    By attending the LIV golf event at his club from which he personally profits instead of attending the dignified transfer ceremony for the four soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania.

    Feel free to spare me any Biden/Obama/Clinton whataboutism. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of Trump and his die hard supporters fake rah rah patriotism. Some good quotes about the respect shown by Lithuania in the second article though.

    Trump won't be present today for the dignified transfer of four U.S. soldiers at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware.

    Instead, he'll be attending a LIV Golf dinner reception in Florida.

    The White House and the Defense Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment on which administration officials might be in attendance.

    Lithuania's president held a ceremony honoring the fallen soldiers who drowned in a peat bog after their tactical vehicle went missing about a week ago. Lithuanian, Polish and U.S. soldiers and rescue teams searched through forests and swamps at the Gen. Silvestras Žukauskas training ground in Pabradė, which is about 6 miles west of the country's border with Belarus.

    President Gitanas Nausėda and other dignitaries were among those who stood in respect as the hearses carrying the bodies to Vilnius airport in the nation's capital paraded past. They were flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and will be buried this week.

    Several of the onlookers were reportedly in tears during the procession. Nausėda said the reaction of the population and the military to the disappearance of the soldiers was rooted in the country's own difficult history.

    Honestly, I would not want that mentally defective POS anywhere near a ceremony honoring anyone that I cared about.

    In my head--- UF
    out of all the things that a president could do, if I were the commander-in-chief, I would never miss a flight coming in

    would do without fanfare or publicity or news people

    One of the most solemn duties of the leader of the free world
