Four American soldiers, initially reported missing in Lithuania, have now been confirmed dead by NATO. But there’s one catch: the U.S. military never officially confirmed their deaths at first. Talk about confusion.
❓ Trump’s Surprising Response
President Donald Trump shocked many when he said he hadn’t been briefed on the incident. The question on everyone’s mind: How could he not know?
The tragedy occurred during a training exercise, and reports later revealed that the soldiers’ vehicle was found submerged in water. This suggests the deaths might not have been accidental.
📰 NATO’s Statement
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told reporters that the soldiers had died, though he didn’t provide specifics. But as news spread, NATO’s acting spokesperson, Allison Hart, clarified that Rutte was only referring to news reports. Details were still unclear.
🗣️ The Backlash
Aaron Rupar shared a clip of Trump’s response to the tragedy, which quickly went viral. He pointed out, “This is an absolutely shocking statement from POTUS.” Despite the news being reported hours earlier, Trump seemed completely unaware of the deaths.
Many questioned Trump’s engagement with military affairs, especially as the situation unfolded. His reaction, or lack thereof, has certainly raised some eyebrows.

Losers and suckers
Does anyone remember when, back in 2020, he said this, Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’?
When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris, in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.
In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”
In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
