Sadly, that’s a very small group today.

Obama did a lot of good things like that for veterans didn’t he. Oh wait, my imagination has run amok again.

Unbelievable. Just when I thought the press couldn't get any more vile....

President Trump told the stories of these survivors and the nightmare of Pearl Harbor. Reporters got a chance to ask question at this very targeted, specific event. And what do they do? Ask rude questions about the shakeup in the WH.

Perhaps he should get Bulgarian and Polish (etc) foreign press to replace them. The foreign press does seem to understand what an appropriate question is.

That episode still irks me every time it's mentioned. I wonder if a serviceman would voluntarily hold an umbrella over Trump.

Considering how huge it was, it’s a wonder that anyone survived the explosion.

Wife and I visited the Arizona Memorial five years ago.
Motoring out to the memorial, I caught a whiff of N6 fuel oil still bubbling up from the wreck.
There is a real worry that at some point, the wreck will collapse and spread the remaining oil, the remains of our lost sailors, etc into the bay.

Why doesn’t PDJT restrict questions at special events to those related to the event only. After such an announcement, he could move on from any unrelated questions, reminding the questioner of the restriction. The nasty media would soon get the message that he meant it.

The thing is that DJT would never allow something like that to happen.

I served under two Commanders-In-Chief...Nixon and Ford.I strongly suspect that if I ever found myself serving under Obola I would have deserted.

Incredibly tasteless and callous. Loved his answer.
