Donald Trump Ripped for Behavior at Dignified Transfer: ‘Take Your (Expletive) Hat Off’
President Trump faced backlash for saluting with a white hat during the dignified transfer of six soldiers killed in an Iranian drone strike, drawing criticism from political figures.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President JD Vance attended a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, where an Army carry team moved cases returning six U.S. service members killed in an Iranian drone strike.
- The six soldiers served with the 103rd Sustainment Command, an Army Reserve unit out of Iowa, and were killed when a drone struck a tactical operations center at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait.
- Photographs showed Trump standing with his head unbowed during the ceremony while wearing a white ball cap with gold "USA" lettering and "45-47" on the side, drawing criticism.
- The president's attire drew criticism: Michael Steele called 'This fool has ABSOLUTELY no sense of dignity or appreciation for the moment', and Newsom's Press Office said 'Take your hat off, you disgusting little man.' during Fox News' apology Sunday.
- The families of the six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers watched as their loved ones were brought home during the transfer, and Trump called it 'a very sad day' while saying 'Based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran'.
