I knew that Trump would take credit for the rescue of the WASO.

He is coward who can’t stand others who are the ones who get the credit for their bravery.

“I gave the order to go and rescue that person” is not bravery! Rather it was his illegitimate war that these men were in harm’s way!

Pathetic gratification of his ego!

If an airplane is shot down behind enemy lines a team will be sent to try to locate and rescue the crew. Always. They don't wait for the president to tell them to do it.

That big strong men in uniform with tears in their eyes were begging him, please sir, can we go search for the downed crewmen???
