Summary

Donald Trump will not attend the dignified transfer of four U.S. soldiers killed during a training exercise in Lithuania.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will represent the administration at Dover Air Force Base. Critics noted Trump’s rare attendance at such ceremonies, citing just four appearances during his first term.

The soldiers’ remains were found in a peat bog after a March 25 accident.

Trump is instead scheduled to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Lithuania’s president honored the fallen at a repatriation ceremony, drawing contrast with Trump’s absence.

    As expected from someone who openly calls fallen members of the military “losers”.

    Remember this, American forces, when he sends you to war with your long-term allies.

    No soldier with any sense of awareness to the fact that Donald Trump is an enemy to the US (which admittedly is depressingly few), would want him there anyway.

      The end of the American century was when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy and it didn’t matter. Or mocking a disabled guy, and that didn’t matter. Or, long before that, talking about how he wants to fuck his daughter and that didn’t matter. Or…

    I expect nothing else from ol’ Cheeto Face. He thought John McCain was a loser for getting shot down over Vietnam and being held as a POW, so I can only imagine what he would think of a bunch of guys drowning in a bog.

    Fox News would’ve blamed Biden for the soldiers deaths and Biden would’ve been attending the transfer and taking all kinds of shitty media coverage over it. Instead, Trump goes golfing and no one cares.
