Trump "honors" slain National Guard member: "She's dead. Not with us. I'm not given credit for anything." [View all]

Trump, who is spending Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago, announced Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom’s death during a live-streamed call with service members.

Praising Beckstrom as “magnificent” and “outstanding,” the president, 79, said he had heard of her passing just moments before his address and stated plainly, “She’s dead. Not with us.”

While thanking the 101st Airborne Division, nicknamed the “Screaming Eagles,” for protecting the U.S. border, Trump soon managed to merge his speech with his personal grievances.

“We have nobody coming in,” Trump said of illegal border crossings. “They’re not coming in. Under [Joe] Biden, they were coming in by their millions. Now we have nobody coming in. We have a strong border. Nobody talks about it anymore. I’m not given credit for anything, just like you guys are not given credit for anything.”
