Earlier this week marked the third anniversary of of the deadly Abbey Gate terror bombing at the Kabul airport during the Biden administrations’s retreat from Afghanistan that killed 13 service members and over 150 Afghans and wounding dozens more.
Neither Joe Biden or Kamala Harris attended the event.
But Donald Trump was present — and front and center.
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby, Trump was personally invited by families of the fallen victims.
Trump participated in three wreath-laying ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for three of the fallen with their family members and wounded Abbey Gate survivors.
But it was quickly apparent that this wasn’t just a public relations move for Trump.
The clip of Trump at Arlington National Cemetery honoring those who fell has been widely seen across the news.
But there’s something most missed… and it’s a testament to Trump’s desire to be there.
Check out Trump’s footwork.
Many of you may have caught this clip of President Trump at Arlington honoring those who fell in Harris' Afghanistan withdrawal.
But did you catch the footwork? https://t.co/SvZTlA5grf pic.twitter.com/nAOjmSKs7z

Trump did go to military school, where marching in step is a requirement.
Speaks volumes about the level of respect he has for the occasion. He genuinely felt compelled to show his respect to the fallen service members and their families.
