WASHINGTON ― In the world of President Donald Trump, he has paid his respects to “many, many” returning soldiers killed in the line of duty, with daughter and top presidential aide Ivanka Trump adding that “each time” she has stood by his side at one of these ceremonies, it has hardened his resolve to bring troops home.

In the real world, Trump has traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware exactly four times ― fewer than half as many times as his vice president ― and avoided going at all for nearly two years after getting berated for his incompetence by the father of a slain Navy SEAL, according to a former White House aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Bill Owens, the father of William “Ryan” Owens, refused to shake Trump’s hand at that Feb. 1, 2017, encounter, the aide said, and then told Trump that he was responsible for his son’s death for approving the disastrous raid in Yemen without bothering to understand the risks.

“He refused to go back for two years, he was so rattled,” the aide said, adding that the main reason Trump had approved the raid just five days after taking office was that predecessor Barack Obama had refused to do so.

1. Bill Owens is a hero.

That stupid MFer of a "president" thought people would fall all over themselves in gratitude to him, that they would be so happy to see HIM. God, I cannot wait for him to be gone from politics.

6. I agree Bill Owens is a hero, in more ways than one.

2. because Obama refused to do so

That says it all, doesn't it? Obama probably had good reasons for that. In comes dumbfuck, knows nothing whatsoever about the situation, doesn't care to learn, and does it JUST BECAUSE Obama didn't. People got killed? Too bad. He doesn't give two nasty fast-food shits about them either.

3. Trump is an impulsive ignorant man.

Did he bother to ask a single person whether there was a reason Pres. Obama refused to authorize such a raid? No, of course he didn’t. Because this mother-*****r is to f****ing dumb to understand what a risk assessment is.

4. TRUMP is a f**king coward. Period. In the future, when people look up the word 'coward', they are

going to see trump's name boldly shown.

5. He turned that first and only trip into a political event. But that's one more trip than bush.

7. He was the first casualty of Trump's ineptitude as a "Commander-In-Chief"

8. Now if tRUMP could just use his remaining/lonely brain cell he'd realize that he could avoid

being berated on a daily basis simply by resigning his pRESIDENCY!
