Trump Reveals Covert U.S. Navy Seal Deployment
Political Wire
by Taegan Goddard

President Trump and the White House communications team “revealed that a U.S. Navy SEAL team was deployed to Iraq after the president secretly traveled to the region to meet with American forces serving in a combat zone for the first time since being elected to office,” Newsweek reports.

“While the commander-in-chief can declassify information, usually the specific special operations unit is not revealed to the American public, especially while U.S. service members are deployed.”

“The president’s video posted Wednesday did not shield the faces of special operation forces. Current and former Defense Department officials told Newsweek that information concerning what units are deployed and where is almost always classified and is a violation of operational security.”

IF he keeps lying and appointing the crappiest people in the US to "lead" I don't see how this won't continue- as more and more people will be hurt. And if the market keeps dropping, then it may end in tar and feathers.
