Trump promised absolute transparency. Here he is hiding American military casualties in Iran like a kid trying to sweep a broken lamp under the rug, all while boasting about how smoothly things are going. Leave it to Trump to lie and to the men and women in uniform like line items on a bad PR report. His demented denial of reality won't allow him to tell the public about the body bags. In Trump's twice baked brain it's like nobody ever got hurt at all.

Absolutely zero surprise.

One wonders if the 40-somethings on the Supreme Court will ever wake up to the name they'll forever be associated with.

Trump long ago made it clear - the ranks of American dead and wounded are composed entirely of "suckers" and "losers."

Perhaps that's why Trumps across the generations have consistently not served. It's part of the familial heritage.
