- Rachel Maddow reports on how the people of Lithuania, including its president, honored fallen U.S. soldiers who died while on a training mission there. In contrast, Donald Trump does not appear to have paid very close attention when the soldiers were initially missing, and is skipping the dignified transfer of the soldiers' bodies so he can attend golfing events in Florida instead.

Thank you, Lithuania, for honoring and respecting the four American soldiers who died.
Even as an EU citizen, I am shocked by such a lack of compassion, grief, and respect for loyal fallen US Army soldiers. My deepest condolences to the families of the deceased.
Thank you Lithuania for your grace
As a US Army Veteran, I want to share my thanks to the President and people of Lithuania for their show of respect to our young men who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
What else to expect from a traitor.
dnc+ ccp= traitors
I expect him to be there when the bodies come home and not look at his watch THREE TIMES!!!!😢
@@DaveSchultzXXLI looked at my watch several times doing the exact same thing at a ramp ceremony in BiAP, then I went back to my combat outpost to continue the mission.
What did you do?
@@DaveSchultzXXL Because looking at a watch is on par with playing golf instead of attending the dignified transfer of 4 US soldiers? Your reply is pathetic.
@@DaveSchultzXXL No he's busy playing golf.
THIS is an ally. THIS is an honorable ally. Thank you Lithuania. To the families who lost love ones, they are heroes. They were recognized by honorable people. Ny heart goes out to you.
Thank you Lithuania
America could take a lesson from this and become an ally again.
Any american service member is here clearly shown again the total lack of respect and love for his country of Trump.
Andddddddd lithuania gets a tariff!
Donnie boy does not offer any tribute to anyone that has died for keeping our country safe. Donnie boy was a draft dodger and proud of it
You're so edgy when you call him Donnie boy! It's really cute!
The transfer is when the bodies come home and then the president attends, its always done that way🤦
"Donnie", the left can't meme, because they are the meme.😆
@@AntiTDS_Democrat So you support fallen soldiers being insulted. No wonder
So you hayte cops and you love soldiers, huh? It seems you people keep switching your beliefs.
Speaks volumes of what KIND of a human being Trump is …
He isn't human.
@@malcolmbramhall5382 He is America I am afraid. Folks are not protesting, that's my proof.
Demon in a skin suit.
Please do not insult the HUMAN race by including Trump amongst us. 🙄😖
Wake up Americans... You elected a "me first" president, not "America first"... More like "me only". This person doesn't like any of you, but your livelihoods are in his hands now...
Sad when the leader of another country pays more respect to our fallen soldiers than our own president.
Retired, outraged old Marine here, and God Speed to my young Brothers - In- Arms. Thank you for your service. The Ultimate Sacrifice will not go unnoticed by the world, may GOD deal accordingly with this current Administration for the blatant inhumanity shown to these fallen troops and surviving family members. HE SEES ALL.
Amen. And thank you for your service.
I know this is not what you put your life on the line for...Republicans don't understand what service to one's country actually means!!
How about the last administration that left soldiers to die and handed over military control to a terrorist organization?
with all due respect, thats the whole problem with your country religion and its influence on your population, if you would not be god this god that, god bless America and so on, people like DTJ will have no ways t even get in power, but now you have huge part of your population that will support twofaced lier just because he is pro religion/ pro traditional family values which against means that it is all about god and religion ...
I pretend im a veteran, too, so I can whine on msnbc.
🙄Donald cannot stand nor does he respect our soldiers. He has articulated and demonstrated as much, tons of times. OK...
BBBBSSSSS
Joe Biden went to dignified transfers and never to any that was for American Soldiers that died overseas during training exercises.
Then tell me why the majority of vets and soldiers voted for him.
(Because they’re fools, yeah I know.)
Thank you Lithuania. America has forgotten where their hearts are in our government but our people are grieving. Thank you for showing your support and thank you for showing our horrible government what empathy is.
Because Trump couldn't use it in a campaign ad. So why bother. He ran to get out of jail. Period!
@KevinReed. You are right on both scores.
Please explain to me how this is normal? How do people defend this horrible man?
because they are horrible people
Inbreeding
Because they are horrible, too.
maga mike will.
The worst people in America vote more and have more kids than the best people in America. See Obama v. Trump
Thank you Lithuania for being respectful.
Lithuania took this so seriously; President Trump took it so lightly. Thank you, Lithuania, for your seriousness of this matter, I'm saddened and sorry that we could not match your seriousness of the situation.
Is anyone really surprised? American’s should be outraged. Canadian here - how you guys voted him in again is so unbelievable - the world will never trust you again
This is so powerful, I need a moment to breathe…
Words fail me. I am so sorry for the American servicemen and women, the fact that the Orange Umploopma went to watch a Golf tournament rather than show support for the troops, says it all, To the American Armed forces, just remember that your swore a oath to the Constitution ....... and regardless of the Umploopma you still have respect from Us ( Canada/Uk here)
Thank you Lithuanians for honoring U.S. soldiers that died in your country. Although our President does not care, U.S. citizens care and greatly appreciate your efforts and emotion.
Thank you for your dignified service to our country, Rachel💙
What a disgrace !
Yes I agree, what a disgrace..
All of a sudden liberals love America and it's soldiers. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mattyjay8896as well as your God - trump
@@mattyjay8896 people that love America know that it is already great.
@@mattyjay8896 All of the sudden emojie kid lost 100 IQ.
Thank you citizens of Lithuania for the respect you showed for our fallen soldiers. There are still patriotic Americans in this country that truly care about the men and women who protect this nation!
This regime needs to go.
Canadian here.........WOW!! My heart goes out to the family and friends of the soldiers lost!! :(::::::::::
Thank you, Lithuania, for honoring our fallen soldiers.
Condolences for the families of these four fallen soldiers...respect to the Lithuanian people
No mention of BLANK necessary
Wow, how low can you go?
An even more heartfelt "Rest in peace Kameraden" from Germany
Of course, ex-Marine, VP J.D. Vance as well as Pete Hegseth were unavailable as well. Thank you for your "dis-service."
after their total disgrace over signal gate and their lies and excuses once they were found out these soldiers don't need those turncoats anywhere near them.
Surprised? Really?
This is the man that called fallen soldiers “suckers” and losers.”
Debunked again and again.
Trump using all his power to make sure the middle class stays poor and the rich richer such a nice guy
So sad to hear this. 🥀💔God Bless the soldiers and the people of Lithuania for their respect. Thank you Rachel
This should be humiliating and embarrassing for EVERY AMERICAN.
According to 77m American voters his behaviour is OK.
Many Americans in the military voted for this guy and so did farmers and veterans. This is what they wanted and they got it.
Trump is shameful. I feel sorry for the lack of respect for your sacrificed soldiers. My thoughts for your fallen.
He doesn't care about our veterans
77m Americans don't care about your veterans.
Many Europeans feel sad about the news of the death of these soldiers and can´t understand the behavior of Mr. ..
The way the Lithuanian people honoured these soldiers is heartwarming - Trump however, is an absolute disgrace ! This is almost the worst thing he has done !
Wow … thank you Rachael
Over 60% of U.S. Military Veterans voted for Donald Trump who went golfing as Lithuanians honored four U.S. Soldiers who died on Active Duty.
Je ne peux pas croire que 60% des vétérans ont pu être aussi stupides.
@@NadineGuionie us veterans are actually not warriors they killed innocent vietnamese iraqis afghans yemenis libyans syrians and alot of other people these guys work for adventure and money not patriotism
"Suckers and losers" - I'm just quoting...
WHAT KIND OF VOTERS APPROVE THIS TOTAL DISRESPECT OF FALLEN SOLDIERS!!
Are you gonna cry?
You were ok with Joey checking his watch every two minutes after his Afghanistan debacle though, weren’t you?
@@winstonsmith6607 No crying happening - all caps mean ANGER.
@@PC-tc5jemore bs.
@@winstonsmith6607 Bot account here. Do not take the bait, people. It's not an actual human.
MAGA this is who YOU voted for!!! YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
I am glad he did not go. He does not have any reason to be there as he is a draft dodger and a despicable person. These fallen service members deserve better. He shows who he is, disgusting.
Real soldiers, actual military personnel do not differentiate between countries. Even battlefield enemies have respect among themselves
Exactly! We mourn for our fallen allies as they are our own. They are our brothers and sisters in arms, regardless of the flags on our shoulders.
Get him out of office. Trump disgraces our military!
Shame on Trump
He doesn't know what is the shame
According to 77m Americans, his behaviour is OK.
Disgraceful, disgusting and unforgivable.
Tissue?
@@rickvolcanoCompassion?
@@rickvolcanoWhat a disgusting comment.
@@rickvolcano You're going to need the whole box when you take off the blinders.
He's No American President IF HE Doesn't HONOR OUR MILITARY ! LOCK HIM UP !
To him, they are no more than "suckers and losers" - a direct quote from Donald Trump.
well don't forget he had those pesky "bone spurs" that kept HIM from enlisting to serve his country. I wonder how much his Daddy had to pay the Dr for a Dx of "bone spurs"
Biden abandoned soldiers to die on foreign soil, if any president deserves prison it's Biden.
@@rob-timethat has been debunked multiple times.
You may as well believe in flat earth if your going to continue that lie.
He will do this when they come back home, as is protocol. And he will not look at his watch 😢
When Trump dies nobody should attends his funeral
Kid Rock will go
Im so sorry for your loss 🙏🏻😔 My thoughts go out to the family & loved ones 💔❤️🩹
Norway 🇳🇴
How deprave has America become this make me CRY
It's not all Americans. It is the MAGA CULT and the MAGA MAGGOTS, in our government being run by FAKE 45/47 Dementia Donny.
Not surprising. He considers deceased soldiers losers. No empathy.
My deepest respect and condolences to the soldiers and their families🙏🏿❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏
FDJT's answer is ALWAYS "No, I haven't heard about it" or I don't know or wasn't told". He was more concerned about playing golf with the Saudis since they were paying him CUZ we all know that $$ is more important to him than anything else, especially our own American citizens. He should of been there to honor our fallen soldiers!! WHAT A DISGRACE!! We got more compassion from the Lithuanian citizens and the President of Lithuania!! At least he was there to honor our fallen soldiers!! But then again what do you expect from a draft dodger!!!!
The Lithuanian public are showing more respect and emotion for the fallen American soldiers than the US President.
Trump is a disgrace.
My heart goes out to the families, friends and colleagues of those four soldiers. Thank you for your service, from a Canadian veteran 🩷🇨🇦
Absolute clown of a president 🤡
Our fearless president was asked about our four falling soldiers didn’t know about nor t drew interest. To focused tearing down our economy and cutting benefits to our US soldiers.
Trump is a national disgrace not be there a honor our fallen soldiers, but instead to go golf.
Remember that Trump says he's the best ever President of the United Stat. Is it possible he's exaggerating just a bit?
He's the 2nd Worst and now also The First Worst President in US History!
Donny? Don the Con? Surely you jest.
Ya think?!
That is so out of character of him to exaggerate or lie, but I definitely think he is currently in the top 47.
Disgraceful 😢
From Canada....thank you for your service.
He did call his own army suckers and losers if they came home injured or dead. Nothing to expect from him.
La Lituanie paye 20% de droit de douane et pourtant ses habitants s'inclinent devant ces jeunes américains .Nous ne vivons pas dans le même monde .
C'est ce qui fait la différence entre la culture et la civilisation et le crétinisme le plus abouti et l'obscurantisme le plus total.
They complained that Biden was looking at his watch. Hypocrites
Reminder this is the same guy that called our miliary guys Sucker and Losers and consider the Presidential Medal of Freedom which he can sell to his friends or the highest bidder better than the Medal of Honor.
Golf is so much more important. Money to be made at his golf club.
From Poland - thank you to my Lithuanian friends for showing us what an alliance looks like.
Trump would rather go golfing than honor our military soldiers
Who wouldn't
God bless Lithuania.🙏
What a disgraceful man. If you can even call him that.
Infuriating, disgusting, but sadly not a surprise from a person who refers to fallen soldiers as "suckers and losers".
When decency is lost in a country, the country is lost
God Rest Their souls!
This man is loathsome and odious. Also: remains a clear and present danger to our (constitutional) Republic.
he is a complete and total disgrace to this country
Yet many veterans and current members of the armed forces will maintain their devotion to him.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A DRAUGHT DODGER.
This is a beautiful tribute to the fallen Americans.
I hope he has no need for the military to defend him, because if I was them I wouldn`t bother.
If I remember correctly, he let his children know he would write them out of his will if they served in the Peace Corps. I'd hate to think about what he'd do to them if they served in the military.
Truly sad!
If trump is serious about invading countries in taking military action to take back the Panama Canal then Baron should serve the country his dad is destroying. But I'm sure Melania would come out of hiding to stop that.
This very short clip , said it all. You presented the facts without any tinsel ,but with some upright ,honourable, heardwarming words. This is what these soldiers deserve , dignity , thankfulness and honour. No suckers and loosers rhetiric by an unfeeling , dishonourable president.
He is the lowest of the low
He doesn't give 2 sh*ts about service members!! His attitude and behavior are solid proof. He thinks they're "suckers". You just do his bidding. No questions!
Am Soldiers die and your guy in your White House goes golfing. Seing Lithuanian President "For us, it is more than a duty, it is an emotion!" I have teary eyes. Defending your nation and its citizens and another one like Ukraine against tyrants like Putin, is the emotion to dutifully love your citizens and your armed forces. Steve in Canada
Just look at his blank face and the look of pure lack of empathy in his eyes!!! He didn’t even try to look concerned or bothered about it!
Trump is cruel.
I don't believe a word of it when Mango Mussolini said he hadn't been briefed on this. He would have, he just doesn't give a f--- about the military.
Absolute disgrace that this embarrassment is the commander-in- chief and that he prioritises golf over honouring fallen American soldiers...
Coward and chief 💯💯
Narcissists see death as an insult.
I won't say his name. But these are theirs.

@Bishop6-o6p Thanks. Such a tragic loss.
Thank you.

Trop jeunes beaucoup trop jeunes alors que ce vieux débris qui vous sert de président devrait être six pieds sous terre depuis le mois de juillet....
The only emotion Trump possesses is anger😢
Is anyone actually surprised by the Orange toddler at this point?
Stop with your racist comments. Stop with your despicable comments about an individual with a skin disorder. I bet you laugh and old women in wheelchairs. Your comment should not even be allowed on this blog.
he has millions of fans, they think he's Gods' gift to the world... proving that there's a sucker born every minute
Thank you, Lithuania.
This is beautiful to see all the people in that country and the honour they gave to these American soldiers also all the people holding the American Flags in honour of these soldiers. That is shameful that this President did nothing for these men who lost their lives but went and played golf. Hope Americans wake up cause this is disrespectful to the American people and to the families that have lost these soldiers. Those people in that country had more heart in honouring these young men. May the four soldiers rest in peace and for the families who are in pain. God bless you. All the vets and soldiers of all military get out and honour these four men and their families the streets across America should raise the America Flag in honour of these men. Any President in the past would have been there for the families. Let’s join these families and bring the HONOUR BACK for all our men in service of America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So not one American from the administration showed up? But Vance flew to browbeat Greenland!!🙄
Just when you think this 🍊🐍couldn't possibly sink any lower! RIP and thank you for your service to your nation whose leader doesn't give a rats a$$ about you or your grieving families. 💔 Signed a humble Canadian. 😢✌️🙏🤍❤️🫶🇨🇦💪🍁
Is anyone surprised? I’m definitely not!
I'm pretending to be outraged!
As a pregnant democrat man I like to pretend to be outraged over this to make people believe i really love my own country.
@@mattyjay8896Make sure to set aside money for eggs Mattie Doo...your baby will need it. 🙄
@@swimminginthoughts. Typical maga then.
And veterans love him. Who is the traitor?
This veteran does not love him. I don't know any veteran that does. Do you?
of course he did, he has the empathy and respect of a stone - way to go lieutenant bone spurs!
He had to fluff the Saudis' wallet, at his tacky-gold-painted-plywood palace!
@@tvdinner325 and he's a sociopath.
Private bone spurs.
If everybody was as sympathetic as Democrats believe they should be then Democrats would be empathetic too, but they never are
I like calling him lieutenant bone spurs too but I get really mad when people call Biden captain wheezy because he dodged the draft by taking asthma.
I have no words....
You had four words, apparently.
There are no words but disgust at the President of the USA
He does it when they come home. Why do you let people like Maddow manipulate your emotions???
Except what you commented. 😂
I thought this was a horrible systemically racist country? Oh but now you care😂😂gtfoh
I'm not American but I feel so much anger, disgust and sadness about everything is happening over ocean. I am really sorry for your loss, American people, condoleances to the families 😭
