Rachel Maddow Outlines Damning List Of Trump Failures That Led To Niger Attack
It’s unclear what exactly led to the deadly ambush in Niger, but we can say with increased certainty that the president’s own actions may have contributed to it.

Donald Trump’s handling of the aftermath of the Niger tragedy, which claimed the lives of four American servicemen, has caused considerable outrage and raised troubling questions. But what it didn’t do, was reveal anything about Trump that we didn’t already know. Contrarily, it only reinforced perceptions that were previously witnessed, but somehow ignored by his voters. For twelve days Donald Trump publicly ignored the deaths of four men who he claims to hold so dearly. Twelve days of silence proved him yet again, to be a malignant political fraud.
It’s no surprise that the commander-in-chief won’t touch this topic with a nine-foot pole, and instead, continues to wage a war against Gold Star families.Â
If Trump can’t properly honor U.S. soldiers when they make the ultimate sacrifice for this country, it’s likely he will be just as casual and reckless when deciding to send them into harm’s way.
