Results: Trump Picks Golf Dinner Over Dignified Transfer of U.S. Troops' Bodies
Published on 04/10/2025
Rather than attend the dignified transfer of the bodies of four U.S. Army soldiers who died on a training mission in Lithuania, Donald Trump flew to Florida to watch a Saudi-funded LIV golf tournament at his own course and later join a dinner reception there, NBC News reported.
After publication of this article, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Beast in a statement which administration official will attend the transfer: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “The Secretary of Defense will represent the Administration at the dignified transfer for the four brave U.S. servicemembers who tragically died during a training exercise in Lithuania,” Leavitt said. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-picks-golf-dinner-over-dignified-transfer-of-troops/

Do you think Trump lied about having born spurs, so he wouldn't have to serve ? https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/02/27/trumps-lawyer-no-basis-for-presidents-medical-deferment-from-vietnam/ (Admin note: While it's not definitively proven that Trump lied about the bone spurs, the circumstances surrounding his deferment—such as the lack of medical documentation and potential familial influence—have led to skepticism regarding its validity) Yes
