Trump Brazenly Defies Wishes of Fallen Heroes' Families

President Donald Trump’s media machine won’t stop—even if it means flouting the wishes of the families of soldiers killed in his war with Iran.

The families of the six U.S. Air Force airmen who died last week when a refueling aircraft crashed while supporting military operations in Iran had explicitly asked for privacy during the dignified transfer of their remains on Wednesday, which the president attended.

Fox News’ John Roberts said during the day’s broadcast of America Reports that the troops’ kin asked for the transfer to remain private, banning cameras from capturing Trump welcoming the fallen service members back home.

“So unlike we have seen in the past, we will not see scenes of the president welcoming the heroes back home,” Roberts said.

But while the press honored the families’ request, the White House apparently couldn’t resist turning the moment into a photo op for Trump.

As Gandalf said about Sauron, "He does not share power." The same can be said about the orange POS!
