A video clip from the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base circulated widely online Wednesday, drawing scrutiny over President Donald Trump’s posture during a brief solemn interval on the ramp to receive the transfer cases for Sergeant Edgar Brian Torres Tovar, Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard, and Ayad Mansoor Sakat, the two soldiers and their interpreter that were recently killed by ISIS in Syria.

As Trump stood alongside Gen. Dan Caine and other senior military officials, a uniformed service member issued commands and an audio cue followed, after which every military official at the ramp bowed their heads. Trump remained upright and looking forward, refusing to join the others in the solemn moment. The footage does not clearly indicate whether the moment was a chaplain-led prayer or a moment of silence.

Can only imagine what Fox News would have done if Biden or Obama behaved this way.

Online reaction was swift and polarized. Critics accused Trump of showing disrespect to fallen service members, with one commenter writing, “I had to watch to verify that this was not a question of interpretation. It’s not. The other men are bowing their heads formally.”

2. Trump wants everyone to bow to him. He bows to no one for any reason.

[PatSeg]

20. He's "President"

He doesn't have to bow to anyone, he can "do whatever he wants". Clearly, he thinks he IS a king.

24. Emperor of the world.

3. I'm surprised that shitbag even showed up.

He usually blows them off.

[Irish_Dem]

5. He sees the US military as suckers and losers.

I am surprised he showed up too.

The internal poll numbers must be terrible for him to do this kind of thing he hates.

[PatSeg]

19. True. He doesn't want to be there

I wonder how they convinced him to go.

[Irish_Dem]

25. The internal polls must show his numbers in the toilet.

He had to go pretend to be a decent president for an hour.

[mwmisses4289]

28. He can be decent for maybe a nano second, if that.

He doesn't do decent, that's being weak.

[Irish_Dem]

29. All he could do is stand there and look like an idiot as per usual.

[Chasstev365]

4. Image the reaction on Goebellsvision (Faux News) if Barack Obama had done this

72 Hours of non-stop coverage and GOP House members talking impeachment.

[Dave Bowman]

6. Damn lazy pathetic coward has a really high opinion of himself.

[IcyPeas]

7. Trump does something... he gets a headline -- trump doesn't do something.. he gets a headline

Win-win for trump

[Diamond_Dog]

8. I'm surprised the no-class asshole even showed up.

[C_U_L8R]

9. Classless boob bows to no one. Why'd he even show up?

That shithead doesn’t deserve one ounce of respect.

[Danmel]

10. Dignified and Trump are incompatible terms.

Oxymoronic actually.

[a kennedy]

11. and you know me......FAWK HIM, FAWK HIM, AND FAWK HIM.

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[sakabatou]

12. Dump probably called him a sucker and loser under his breath

[Wonder Why]

13. What else would anyone expect of a person who has sold out his country, its Constitution & Democracy?

[B.See]

14. Yet his cult devotees will be

perfectly fine with it. Including those two 'suckers and losers' who handed this disrespectful, arrogant, draft dodging cretin their OWN medals.

[purr-rat beauty]

15. I hope there's a good plumber...

...at his funeral

And the toilet seat nice and comfortable

[LetMyPeopleVote]

39. Here is a design

[LilElf70]

16. I'm not surprised at all

It wasn't about him. Therefore he don't give a shit.

[calimary]

17. That BASTARD!!!

What, donald ? Were you expecting your mere presence to cause him to be miraculously raised up from the grave or something?

You bow your head at these events to show respect. Respect for the dead. Respect for the sacrifice and/or love of country embodied by the deceased.

[dalton99a]

18. He knows how to bow

[Figarosmom]

23. He was probably asleep.

Why was he even there? He's always refused to go to those things.

[Norrrm]

26. Trump: Why should I respect suckers and losers not smart enough to get bone spurs?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

27. This says to me..."Why am I even here?"

Shame that this is part of his duties to console the Nation and families during such a time.

What a pig.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. He hates our military: active, veteran, alive or dead.

31. I'm surprised he showed up. I guess the transfer was

scheduled for when trump would be there ready to board AF1 for Christmas holidays. I doubt he went to Dover "just" for this.

[kwolf68]

32. Makes sense

To bow your head in mourning is to suggest you are sad, you have empathy, you hurt for the loss of Americans. You have to have a heart. Trump is a soulless psychopathic goon who cant even FAKE being sad. This man is trash, total trash.

[kwolf68]

33. Obama was the great Satan

Because he wasn't wearing a flag pin one time. Yet this??? I am sure the MagaVerse will be very upset with their GodKing.

[Kid Berwyn]

34. L'tat, c'est moi

Traitor thinks the Fallen were only doing their duty — to HIM.

[MustLoveBeagles]

35. I'm surprised it didn't interfere with his naptime

[mountain grammy]

36. I'm surprised he didn't wear his maga hat..

fucking madman.

[Emile]

37. Where's the outrage from MAGATs? We lost military lives under Trump's leadership.

Remembering Afghanistan pullout.

[spanone]

38. To him dead soldiers are losers and suckers.

He said so.
