Trump replied "MAYBE" when asked if he's commemorate or console the families of the soldiers he got killed

Trump couldn’t give a clear answer on whether he’d commemorate the American servicemembers killed in his surprise war against Iran.

When asked by the Daily Mail on Sunday whether he would appear at the dignified transfer of remains at the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware or invite the families of the three U.S. soldiers killed during “Operation Epic Fury” to the White House, the 79-year-old self-described “Peace President” said, “Maybe.”

And you're right.

His "maybe" is a variation of any time he's asked for a delivery date, like his "big beautiful healthcare plan"...

"...IN TWO WEEKS..."

Then he floods the zone and people stop asking.

He won't do it for no other reasons than he doesn't care, and doesn't want to.

We've got interesting times ahead...the Midterms, and 2028.

I think he realizes how much the country, outside of his 33% cult, wants America back.

And of course, he'll do everything he can think of to block it.

I just have this gut feeling that the will of the American people is going to stronger than any stunts he'll attempt to pull.
