Have you been asleep in a cave these past eight years? Obama has been to so many funerals of fallen heroes, children and innocents most of us have lost count. Trump hasn't even been president for two weeks yet. He knows nothing!

LOL on the bold. The rest of the post is ridiculous too but the bold is the most outrageous part. Why would Trump know "all too well" anything that our troops experience. I have family serving overseas right now. And I don't even pretend to know what they face.

I also think it is silly that he announced a supposed "unannounced" visit. He should have visited them in private instead of making it a media story about how he cares. People who do nice things, console others, or who give to charity, if they are true giving, caring people, should do so without any attention or fanfare.

Name some.

Name a fallen soldier's funeral he attended.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-not-attended/

Name a non-democrat whose funeral he attended.

No. What a dumb question.

Obama met with family and attended services all the time. He just didn't trumpet it to the high heavens when he did.
Rightly so. The loss of any soldier should be a somber event and not one used for more ego stroking by a 13-year old delinquent.

I'm not sure if he's attended a funeral of a fallen soldier or not, but he's certainly met their coffins at the jet, and met with families.

This is one brave soldier. When President Trump starts meeting a C17 with 16-20 unfortunate servicemen, he will quickly find he cannot possibly personally attend their individual funerals.


Still a great gesture on his part though.
