On Saturday, March 8th, trump attended the dignified transfer of six soldiers killed in Kuwait during Operation Epic Fury, his ongoing war with Iran. He showed up wearing a white "USA" baseball cap with gold lettering, straight from his own $55 merch line, and never took it off.
No other U.S. president has ever worn a baseball cap during a dignified transfer. While other networks aired the real footage, Fox News played old video from a completely different ceremony so their audience would never have to reckon with what their guy actually did.
Fox News later admitted on air that they "inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday," calling it a mistake.
Twice. On two separate programs.
The backlash was immediate and crossed party lines. California Governor Gavin Newsom called trump a "disgusting little man," and former RNC chairman Michael Steele blasted him for having "absolutely no sense of dignity or appreciation for the moment."
This isn't just bad optics for trump, it's a revealing moment for Fox News. Social media users accused the network of blatantly disrespecting dead troops just to make trump look better, and honestly, it's hard to argue otherwise.
A network that spent years policing Obama's tan suit just quietly swapped out footage of a commander in chief wearing campaign merchandise at one of the military's most solemn ceremonies. The soldiers deserved better. So did the viewers Fox News spent years telling they were getting the truth.
DEVOLUTION

Does no one remember when just a few years ago Trump described dead military personnel as losers and suckers??
He wore a blue suit for the pope's burial, took a shit on live TV(everyone smelled it), throws paper towels, and shits in the hallway. Trump is Trump! Disrespecting a soldiers burial, what's new? The left is melting over this, this doesn't look good.
Trump back hands a 7 year old like a pimp and tell her God isn't real, I'm not flinching!
Fuck trump, fuck obama, fuck gw. Addition: fuck Eric, Steve, Jonathan and all other local politicians. They DGAF about us or anyone else. Look back at 9/11 assholes. Who were the victims? You do realize that the twin towers were professionally demolished? No evidence of the jets after they crashed? Skyscraper buildings are designed to sway in the winds and freezing temperatures. What an insult to the architects and engineers that a +100 floor building could crumble because a jet hit it. Look at the building that got demolished on SPI some years back. Twin Towers went the same way.

Why? All you RGV people ask yourself a question. Why are we fighting Iran? Fuck them. Let them kill each other. IDGAF. They don’t fit into this world and we are supposed to care? Diesel is approaching 5-6 dollars a gallon. We will all be screwed when we go shopping. We are all going down. And I invite KOK, FRANK GARCIA, and Dr. Montoya himself, to disagree with this comment.

How tall are you 1.618?
You write like you're some shrimpy-looking moron.
Don't salute if you're not wearing a cover dumbass!
There's a channel on youtube called the Representative Press this May 15th it will be a 20 year old channel. RP talks about why we were attacked on 9/11, support for Israel.
He has videos and pictures of all the damage done to building 7 and all the other buildings, building 7 looked intact from the front but was structurally weak since more than half that building was damaged and missing. It was in worse condition than the Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma that was blown up by Right wing MAGA types that believe in conspiracies and name call others who call out their fascism and racism, communists.
When you make a claim the onus on those that make that claim.
Hey Chels, I'll tell you why we are fighting Iran. It's because DJT was groomed by Netanyahu. He nominated him for the NPP. You stroke Trump's ego and he is eating out of your hand. Also, it's a distraction from the E-files. His sons have an opportunity to cash in by investing in a drone-making company. I don't agree with your "they don't fit into this world" comment. The Middle East is their turf. Has been for 2,500 years. WE don't belong there. The GOP holds all the cards, all branches of government. They provide cover and back-up everything the lunatic-in-chief does. The blame lies squarely on their heads. It is the obligation of any nation to defend its sovereignty and citizens from hostile actions taken against it. Regime change needs to happen here in America.
Trump started it. He wants the oil. Trump has made the world his playground. He has not ruled out the draft. You are right who cares about Iran. Let them kill themselves
You're a fake news antisemite, Montoya.
I don't write, I'm barely literate and I'm dumber than most.
Show me the proof that this actually occurred. Fake BS!
MAGA has gotten used to your whining. Keep it up. That's all you have left.
Fuck everyone is fine! But ask yourself who were the ones behind this tragedy.
If your talking about communist I guess your talking about the old democratic party.
Like an animal costume like you democrats like to use?
I totally agree. We should have left Iran alone. In a few years they would have had the capability to destroy the United States. I would have loved to see missiles hitting our country and killing our population. We as a people are full of hate, weakness and stupidity. We need to be eliminated.
We all need oil to survive until a new alternative is developed.

Nice sarcasm idiot. As a former spy I can tell you that if any bombs etc hit the USA, we will hit them back within minutes. It most likely will not happen because of MAD (mutually assured destruction). Iran is a distraction. I also find it amusing that if I type Iran into my POS iPhone it capitalizes the name and gives me the flag, but if I type trump it is not capitalized as if the guy doesn’t exist? China will have our lunch in 2-3 years, so learn mandarin and how to use chopsticks as I did in my youth. Your taquizas may be over soon, and you will receive Verguizas from the slant eyes.

6:02 Think John McCain. There is your proof.
The people of the United States of America voted for this. Enjoy the shit show.
Now post the pictures of Sam Brinton and Admiral Rachel Levine
6:09 AM The old Democratic party? The one that excluded everyone, Whites Only? They weren't communists, they were racists.
Ok, Maybe they were anarcho-communists? They wanted to segregate, that's communist, no?
I'm not the one melting, MAGA is.
McCain was only one individual He did not represent our military personnel. And the issue with him was all political. And as we all know politics is dirty.
To the psycho want to be spy. As per AI “Intercepting a nuclear weapon once it has been launched is theoretically possible, but it is extremely challenging due to the speed and size of the missiles, as well as the limited time available for interception. Current technology has not yet successfully solved the engineering problems involved in missile interception.”
Go Trump!
🫡🤣🤣🤣🙌
5:44 AM insulting one member of the armed forces is one too many. Just keep drinking the Kool Aid
Sorry for your loss. Try again in 2 years.
@5:58 thanks for calling me a psycho, maybe I need that criticism. But, you are truly a dumbass. Maybe do some research. idiot.
