the typically solemn event, which was broadcast in complete silence on CNN.

That Trump behavior didn't sit well with numerous analysts, including Assistant Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks, who wrote, "Head unbowed and baseball cap in white. Total disrespect."

If it were up to him; he would not have been there.

Optics.

He was there to be seen; nothing more.

They mean nothing to him. To paraphrase him in 2017, "They knew what they signed up for".

He's such a disgrace, and he's such an asshole.

But he's grown way too attached to that stupid cap thing. It's hiding something.

13. Trump bows for no man. Also, he's afraid the wind will mess up his hair.

It takes a lot of time to arrange the remaining hair on his head. He's a busy man now, running a war. Expect to see that cap much more often.....

trump is a five-time draft dodger and it is totally against all protocols for trump to be saluting during this ceremony

From the 193rd Special Operations Wing website:

“Members should salute as the flag passes by. Former military members not in uniform may salute. However, civilians should not salute. As a sign of respect, civilians should instead remove any head gear and place it over their heart. In the absence of head gear, the customary gesture is to place the right hand over the heart.”

First President to take the “dignity” out of a “dignified” transfer
