The Digester

President Trump used an image from a Dover AFB dignified transfer to promote a paid newsletter and solicit donations through Never Surrender Inc., prompting widespread criticism as U.S. casualties mount in the conflict with Iran.

Trump emailed supporters using a photo of him saluting a coffin at Dover Air Force Base to promote a paid "National Security Briefing" membership.
The email linked to Never Surrender Inc. and asked supporters to contribute up to $1,000 and beyond to support the MAGA agenda.
Trump was wearing a white, gold-embroidered "USA" baseball cap during the transfer that is sold on his merch site for $55.
Six flag-draped coffins arrived at Dover for service members killed in U.S. operations tied to the Iran conflict.
Since Operation Epic Fury began on February 28, 13 U.S. service members have been killed and about 140 injured, while more than 1,300 civilians have been reported killed in Iran.
The fundraising message drew criticism from politicians and commentators across the political spectrum, including Gavin Newsom, Ruben Gallego, Pat Ryan, Tommy Vietor, and former GOP congressman Joe Walsh.
