    I was really hoping that at least a few of them were just trapped somehow. Sucks

    Obviously this incident calls for an investigation. Normally the Secretary of the Navy would be the choice to lead it but there is no Secretary of the Navy. Trump has not nominated anyone. As it involves relations with Japan, arguably the most critical ally in Asia, the ambassador would be a key contact person, but there is no ambassador to Japan. Trump has not nominated anyone.

    This.

    Plus, the Navy destroyer is a faster and much more maneuverable ship than the 700+’ slow turning, slower running mega container ship that rammed them.

    Something is very wrong with this picture.

    Dog predicts that the Navy is going to issue a statement that North Korea hacked the electronics of the ship, took control, and then placed it in the path of the container ship. Trump will claim that Obama was warned about this vulnerability in the Navy's electronics but refused to give them the necessary funding to fix the problem. This will be declared an act of war by North Korea.

    Wow, what a surprise. Anti Trump rhetoric from an obviously (and proudly) liberal website. You can find virtually anything on the internet if you look hard enough. Only the insensitive and/or tone deaf would politicize this tragedy. Way to sink to that level Denny...... #winning

    Both statements are true. He tweeted about the missing sailors on Saturday but didn't tweet anything about them after they were found dead on Sunday.

    Instead he tweeted that he was more popular than Obama.

    No good. The Secretary must be a civilian.

    I saw it all morning on CNN.

    I am not politicizing it, just relaying the obvious.

    Trump isn't ignoring the deaths of the sailors. He's talked to the leader of Japan all along, and the sailors' names were being withheld until the families were notified.
