    Worse than Benghazi. He was not interested enough to keep up with the situation.
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    As a team of elite U.S. commandos found themselves under unexpectedly heavy fire in a remote Yemeni village last month, eight time zones away, their commander in chief was not in the Situation Room.

    It’s unclear what he, personally, was doing. But his Twitter account was busy promoting an upcoming appearance on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

    “I will be interviewed by @TheBrodyFile on @CBNNews tonight at 11pm. Enjoy!” read a tweet from President Donald Trump’s personal account on Saturday, Jan. 28.

    Whether it was Trump himself or an aide who sent out that tweet at 5:50 p.m. ― about half an hour into a firefight that cost a Navy SEAL his life ― cannot be determined from the actual tweets, and the White House isn’t saying. Likewise, it’s not clear who deleted the tweet some 20 minutes later, or why the new president, just a week on the job, chose not to directly monitor the first high-risk military operation on his watch.

    The CBN interview did not actually air until the following night, Jan. 29, and Trump or an aide may have realized the error and deleted the tweet for that reason. Alternatively, Trump or an aide might have realized that the Yemen operation was going badly and deleted the tweet to avoid looking callous. The tweet appears to have been sent via an iPhone, not via Android. Tweets sent from an iPhone are generally from the president’s staff, often taking his dictation, while tweets sent by Android are usually composed by Trump himself.

    I read that he was in bed during the mission. I don't believe it, but that's what I had read.

    I don't make baseless accusations slandering people. Another Christian willing to accept lies to slander a political rival.

    Republicans first, Christians second. That seems to be the vibe around here these days.

    i think that MOST of the slandering though here has been one way, towards Trump!

    You can say that after we just discussed our former President using cocaine without any credible source.

    I do not think Obama was doing that, but do think that he was sleeping or away, just as trump was said to be!

    Why does it matter? What could he do to change the outcome?

    So why did you attempt to defend Carpro's slander?

    Yes , he could have. And everyone else was afraid to make that decision in his "absence". So , Obama being MIA was of extreme importance and no one has ever explained where he was or what he was doing. They were asked repeatedly and refused to answer.

    OTOH the mission being talked about now was already planned and approved.

    Whether or not Trump was asleep or awake would not change the outcome. It was in the hands of the military commanders to complete the mission.

    There is no comparison whatsoever between the two scenarios.

    Yes, "what difference at this point does it make."

    Ridiculous comparison.

    Not even close to the same thing.

    The real question in this case is what differnce would it have made at the time. None is the correct answer.

    Says the guy who responded to a post about Trump by claiming Obama was coked up during the Benghazi attack.

    Exactly. Good to see we are in agreement.

    Obama being "coked up" or just MIA, as he clearly was, would make a huge difference. Because no one else would, or thought they could, authorize a military rescue, no attempt was made at all.

    Trump being asleep during a preauthorized raid would make no difference at all.
