Looking for story about Trump waiting with husband of deceased wife
24 Mar 2026

Posted on 03/24/2026 11:17:36 AM PDT by rey

I’m trying to locate an article concerning President Trump in his first term waiting with a widower whose wife was killed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The plane was delayed a couple of hours, and the president stayed with the husband to receive his wife’s casket.

It was a very nice and favorable piece in which the President showed a great deal of compassion, which is why I cannot locate it via the usual search engines.

Can anyone help me locate this story, please?

<<>> Trump came to Dover after my wife was killed fighting ISIS. He absolutely respects our service. ~~ I’d never met a president before Donald Trump. His empathy and thoughtfulness on one of the worst days of my life won my gratitude.

Contrast the respect and honor President Trump shows our fallen heroes with how Biden was looking at his watch waiting for this thing to be over.

 

The fact-checkers want to tell you that Joe Biden never looked at his watch  at the dignified transfer at Dover. Can they explain what this picture of Joe  Biden looking at his

A wonderful story. I’m glad you asked.

I’m always interested in links to Trump as a good man stories to spread around. Any other stories, anyone?

There are a lot of variations of that pose, when angina (heart disease) takes a bigger chunk out of your breath than you were expecting. I’m sorry he survived it.
