NOW: President Trump reveals the moment he just offered an AIR FORCE ONE ride to the family of fallen troop Army 1st Lt. Tyler J. Feehan

They accepted, and he just flew them to Georgia

“One of the families happened to be traveling to Georgia…I said, I’ll give you a ride on Air Force One. And they said, ‘wow.’ I then said, they’re on Air Force One…this is something, thank you so much. But they’re heartbroken. They live minutes away from here.”

Best president ever.

When asked on Wednesday what he would say to the families of the fallen, Trump said he’d tell them they’re loved.

“All I’m going to say is, we love you. We love your child, and that’s what they are to them. They’re their children. There’s no games, no nothing. That’s their child. And all you can do is throw out your heart,” Trump said before boarding Air Force One.

At an event later Wednesday in Marietta, Georgia, Trump introduced the family of 1st Lt. Tyler J. Feehan, one of those killed in Iranian attacks, who he said he gave a ride from Dover on Air Force One.

Wednesday’s ceremony was the third dignified transfer Trump has attended since the start of the Iran war.

Overnight, the Pentagon identified the third person believed to have been killed in action during Friday’s Iranian strike on a U.S. base in Jordan as Army Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York.

Two other American soldiers died in the Iranian attack on the U.S. base: Pfc. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, and Feehan, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

A fourth soldier, Army Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, died Sunday following the controlled detonation of a downed Iranian attack drone at Erbil Air Base in Iraq, the Army said.
