President Donald Trump defended a fundraising email that used a photo from a dignified transfer ceremony for six servicemembers killed in the Iran War. The email, sent by a PAC called Never Surrender, Inc., used an official White House photo of Trump saluting at Dover Air Force Base, with a flag-draped transfer case visible in the image.
The confrontation happened aboard Air Force One, where an ABC News reporter asked Trump if he thought using such an image for fundraising was appropriate. “I do,” Trump responded. According to Mediaite, when she mentioned that critics were saying he was fundraising off the event, Trump claimed he hadn’t seen the email, saying, “I mean, somebody puts it out. We have a lot of people working for us.”
