Actually, I am glad that TRAITOR** krasnov skipped the dignifed transfer

[niyad]

of those four soldiers. He has nothing but contempt for our military members, zero empathy for grief and loss, and would make it all about himself with some truly awful behaviour and remarks. This way, he is not polluting this sad moment.

1. I agree, knowing how he feels about the military it would have been disgusting.

He can't even pretend to care.

[Deuxcents]

2. I'll agree. Plus, he showed the world by hosting a Saudi golf tournament today just what his true colors are.

He put himself on display for the whole world to see how truly disgusting he is.

[niyad]

4. The truly sad part is how many people love how disgusting he is.

3. Have they returned yet?

News report said THIS WEEKEND.

[Skittles]

5. he cannot stand anyone getting more attention than him

even deceased soldiers

Trump is one sick POS

[niyad]

6. Sadly true.

[Skittles]

8. it's why he took so long to respond to Covid

he couldn't stand that a fucking VIRUS was getting so much attention so he ignored it

[niyad]

14. But. .but. .he didn't want to start a panic!

7. The family asked that the media not be there

Newsweek has not confirmed the exact timing of the dignified transfer, but an administration official said families of the deceased requested that no media be present. "The White House is requesting their respect for privacy today and has been working on correspondence to the families," the official added.

Media kept at a respectful distance has happened many times but Trumpy has to be the center of attention. Pfffttt

So he sent Pete the Dragon.

9. If the families asked for no media, that should be respected but the president should be there w/out the media

But as posters here have said, he can’t do anything w/out a media fanfare. There are many ways the president could be there discretely and respectfully. He gets no pass on this in my book

16. Truth be told,

The fact that the family's asked for no media/ cameras, is exactly why Trump didn't do his duty. It's all probably best it worked out the way it did. Had Stupid been present, he would have made the solemn occasion all about him. He would have smiled and frankly, family members might have feigned praise and asked to shake his hand and instead knocked him for a loop. There. Put that on camera. Asshole. The POTUS is a thug.

17. I gotta agree..it's not in his character to show respect or empathy and it would be all about me, me, me

I’m just disgusted that the president can’t be presidential, even at an event as important as this. Wish he’d just disappear

[ReRe]

18. Me too, my friend. Me too. Poof, into thin air. n/t

10. No media is a non starter for Krasnov.

No chance to turn it into a photo op of himself.

[niyad]

13. I am having trouble with the idea of whiskeyleaks and dignified at the

same occasion.

[niyad]

15. "requesting their respect"??? WTF??? A "spokesperson" who cannot

speak propor English???

[GenThePerservering]

11. One good thing about this

the optics are terrible for Trump.

[niyad]

12. It will be interesting to see how this gets played tomorrow.

[New Breed Leader]

19. I am too

I don't want that demon anywhere near those dear souls, may they rest in peace.
