1. The family that invited Trump doesn't get to exempt him from the law. They simply don’t have that power. They also don’t speak for all the other gold star families.
2. Trump didn’t go for the first or second anniversaries, just the one before an election.
3. Trump never attended any of the gravesites of the 65 service members who died on his watch.
4. In October 2020, Trump said he would have all the troops in Afghanistan home by Christmas. Didn't happen.
And let's not forget his comment to the mother of her son, KIA, "He knew what he signed up for."
