President Donald Trump is facing criticism after welcoming retired Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher—who was accused of war crimes and posed with the body of a dead Islamic State fighter—to Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

Gallagher faced seven charges related to his deployment to the Iraqi city of Mosul during the battle against ISIS fighters holding the city. He was eventually acquitted of six charges, but was found guilty of posing with the body of a teenage militant.


Trump intervened in Gallagher's case despite the military requesting he not do so. Gallagher was demoted after being convicted, but the president said this decision would be reversed. He also said Gallagher would retain his Trident pin, which symbolizes SEAL membership.

Over the weekend, Trump and First Lady Melania welcomed Gallagher to the president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

A photo of their meeting was posted on Gallagher's Instagram. Gallagher thanked the president for intervening in his case and gave Trump a gift from his time in Iraq, though it is not clear what.




Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor and legal analyst was among those who criticized Gallagher's visit on Twitter. "Trump has ushered in the death of decency," he wrote. "Our government is unrecognizable."

Trump has taken pride in defending U.S. soldiers accused and convicted of war crimes. Last month, he pardoned two other soldiers—First Lieutenant Clint Lorance and Major Matthew Golsteyn...............................

1. How creepy is that!

10. Spanish dicho, proverb: Hierba mala nunca muere [bad weeds never die.] Es todo, nothing else to add

Heirba: yerba: weed
Mala: bad, sick and or evil
Nunca: never
Es todo: that's it

4. Being a total wimp himself, The Donald gets off being around supposed tough guys

It's in keeping with his attraction to murderers like Putin, MBS, Bolsonaro, Duterte. Jung Un, etc.

Trump craves violence and death, and I believe he thinks about ways to be president forever, so he could unleash a RWNJ militia with so-called leaders like ex-Seal Gallagher and his ilk to render some Trump justice on Liberals.

7. That's the crux of it, I think.

In his comic book world badassery reflects favorably upon him, as evil mastermind, and he basks in its glow.

9. We need to start creating our own militias to counter these fockheads

5. The Big Tent

6. Recruiting his Civil War 2 generals. nt

8. Did he invite his pardoned Army Lt who was convicted and serving time in prison for war crimes?

11. Why even apply to Walmart when he's perfect for a command position in Trump's SS?

[keithbvadu2]

13. Looks like Lorance still has a dishonorable discharge

What about the other SEAL who admitted killing the prisoner?

He cannot be prosecuted but he has now admitted committing a war crime.

12. Trump invites war criminal to the Russian White House party.

There, I fixed it.
