This is not going to come as a surprise to most readers here, but this testimonial by Marlon Bateman deserves to be shared. This story reflects what the core of Donald Trump is about.
Marlon Bateman – “Last week, I had the honor to accompany several Gold Star parents to meet with President Trump in Bedminster. These parents lost their children when Abbey Gate was bombed in the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was orchestrated by Joe Biden.
While Biden continues to ignore these families’ requests for answers, President Trump listened to them, he mourned with them, and he was genuinely devastated for their loss. But he also mourned for the Country’s loss of these amazing Americans.”
One hour came and went quicker than anticipated. Our time with the President was up — or so I thought. Many families had requested President Trump sign photographs of their sons and daughters. He then proceeded to spend nearly two hours signing hats, books, and even a pair of red, white, and blue bedazzled pair of high heel shoes! He spent time with each individual family celebrating and learning about our 13 brave American heroes.
“After each family was done, they were escorted upstairs to dinner. We did not expect President Trump to join us, but to my surprise, he came up and joined us for dinner.
Everyone erupted in cheers as he walked in. Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless The U.S.A’ was blaring on the speakers. He proceeded to spend another couple of hours with us and even busted out an iPad to play songs for couples to slow dance to. He even went into his all-time favorite wrestling intros!
At that moment I could see the anxiety, stress, and anger that these parents had carried for so long disappear from their faces. It was a moment of peace. They were there to celebrate the heroes they raised. Their babies grew up to be the best our country had to offer, and they were getting some of the recognition they deserved.
As the night ended and President Trump gave his farewell, tears and overwhelming emotions could not be held back. He did something for these families that the current administration has refused to do and was incapable of doing — giving an overdue moment of recognition and solidarity for their children.
Not a bullshit statement from the White House, not John Kirby sending his deepest condolences on CNN, not Joe Biden continually glancing at his watch while the bodies of their children were carried off the tarmac. He gave them hope that accountability and justice will be coming. Our country owes it to their children to continue the pursuit for truth and accountability. We must continue to tell their stories and say their names.” (source)
Born to lead.
For the first time in my adult life I have a President to be proud of.
Second time here with President Reagan.
Exactly
Yes, both different in many ways. But at their core are genuinely kind men that understand the human experience such as these families have had to endure. You cannot fake this, a genuinely kind and strong man or woman shows up when called upon. I think Trump also sees these folks not as the governed but as peers. We the People, not us and those people.
Beautifully stated!
Ditto
Third :). Trump 1st, Reagan 2nd, Eisenhower 3rd.
Are we showing our age?/s
Absolutely Ike…..
I agree cdquarles. I was born during FDR’s first term and I voted for Ike.
Frankly, we haven’t had very many. None a horrendous and the current prick and Obama’s sorry ass, but plenty of grifters and liars.
Nice English moron. None AS horrendous AS.
My bad.
Ditto.
Trump has to lead an army, he has no value unless he realizes that fact. If him or any one else thinks one man can turn this country around, they are wrong. We are that army and we need a leader to guide us otherwise this is hopeless.

He knows.
I believe the stage we are in right now is the awakening stage. While many know, there are still many more who needed to be awakened before this reaches critical mass, the tipping point to get this body in motion.
A body at rest remains at rest while a body in motion remains in motion. Going from rest to motion requires breaking the inertia. Once there is enough force to break the inertia (the tipping point), the body will begin to move with incredible power, like a glacier. It will be impossible to stop it.
President Trump is the coach. His function is not to break the inertia himself. His function is getting enough of the team together to push in the same direction to break the inertia.
When going into a battle like this, it’s always best to have the muscle labor force on your side. It’s also nice to have a well-trained militia (U.S. Military) on your side too.
He knows.
Peace through strength.
It also helps to have AmVets Bikers on your side too. Cue to 32:30 to see POTUS speak, cue to around 45:00 to see Bikers ride through White House grounds.
Your enemy is: the 90%+ of DC area federal employees who vote Democrat & the 90% plus DC area voters that vote Democrat, blue states, the Democrat party & RINOs or America Last Republicans. Where would you like to start?
I think he knows that. Maybe he’s working on it?
I believe President Trump knows he is a war time President.
He is a great leader. In times of war his title is Commander in Chief. I believe he has been serving as the Commander in Chief since he was first elected in 2016 and is still currently serving in that capacity.
It is great to see him paying his respects to and honoring these Gold Star Families. As Commander in Chief, he would consider it his duty.
Thank you MAGA Minuteman you are correct and President TRUMP has continued to be the duly elected since 2016🇺🇸He is anointed to win 2024 and continue his assignment to lead us!! Hallelujah 🙏🏻🎉
Everyone continue to pray for him for wisdom and understanding and protection, for him and his family.
“I’ve been investigated by the democrats more then Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Al Capone combined and in all cases I’ve been innocent.”
And pray this time around he is more astute with whom he picks for his cabinet and especially his ADVISORS! He needs to get with General Flynn and let Flynn guide him to the ones who aren’t RINO’S !!!
Continuity of the Presidency.
Maybe because he still is.

super classy, brought tears to my eyes reading this
God, what a man he is. A Man among men. God bless President Trump.
Yes. In my book he is the very definition of hero. He is everything Biden is not. GO TRUMP!!!!!
This is the tackiest thing I have ever said here.
On the way to the grocery store, I pass a sign denoting the road through the hometown of one these 13 as named in his honor.
I so badly want to make one of those “I Did That” signs with Biden’s shriveled face on it and bolt it to the sign post.
I wouldn’t desecrate his memory with such a display, so I’ll just vent it here where everyone would agree with the sentiment.
Gateway Pundit just posted a video of the worst President in American history dishonoring a hero and veteran if it is what it appears to be.
Best thing the filthy traitor could have done. His presence is a disgrace.
Hear! hear!
Your comment is in essence the same as the one I left after the story on Pundit:
biden was not worthy to be in the same room as such a fine man as Capt. Morgan…glad biden left.
Is drop dead
Sickening! What a juxtaposition! President Trump a true CinC. Biden a a true POS.
Satan can’t stand listening to prayers
There you go–prayers are like garlic and crosses to biden.
And yet … His priest will NOT DENY HIM THE SACRAMENTS, as he should. Damn cowards.
And his priest may very well join him there!
Especially the Rosary!
I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that it was not a calculated snub, or even indifference. From one moment to the next, I think he just forgets where he is, what he’s doing, or what’s happening around him. And without a handler there to grab his arm and direct him, he’s prone to wandering off. If he weren’t surrounded by secret service and “court” jailers, there would likely be an Amber alert out for him now (that most people would be ignoring, admittedly).
This is how far our country has fallen.
Silver alert is what it’s called for elderly folks.
That silver is a bit tarnished.
What color do they do for escaped pedophiles in the area?
You’d have to ask Biden’s AG in Texas.

Would anyone bet Biden was instructed thru his earwig to exit ?
Are we to believe not one of his nearby handlers would stop him if he was all on his own ?
That was worse then Osama not saluting our military when exiting the helicopter
Did you see the expression on the honored gentleman’s face….?
This rotten bag of oatmeal. Biden.
Many ways to read that expression. My take was that he was relieved to no longer have to suffer the presence of that bag of oatmeal.
Please use another expression, I love oatmeal! 🙂 That is way too kind for the demented evil doer!
As biden walked down the center aisle and out of the room, the crowd stayed focused on their applause for Capt. Morgan. Only one young woman turned as biden went by. The rest of the people cared not a whit what that soulless crust did.
…and her expression was “where the #@% does he think he’s going…”
Yup, I caught the look…..I read it as, “WTF just happened”?
if it is what it appears to be
I agree 100%.
Trump is a class act.
He has a heart.
And he knows the difference between Right and Wrong.
he is staying close to the fighters. that includes most of his supporters in general.

“Biden straight up WALKS OUT of Medal of Honor ceremony BEFORE it is over”
It is times like these when I so vehemently despise those who pushed the “losers and suckers” lie.
They are so silent now.
Worthless sewer bugs.
The instant the video starts, look at Biden’s lips. He’s saying “thank you.” He thinks the applause is for him.
He walks out as if he just finished a State of the Onion speech and is looking around for accolades from leftists kissing his ass.
The woman with her hair in a bun is looking like, WTF is he doing?
people still dont know who/wat this pos is?? well she got to see up close..
Just damn…
And so, in a nanosecond flash of temporary sanity and reason, knowing full well he had no business to ever stand anywhere near such greatness, Biden bid a hasty retreat. The audience, sensing this revelation, were quick to applaud Biden’s sudden act of contrition, leaving the decorated hero alone on the stage to receive our fullest appreciation.
I’m sure FJB gave them 30 minutes if his valuable time ( he looks at his watch afterall) the regaled the families with tales of fires that nearly took his corvette and of course his dead son that sometimes has died in Iraq.

There no fake in PRESIDENT TRUMP.
What happened in Afghanistan is spectacular failure of the US MILITARY. And THAT is where the blame really exists. I don’t care WHAT ADMINISTRATION EFFED IT UP. THE US MILITARY LEADERSHIP failed to operate a demobilization safety and well coordinated. There is no getting around this fact. And this is one of the MANY REASONS, WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SURE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BACK IN OFFICE. The military needs a haircut…we have lives to save.
God Bless America.
I keep thinking about the news I read shortly after this debacle. I don’t recall the source, but it laid out how the military had intel showing the Taliban rapidly taking out cities for weeks prior to the final bugout. It was clear enough that any possibility of leaving should have been paused.
Where were senior military leaders who should have stood up and told Biden what was going on?
Where were senior State Derp leaders who should have said the same thing?
In a nutshell, I lay the blame for that right at the feet of RINO’s in the Senate who fall all over themselves telling the Sunday news shows that POTATUS should get the staff they want.
It is THOSE RINO’s who confirmed those senior military leaders, those at State and many other feral agencies.
And those same damned RINO’s who have confirmed many of the judges we now see shredding the Constitution.
It is those same damned RINO’s who refuse to hold anyone accountable, except when their interests are threatened.
I heard about it before TV generals moved the date.

They didn’t fail. They successfully transferred billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the Taliban as instructed by Obama and the DS.
Believe it or not, that was a successful mission, and the dead US soldiers were a bonus. Because they know, one day those kids may have been the ones that took them down.
It was a non-combat mission.
If you wanted “long war” to be forever, you might try Operation Himmler.
If that didn’t work, you could send political police to kick down doors.

Joe Biden Awards Infamous 2020 Election Workers With Presidential Citizens Medals
amgreatness.com/2023/01/06/joe-biden-awards-infamous-2020-election-workers-with-presidential-citizens-medals/
“For three days in 1965, Lt. Col. Harold G. Moore fought and won the first great battle of the Vietnam War and changed the course of history. Outnumbered 10 to 1, the first battalion of the 7th Air Cavalry not only survived but managed to send the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) into a temporary retreat.
But when a relief battalion arrived, the commander refused to leave. The officer he had put in charge of tracking the 79 dead and 121 wounded as they were being airlifted out had unsettling news. Somewhere out there, amid the knife-like elephant grass where more than 1,000 enemy dead had been left to rot in the 110-degree heat, was Thomas C. Pizzino of Hopedale, Ohio.
Moore would not leave him there. Three months earlier at Fort Benning, Ga., he had promised his men that none would be left behind on a jungle battlefield. Later, helicopters were so full of dead and wounded men that blood drained out of the cracks in the fuselages’
‘I’ve always been a strong believer that you bring home your men. If they are dead, you go get them. You bring them back,’ Moore said in an interview at his home in Crested Butte. ‘I had told my men that I’m going to be the first man on the ground in any big battle we go into, and I am going to be the last one out. I’m going to bring you all home, and if I go down, I hope you’ll bring me home.’
Moore and a company of about 50 men, feeling relief from the imminent possibility of death for the first time in 72 hours, went back out, crawling on hands and knees to the spot where Pizzino had been fighting, and recovered his body.
‘No one thought twice about doing that,’ said Moore.'”

Well, that created some goose bumps and tears. I am happy these families could have some relief, thank you President Trump.
I would love to have seen Trump’s reaction to Joey walking off stage leaving the MOH today. I had a little more than cold anger.
As a now private citizen, President Trump didn’t have to do any of that, for those people, but he did.
Then lets contrast that with how Biden and nurse Jill treated them on national TV during the receiving the bodies on US soil. Then today again, Biden loses his damned mind in the middle of a ceremony for a Vietnam era Helicopter pilot finally receiving the Medal of honor, and Joe just quits in the middle and walks off, smiling like the asinine pedophile shiite bag that he is.
