Paula Knauss-Selph, a Gold Star mother who lost her son in Afghanistan, says Donald Trump understands military sacrifice better than current leaders. Her son, Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss, died during Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Kabul. She praises Trump for honoring fallen heroes and putting America first.
Memorial Day hits hard for families like hers. Trump’s West Point speech resonated because he speaks about service without apology. Meanwhile, Biden’s weakness emboldens enemies abroad. Patriots know which leader truly respects the troops.
The Afghanistan withdrawal was a disaster. No one in the Biden administration has taken responsibility for the mess that killed 13 servicemembers. Paula calls out the lack of accountability. She says America looks weak under Democrat leadership.
Trump personally comforted Paula on the anniversary of her son’s death. He laid flowers at Ryan’s grave in Arlington. That’s the kind of leadership families need—not empty words from politicians who hide from hard truths.
When the ISIS terrorist behind the Kabul bombing was caught, Trump praised the arrest. Paula agrees we need “no tolerance for nonsense” against enemies. Weak policies let killers roam free. Strong borders and strong armies keep us safe.
Biden’s foreign policy failures put lives at risk. Paula says America’s strength has crumbled under leftist rules. Our allies don’t trust us, and our enemies don’t fear us. Only conservative values can restore respect.
A recent poll shows most Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of foreign affairs. Paula’s story proves real people pay the price for bad decisions. Trump’s track record shows peace through strength works.
Gold Star families deserve leaders who honor their sacrifice. Paula’s courage reminds us to fight for the America our heroes died defending. It’s time to elect patriots who put our military first—not woke politics.
