One thing trump won't tweet about Puerto Rican native, Sgt. 1st Class Elis Angel Barreto Ortiz

One thing he will not warm up the ole Twitter machine for — honoring the life and death of a Puerto Rican native, Sgt. 1st Class Elis Angel Barreto Ortiz, who gave his life protecting our nation in Afghanistan on Thursday
.but plenty of time for golf, cat videos, lies and agitprop.
That 40% of Americans support this POS is an absolute disgrace

“The Pentagon identified the U.S. service member killed in Afghanistan on Thursday as a U.S. Army paratrooper.
Sgt. 1st Class Elis Angel Barreto Ortiz of Morovis, Puerto Rico, was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan on Sept. 5 as a result of a “vehicle borne improvised explosive device,” 82nd Airborne Division spokesman Lt. Col Mike Burns confirmed in an email to American Military News

I do hope he does not make any direct phone calls to the family upsetting them like he did to that black soldier’s wife .
