Trump Offers to Pay For Funeral of Slain Soldier Vanessa Guillem
NY Poist ^ | 7/30/20 | Steven Nelson

Posted on 07/30/2020 1:42:32 PM PDT by livius

President Trump on Thursday offered to pay for the funeral of a soldier found dead after disappearing in April from Fort Hood — and said he’s paid for other funerals for troops.

Trump made the offer while hosting the family of Vanessa Guillen, who was 20, in the Oval Office. A male soldier suspected of killing Guillen near the Texas base committed suicide, the Army has said.

In response to a reporter’s question, Trump said he’s paid for other soldiers’ funerals.

Yes! This young woman was lured out and killed, and she was a very hopeful and positive person of exactly the type we want in our military. Prayers for her.

And for President Trump.

How awesome is that?

There is going to be some furious “fact checking” then spinning and accusations flying from the assmouths of the MSM.

This man is MY President! I will come back from the dead to vote for him again, if I have to....

Trump pays for deceased soldiers’ funerals...Osama Obama authorizes tax payer money to pay for “sex change” operations for soldiers sentenced to 35 years by a General Court Martial.

A proud American soldier.

“Assmouth” is going to be stolen, you know ;-)

Seriously this is the real Donald Trump, the man, to those who know him. Which makes those who call him vile and despicable things even more vile and despicable themselves.

Yes, of course. The MSM is going to get right on it, to investigate whether or not this is true. They’ll find the family of some poor, deceased military, where POTUS paid the funeral home expenses, but didn’t pay the florist, and all we’ll hear about are how much he LIES.

Paying for the funerals of troops murdered in this country is a nice human gesture.

As Commander in Chief holding Putin accountable for the soldiers he murdered through his bounty program would be a nice leadership gesture.

President DJT seems to practice the Biblical way of giving in not seeking attention or recognition of it. The lying scums cannot steal his rewards for it.

President Trump has always been incredibly charitable. It is just one of several positive aspects that the drive-bys ignore.

Trump is a good man who made his mark and wealth BEFORE assuming office.

ABC News July 7:

Top general has doubts Russian bounty program killed US troops in Afghanistan

The top U.S. general in the Middle East said Tuesday he was aware of the intelligence of a Russian bounty program targeting U.S. troops in Afghanistan, but while he said he found it “worrisome,” he said he did not believe it was tied to actual U.S. military deaths on the battlefield.

“I found it very worrisome, I just didn't find that there was a causative link there," Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command, said in an interview with a small number of reporters.

‘The intel (intelligence) case wasn't proved to me -- it wasn't proved enough that I'd take it to a court of law -- and you know that's often true in battlefield intelligence,” said McKenzie.

“You see a lot of indicators, many of them are troubling many of them you act on. But, but in this case there just there wasn't enough there I sent the intelligence guys back to continue to dig on it, and I believe they're continuing to dig right now, but I just didn't see enough there to tell me that the circuit was closed in that regard.”

A murder/suicide also happened at Grand Forks AFB, ND recently as well. 👎

You can count on your fingers how many Americans have died in Afghanistan this year. Iran murdered hundreds of Americans in Iraq and then the Kenyan sent plane loads of cash to them. Only a Democrat or Never Trumper would be take umbrage at President Trump’s Afghanistan policy.

Sadly, any love for President Trump is scarce around here. I figure by Oct. this will be a pro Biden site.

Sorry not to reply immediately, but the thread got hijacked by people having a cat fight.

I’m really proud of Trump for doing this. He does care about people. Now all he has to do is put cement overshoes on Fauci, who is undermining him at every turn,
