The mother of one of the Marines killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan has invited Donald Trump to attend the funeral, snubbing President Joe Biden after slamming him as responsible for the deaths of US troops. Shana Chappell, the mother of 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, invited Trump to attend his funeral in a Facebook post, writing: 'It would be such an honor to meet the real President of the United States of America, President Trump. I love you and America loves you.'(Snip)Chappell has been vocal in blaming Biden for the 13 troops killed during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, writing in another Facebook post:

Bless her heart. I can't imagine the pain of losing a son in such a senseless way. I hope President Trump can make it but would understand if he can't.

Thumbs up for OP’s comment. I remember how the media loved Cindy Sheehan. Now they’re pretty much ignoring this grief stricken Gold Star mother.

I think he should offer to meet the family in private, send a large floral arrangement to the public funeral....and drop a "little something" off at the stone cutters to defray the cost of the headstone, let her order a LARGE one, Fancy, with a lot of carving.

Shana Chappel is a courageous patriot, just the right kind of mom to raise a marine. May God bless and watch over this family.

When you lose a loved one you want people around you that you know cares about your loss. Her obvious choice as President Trump because he makes no bones about how he feels about the military. If he attends, the media will say he is making it all about him which would be a lie. Maybe a better compromise would be a meeting a few days after the funeral, in private. Let her grieve without the cameras and the snarking of the media that would surely come if President Trump attends. I like #3’s suggestion.

Biden's actions concerning Afghanistan would make a real American resign in disgrace but then if he was a real American he would not be blindly carrying out the destructive plans of Susan Rice, Ron Klain, Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett, all muslim traitors.

What is Biden’s madness doing to military recruiting and reenlistment? While the loss of this young Marine is tragic, we may be losing the services of thousands of young people who have viewed the military as a positive, patriotic function. Why join if your efforts are tossed away so that Crazy Joe can give a 9/11 speech proclaiming his false achievement? We will be even weaker than we are now, which is not a plus for keeping the peace.

Every day I say there is no 46th president just a fraud poser and his flying monkeys running Washington. There is still a 45th President who resides in Florida with the real First Lady. I hope President Trump returns this grieving lady's request and attends.

What will Trump do?
Whatever it is, it will be classy, heart-warming and unexpected.

I Long ago stopped caring what the media thinks of Donald Trump. He will be damned if he attends or not. But the fact is he was invited to attend this hero’s funeral. Who are we to say that this Gold Star Mom should grieve in private with President Trump so as to avoid the press. I say give this Mom what she asked for and what she wants and the media be damned. The people who know the truth about Donald Trump know what is in his heart. That’s the audience I stand with.

Whether President Trump can attend the funeral or not, what is really touching, is spite of this mother's pain in losing her son, she knew President Trump would never do what Biden did. And she called President Trump the real President! This is a classy lady to have this much poise in the midst of such pain. The Marine Corps should be proud to have moms like this! A real fighter!

I believe Shana Chappell knows exactly what she is doing. I sincerely hope President Trump will be able to attend the funeral and that Biden doesn’t try to crash the event. If Biden does, I hope Mrs. Chappell can succeed in keeping him from attending.

Poster 13 many, many, many of them join out of a desire for schooling, to see the world and a pension. I've met many who joined for those very reasons. They are ambivalent about America. Some are socialists, some have communist leanings. It's very disheartening.
They don't join for patriotism and love of America. It started with the end of the draft. In order to get new recruits, there had to be lots of goodies on offer.
Hence the woke garbage that now permeates the military.

If Trump shows up, Biden will claim him being there along with the others because they are “White Supremacists” that false blame will cover Biden’s butt in the leftist and socialist Democrat universe. Not so much with the Armed Forces.

She's right, of course. And unlike Cindy Sheehan, the nut who made a career out of hounding Dubya the war criminal, the MSM couldn't care less about the grief of Mrs. Chappell.
