So much for these clowns pretending they're the ones who respect the members of our military. As we already discussed here, things are going badly for our troops deployed in Trump's illegal Iran war:

One can only imagine how utterly Donald Trump and Whiskey Pete Hegseth have failed the sailors and Marines aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln so as to cause multiple troops to throw themselves overboard in a desperate effort to end their horrific deployment.

But that is how low morale has sunk on the Lincoln. The deployment began on November 21 and was supposed to end in May. But thanks to Donald Trump’s misbegotten war that he can’t figure out how to get out of, the deployment has been extended indefinitely, according to Military Times.

“The Navy has not given a precise number of service members who have attempted to go overboard or harm themselves,” The Daily Beast reported, but “the partners of sailors onboard the ship have spoken of multiple incidents of service members attempting to take their own lives.”

Dear Leader was asked about the situation this Friday, and here was his response:

President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed claims that families of service members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have concerns about conditions aboard the aircraft carrier, which has been deployed for nearly nine months supporting operations in the Middle East.

Instead, Trump claimed the ship’s lengthy deployment had in fact not been long enough.

“No, they’re not,” Trump said when asked by reporters at Joint Base Andrews about relatives of those aboard the ship expressing worry about mental health and living conditions for their relatives.

He said the Lincoln was moving out of the region soon, and would be replaced by “another, very similar, ship.” But asked whether the Lincoln’s eight-and-a-half months at sea was too long, Trump claimed the opposite was true.

“No, no, no. Not nearly long enough,” he said before turning abruptly to board Air Force One.
