He has disrespected our veterans, service members and Gold Star families over and over. Prayers for these soldiers and their families.

Thx for this touching & fascinating read. Can only imagine what would have happened if 44 or 46 skipped this for a Saudi golf event.
So interesting to hear what goes into it. I'm really curious if you requested to be in this unit or were your randomly assigned? Thank you for your service & caring.

Thank you Charlotte. A great piece of writing conveying the emotion, respect and reverence of dignified transfers. I’m not from the US so was unfamiliar with the protocol.

duannied.bsky.social•53 days ago

He’s never going to honor them in any manner whatsoever. He doesn’t care at all. He won’t show up anywhere. He can’t be bothered by any of this.

writer4life.bsky.social•56 days ago

Heartbreaking for these soldiers and their families. What a vile, vile man.

optymusprymus.bsky.social•56 days ago

Honestly, I say let him continue to disrespect our military and law enforcement. We need them to do their jobs and protect the People. Not be his strong arm when he decides to use force against us.

gooneybird.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thank you for highlighting this. Almost every male & a few female members of our extended family have served in every conflict since before 1900. My brother who along with his ex, brother, stepson, & son-in-law all serving during wartime says trump golfing is no big deal. His last post was Dover. 🥺

jay-rios.bsky.social•56 days ago

What does this guy have to do to prove he hates service people? Sack veterans, tramples graves for a photo op, calls them losers. Why anyone would serve faithfully under him is a total mystery.

jay-rios.bsky.social•56 days ago

notgoingback2024.bsky.social•56 days ago

It is not any odd golf. He has "dignitaries" from Saudi Arabia attending, and they will be SO impressed by his golfing. Also, he (what a coincidence!) has the golden Trump visas ready today with his face on them. Available for 5 million per unit for everyone who wants to live/make money in the US.

capecodpostaah.bsky.social•56 days ago

pmpknspcaholic.bsky.social•56 days ago

I remember when Biden got crucified 4 glancing at his watch during a transfer. Something I’m sure would have gone unnoticed if certain people hadn’t been looking 4 something 2 tear him apart on. Guessing those same people will b silent on this like they were every other transfer trump skipped.

bennihana70.bsky.social•53 days ago

If he’s anything like me, he wasn’t even looking at his watch. For me, it’s a thing I do in these situations, completely subconsciously. I don’t even register the time at all when I do it.

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•52 days ago

Have the families of those four soldiers spoken out?

exurbansuburban.bsky.social•56 days ago

Perhaps not the point of the piece, but I'm curious how a soldier gets the honor of performing a transfer.

donnayoungdc.bsky.social•56 days ago

Just since Jan. 20, U.S. taxpayers have paid over $26 MILLION for Trump's golf outings.
He's emptying our 401ks, driving up consumer costs, taking away U.S. jobs, making our nation more vulnerable to disease & attacks.
And he skipped the dignified transfer for golf. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-golf-again-26-million_n_67e6c885e4b0f69ef1d3886c

He uses the military as a political tool. What a selfish fuck.

thisisme7.bsky.social•56 days ago

Thank you I just sent you a post about this. Everybody needs to be talking about this dirt bag. After all the horrible things he said what they’re doing to the VA, he went to the Saudi freaking LIV golf tournament.

mcahalane.bsky.social•56 days ago

We don't even have to go into what dirt bags the Saudis are, either...

alicialou.bsky.social•56 days ago

There are not enough adjectives to describe how repugnant and reprehensible he and his Reich are! This is absolutely sickening.

armandostiletto.bsky.social•55 days ago

Too inconvenient for him. He already had his golf togs laid out on the bed.

jellybeansmom.bsky.social•49 days ago

And yet he wants you to feel passionate about serving the country.

He won't be bothered to care if anything happens to you, and he couldn't be bothered to serve himself, but you better believe you expects you to lay down your life for our right to make cell phones.

jbert65.bsky.social•53 days ago

If you want an idea of what this is like, watch the movie 'Taking Chance' with Kevin Bacon. It's based on a story by an escort. I can never make it through without crying, especially the end when they show real video of Chance Phelps growing up.

This POS will lose zero support from this. If Obama did this every MAGA racist asshole would be losing it.

larubia22.bsky.social•56 days ago

It is just the latest in his disrespect and contempt towards the military & veterans who have served. I will never understand how anyone in the military could have voted for & still support this president.

sfgirluk.bsky.social•56 days ago

It really is baffling, isn't it?

diana52.bsky.social•56 days ago

He’s disgusting and disrespectful and we are footing the bill for his golf outing. 😡

It only paying for the golf trips, but the $ goes into his pocket…as he plays at Maralago. Absolute grifter!!!

paulierockets.bsky.social•51 days ago

I understand dignified transfers because you wrote an amazingly moving piece. But the respect due a fallen service member. It’s a small thing to exchange for a life given—and it’s thus much more important.

christine-m.bsky.social•55 days ago

Thank you for sharing and educating.

He‘s disrespectful and inconsiderate.

And politically dumb. Look at the special election results in Florida‘s 1st congressional district which harbours many voters from the military. Soldiers & family don‘t forget.

andtheradiosays.bsky.social•56 days ago

This is an extremely moving piece of writing. It illuminates beautifully the dignity of the ceremony, and therefore also the obscenity of what 45/47 has done

sstan99.bsky.social•56 days ago

One of the best movies I’ve watched was Taking Chance where Lt. Col. Strobl (played by Kevin Bacon) performed escort duty for Pfc. Chance Phelps. It was very moving.

He is too busy gargling Saudi LIV balls to care about any military member or their sacrifice. He regards them as losers and chumps anyway. Corporal bonespurs has zero regard for any soldiers or veterans.

jamesfromqueens.bsky.social•56 days ago

You are being very harsh. The Saudis paid their president tons of money to be there, much more than the pennies he gets per day from us, and money fuels his fire. Priorities!

nomadgirl10.bsky.social•56 days ago

At least the people of Lithuania and their President honored them lining thevstreets of Vilnius even if our President would not.

roxyqueen.bsky.social•56 days ago

And remember when Pres. Biden briefly checked his watch while awaiting one of these transfers, and conservatives lost their shit?

sharkloverchick.bsky.social•56 days ago

Is it any surprise that the lunatic that called soldiers suckers and losers doesn't give a shit about them, or their sacrifice? How long until the soldiers and vets start believing him when he shows how little he cares?

gemcityvinnie.bsky.social•56 days ago

When I read shi...stuff like this, I always think about the neighbor down the street who still has their "Veterans for Trump" sign in the yard and how different our mindset is in our home with Veterans.

spaceartal.bsky.social•56 days ago

Any active duty service personnel or veteran needs to go back and read the oath we took. Their brains are scrambled from Fox News playing non-stop on military bases. Fuck them.

The actions of a man who is concerned not a whit about ever being held to account to either the people who put him in power or to the people to whom he made an oath to represent. May that be a grievous mistake.

Concur, Sir. A condolence letter from the sitting president is routinely sent to the families of deceased military members. My father, retired CMS, USAF, passed away in Feb 2018 at 90 years old. When the letter came with trump's signature, I threw it away. I could not dishonor my Dad with that trash

rainsurname.bsky.social•53 days ago

I once had a psychiatrist who served at Guantanamo & Walter Reed, who left the military during his first term.

She said Obama quietly visited vets on a regular basis, but that Trump never, ever came unless it was a medal ceremony, & that there were many who did not want to receive them from him.

dktr.bsky.social•56 days ago

This freak would pick a Big Mac over dignity, respect and duty. His actions, in every instance, merit impeachment. I think openly extra judicial killings are not far off. He's already using El Salvador prisons as a slave labor camp. Deaths in those camps can't be far off.

There is absolutely no bottom for this disgusting sub human POS. Of course he went to the LIV event - there’s money to be made there and debts to be paid for previous grifts. He is by far the most despicable President ever seen in our country.

Sickening to watch American golfers fawn over his presence at the match. Bunch of traitors.

darbrina.bsky.social•56 days ago

I am not watching it. I no longer care about golf. They lost me as a spectator when they went to LIV golf. As for Tramp, he has always been a sociopathic narcissist. He doesn't even pretend to care, bc he has no empathy.

spaceartal.bsky.social•56 days ago

Don’t watch LIV ether.
