TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

None of the water Trump ordered released is anywhere near Los Angeles. It was actually water being reserved for Central Valley farmers, whose fields are now at risk of flooding. This cohort overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
