The narcissist in chief is too busy obsessing about ‘fake news’ and his personal scandals to acknowledge the death of Army specialist Gabriel Conde.

Withholding danger pay from troops in Niger makes it painfully clear that Trump doesn’t care about the well-being of the nation’s service members.

More than a month after four American soldiers were ambushed and killed in Niger, the U.S. military recovered “additional human remains” that it has now identified as belonging to Army Sgt. La David Johnson. The gruesome discovery is the latest in an ongoing cascade of revelations about the fateful attack. Florida Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson, […]

New horrifying details are emerging about what was done to the four American soldiers sent on a doomed and deadly mission in Niger last month. The Guardian reports that eyewitnesses are now speaking up about the bloody battle. The paper notes that the evidence “suggests that soldiers ambushed in Niger last month faced an overwhelming and […]

New revelations about the deadly ISIS ambush that killed four American soldiers last month in Niger raise new questions about why Donald Trump seems so determined the ignore the military operation. And why he refuses, as commander in chief, to take responsibility for the failed raid. The Pentagon originally described the joint American-Nigerien mission as […]

Donald Trump doesn’t want people paying close attention to the deadly, ISIS-led ambush that killed four U.S. troops this month in Niger, which is why for weeks he refused to even mention the terror attack, or to reference “radical Islamic terror.” Now, as more details emerge about the failed mission, it’s becoming clear why Trump […]

Donald Trump is trying to run away from his responsibilities and his role in authorizing the doomed Niger raid that led to four American soldiers being murdered. As he prioritizes his own political fortunes over American lives, one of the leading voices demanding answers has had her life threatened. The Miami Herald reports that Rep. […]

Donald Trump said that “his” generals are to blame for the four American soldiers who were killed in Niger, operating under his orders. Trump’s cowardice ignores his role as commander in chief of the U.S. military and attempts to pass the buck for the results of his leadership. In an impromptu question and answer session […]

A survivor of the doomed Niger mission where four American soldiers were murdered wants the world to know about the heroic actions of Army Sgt. La David Johnson. “The guy is a true war hero,” the survivor told ABC News. “I really want his wife and kids to know that.” The details of the slain […]

Fox News, Donald Trump’s quasi-official propaganda outlet, wants Americans to stop asking questions about the botched mission Trump authorized that led to the murder of four American soldiers. The doomed raid in Niger has been at the top of minds across the country, especially after Trump decided to attack the widow of Army Sgt. La […]

Nearly three weeks after four U.S. Special Forces troops were killed by ISIS gunmen during an ambush in Niger, Donald Trump has steadfastly refused to knowledge the terrorist attacks, and has refused to denounce “radical Islamic terror” at the root of the assault. Trump’s silence stands in sharp contrast to his 2016 campaign when he […]

Donald Trump refused to answer multiple questions from the media on the botched operation in Niger he authorized that led to four American soldiers being killed. Trump, who has usually relished the opportunity to speak his mind, was uncharacteristically silent hours after using his Twitter account to attack a Gold Star widow. Myeshia Johnson told […]

Mike Pence told an audience of veterans and Gold Star families that the Trump administration would provide deployed military the “support” they need to confront America’s enemies, but that isn’t what happened to the four soldiers murdered in Niger. Pence was speaking at an event commemorating the 34th anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Marine […]

Branding Donald Trump a liar on national television, Myeshia Johnson confirmed that when the president belatedly reached out to her about the death of husband, Army Sgt. La David Johnson, he insisted that Johnson “knew what he signed up for.” Trump’s comments were deeply insulting to the family. “It made me cry,” Myeshia told George […]

Donald Trump’s penchant on the campaign trail for slapping childish nicknames on anyone he dislikes didn’t disappear even once he began occupying the Oval Office. To “Crooked Hillary” and “Little Marco” and “Lyin’ Ted,” we can now add “Wacky Congresswoman Wilson” as Trump’s latest attempt to demean someone who challenges him. Florida Democratic Rep. Frederica […]

Donald Trump has never shown the military proper respect. Whether claiming Republican Sen. John McCain is not a war hero because he was captured, sneering at the sacrifices and very identity of Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, or pocketing a veteran’s Purple Heart, Trump cannot be counted on to do right by the troops, […]

As grieving family members and friends say their final goodbyes to a fallen soldier, the commander in chief will spend the day at his golf resort.

Army Sgt. La David Johnson will be laid to rest today in Hollywood, Florida, more than two weeks after he was killed in an ISIS-led ambush in Niger. He was one of four Army Special Forces troops killed on Oct. 4, following what was described as a “massive intelligence failure.” On a day when the […]

Republicans who obsessively probed the attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi have been silent on the raid authorized by Donald Trump, against military warnings, where four American soldiers were killed in an ambush thought to be led by ISIS. Of the seven Republicans who were on the Select Committee on Benghazi, five remain: Reps. Susan […]

The four American soldiers who were slain in Niger were sent into harm’s way on Donald Trump’s orders, even though the military had made clear that there was not adequate support in the area. The L.A. Times reports that “for months before the ambush” the military had requested the presence of drones, other surveillance aircraft, […]

The White House continues its nasty attack campaign against Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson, with press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders mocking the congresswoman as “all hat, no cattle.” Now, more family members of fallen Army Sgt. La David Johnson are voicing their anger at how Donald Trump has treated the soldier and his relatives, criticizing Trump for the […]

Ever since Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson released the details of Donald Trump’s callous, insulting phone call in which he told bereaved, pregnant Army wife Myeshia Johnson that her husband “signed up” to die, she has become a target for Trump and his right-wing allies, even receiving death threats. Fox News in particular has savaged Wilson. […]

Donald Trump sent in a private aviation contractor — instead of the U.S. military — to evacuate four soldiers killed in action in Niger, according to a troubling new report. Even more disturbing, the body of Sgt. La David Johnson was reportedly left behind when the bodies of the three other soldiers were retrieved from the scene. […]

The desperate White House campaign to defend Donald Trump’s horrific treatment of a grieving family turned even more shocking and upsetting on Thursday. Chief of staff John Kelly made a rare appearance at the daily White House press briefing to launch an extensive and vicious attack on Rep. Frederica Wilson, a long-time friend and mentor […]

Only by monumentally screwing up his belated effort to reach out to families of the four U.S. troops killed by ISIS during a raid in Niger has Donald Trump been able to obscure one of the more stunning aspects surrounding his callous behavior: the fact that he went golfing five times before he ever got […]

A growing number of congressional members are demanding answers about the ISIS-led ambush in Niger that claimed the lives of four American troops on Oct. 4. “This could turn out to be another Benghazi,” Rep. Frederica Wilson told CNN Tuesday night. “I have asked for an investigation. And I’m expecting a classified briefing when I […]
