Discussion: Trump Says His Prayers Are With Navy Sailors After Initial Bungled Response

He’s not kept up to date on these things because he doesn’t care. He only wants good news about himself.

Perhaps if staff put this in his ‘good news’ folder (or whatever it is called) and somehow dressed it up for him, he’d have known. He really is despicable and unfit–
" that’s too bad"? What could he have been responding to in that instance even if they weren’t US personnel? I wonder if he just heard the John McCain part of ‘USS John McCain’ and threw out the casual " that’s too bad"?

Until I read the story, TPM’s headline had me worried that trump had made yet another bungled response. The headline only mentions “prayers”. We all know you can’t have ‘prayers’ without the corresponding ‘thoughts’.

ETA: I changed “soldiers” to personnel - never sure how to refer to sailors. Is soldiers acceptable?

I assume the US Navy is investigating a Russian hack. Otherwise the chances of two hi-tech Navy ships not electronically seeing two huge container/oil ships in the span of a few months is minuscule.

Are they still running Kaspersky software?

I’m not a praying person* but one has to be concerned for the folks who serve in our Armed Forces.
Never good to have a commander(especially in-chief) who’s an idiot.

*But then, I’ve never been in a foxhole.

Is there anything he hasn’t bungled? I can’t think of any.

So if his prayers are with them, he’s giving them nothing, right? Does anyone actually believe this buffoon prays?

Man what the fuck is going on with navy ships?

Update: Silly of me not to have known it’s Obama’s fault of course

He also said his thoughts are with them, so basically the same question.

Your “prayers” are an obscenity, you foul excrescence. Incapable of compassion, so STFU.

I am no follower of conspiracy theories , but I would put that one in the realm of possibility , especially considering where both accidents took place.
There is just so much shit they don’t tell us

Collisions are, from what I read, incredibly rare in the U.S. Navy until now, when we’ve had two such incidents in the same area within a couple of months. This one involved injuries and loss of personnel at sea. So it really doesn’t matter whether he was told about it already or not. A normal President would have heard about this from aides, not from reporters’ shouted questions, and had a thoughtful response, not something offhand like he was told an acquaintance had a flat tire.

The Straits of Malacca are a very busy and crowded area, which may explain a lot of what happened.

He doesn’t like people who are in accidents or go missing
