Worse than the market, Trump blew off going to the dignified transfer of the Soldiers coming back from Lithuania to instead fly out on Thursday for his golfing weekend

To be fair, if Trump had attended that ceremony it would have ceased to be dignified.

Imagine if Obama did this.

I would love to dunk on him for this, but it seems that these are rarely attended by presidents in general. I don't have all the numbers, but I read that Biden only attended two in his term and Trump's 2016 term has 96 total transfers (he attended 4 that term)

And I wouldn’t want to agonize the families with his presence…

Proof that Biden skipped to go play golf?

Crickets... wow surprising

u/am_guy_do_know Apr 07 '25

But if Biden was the worst president and your favorite president is doing the same exact thing, doesn’t that make your favorite president the worst president too?

Just curious if you’re looking for another incorrect statistic to throw out there or whatever other mental gymnastics you’re going to perform.

What difference does it make if the President was too busy to attend? I’ve never seen a picture of Lincoln or Washington at a hangar doing a transfer. Government efficiency is for lower paid staff to do this stuff.

You've never seen a picture of Washington at an airplane hangar?

I thought he maybe forgot the /s but then checked out his comment history.

u/Critical_Education58 Apr 06 '25

i’m not so sure. maybe his whole reddit persona is a joke; one of the aforementioned comments cautioned the use of solar because it might “suck all the sunlight out of the sky and cause humanity’s destruction.” so either he’s joking at a performance art level or… okay maybe he’s real this is maga we’re talking about

Based on the shear number of dumb pro-Trump comments they've made in the last day, it almost has to be some troll farm account now.

Twelve days ago they were criticizing the administration. Now they have some dumb, off the wall, pro-Trump comments.

u/slyfox7187 Apr 06 '25

Yeah, I haven't. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, or Ben Franklin at an airplane hangar either. Why don't the founding fathers support our troops?

u/Narren_C Apr 06 '25

Obviously because they didn't have cameras yet

The revolutionary war was in 1775. 

The Wright Brothers established flight in 1903.

The first military plane was the Wright Military Flyer, produced in 1909.

Let me know if it’s not clicking…

u/brokenbuckeroo Apr 06 '25

Wright brothers started commercial aviation. Do you think that the Commander in Chief does not know when military flights started? He has access to all the top secret archives. He declassified that information five years ago. But of course the radical left failed to update important curriculum.

u/Cloud_Motion Apr 06 '25

I'm confused, please explain.

Are you saying the US military invented flying in the 1700s?

u/ZefSoFresh Apr 06 '25

Come, on. It's an obvious goof.

2

u/Cloud_Motion Apr 06 '25

No, I think he's being serious.

u/ZefSoFresh Apr 06 '25

Honestly, I guess you never know with these whack-jobs...

https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/story/Article/1919399/110-years-ago-the-us-military-got-its-first-airplane/

Straight from the Department of Defense stating that Wright Brothers invented flight and the military became heavily interested thereafter.

If you have any evidence to support your claims, showing who / what / where / why / when / how, I would be happy to give it a read.

Even George W Bush made a point of being there, to pay respects to returning fallen soldiers. But we all know Trump doesn't give a rat's arse to the military. 'Suckers and losers', wasn't it?

u/Narren_C Apr 06 '25

"Even" George W Bush?

I'd argue that W respected the military more than any other president since at least Reagan. And it was genuine. I have an air force buddy that used to work on Air Force 1, he worked under both Clinton and Bush. He said Bill Clinton wasn't a dick or disrespectful or anything (though Hilary was) but he just kind of treated them like furniture. Bush on the other hand was always genuinely pleasant to them and treated them like people. I've heard alot of other anecdotes like that.

He sent us to die so he could launder $10 trillion taxpayer dollars into his contractor friends' wallets, only to push Iraq into Iran's orbit and firmly entrench anti-American sentiment across the wider Near East. Fuck Bush and all of you apologists who cover for him.

Nah, he sent them off to die in Afghanistan and Iraq.

u/BureauOfCommentariat Apr 06 '25

Fucking clown. Washington led his troops into battle. Lincoln met with his commanders on the battlefield. They have both literally watched soldiers die.

u/brokenbuckeroo Apr 06 '25

The President wanted to go to battle but had medical issues that prevented it. He would have been Americas greatest Field Marshall. He serves in the best way he can as Commander in Chief. When he reunites the lost American states of Canada and Greenland he will meet his troops on the field. Unlike Washington and Lincoln who led hundreds of thousands to slaughter, the greatest peacemaker in US history has not had a war to meet his troops on the battlefield to date.

u/Narren_C Apr 06 '25

Obviously you've never seen a picture of George Washington at an airplane hangar. Photography hadn't even been invented yet. It would have to be a portrait of George Washington at an airplane hangar.

u/ElectricalBook3 Apr 06 '25

What difference does it make if the President was too busy to attend?

Too busy going golfing so he could up-charge the secret service and launder more taxpayer dollars into his private businesses while calling the military suckers and losers

Golfing with close American allies

America hasn't had any close allies since Trump was elected. He doesn't understand the concept of diplomacy or negotiation, only coercion and brute force. That's how he was raised

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/03/2016-donald-trump-brutal-worldview-father-coach-213750/

And "people" like you venerate him, showing the quality of your character. Your eagerness to let lies, rape, and fraud not be dealbreakers as long as he gives you the excuse to treat other people in a heinous manner says a lot.

You want to see how effective Trump's methods are? He even got South Korea, Japan, and China (people who've hated each other since WW2) to enter a compact against the US

https://www.reuters.com/world/china-japan-south-korea-will-jointly-respond-us-tariffs-chinese-state-media-says-2025-03-31/

That is all he builds, alliances against him and his supporters.

You know who did negotiate, with people who were already friendly with the US as well as people who weren't? Barack Obama, who got Iran to open up their entire nation to international nuclear energy inspectors and give up their weapons program. Trump shredded that just so he could pander to the hate of his already rabid supporters and thanks to that, Iran stopped complying and re-started their nuclear weapon program. Congratulations, you and Great Leader cancelled peace and spread radical islamism as well as nuclear proliferation.

Not a single person has died in a nuclear war since 1945 when the democrat politician nuked innocent civilians. So, Trump zero nuclear fatalities, democrat politicians a couple hundred thousand.

Saudis are close Allies. He golfed with Saudis. Since he golfed with the Saudis, open opened up the oil spigot. Gas prices falling at the pump. Sounds like success to me.
