Trump was eventually joined on stage by Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) and then by Mary and Charles Strange, Gold Star parents who lost their son in 2011. As the Stranges made their way on stage, Trump made a joke about also having been shot, and how that makes it harder to move about (because apparently he walks on his ear?). It was inappropriate enough that even Noem, the noted dog killer, was taken aback and tried to correct the former president. Once Charles Strange had time to say his piece, which was basically to ask for an investigation into his son's death, Trump responded:

So here's what we're going to do. In the first week not the first day because I made a lot of promises in the first day, we're gonna drill baby drill, we're gonna close up the border, we're gonna do a lot in the first day. In the first week, we will set up a commission.
