So, I was picking a photo from the White House Flickr page for another post and saw the above. It’s Trump goofing around with podcaster and boxer Jake Paul last Friday. You know, while the military is engaged in a “little excursion” in the Middle East.
As of this writing, 13 US service members have died in said “excursion.”
Here are some other events the President has been engaged in of late.

He has also played more golf than I have since the “excursion” started, despite the fact that I am a retired person with little in the way of serious duties to attend to. Granted, I don’t own my own golf courses.
Now, I am honestly not one to usually play such gotcha games, but I would note that Trump has time for all of the above (and more) while still not having ever made a major address about the war to the American public, nor having spelled out in coherent terms what it is that we are allegedly trying to accomplish.
And, really, for an administration that allegedly is all about respecting our “warriors,” this looks like the opposite to me.
