Donald Trump hosted a retired Navy SEAL who had been charged with numerous war crimes and was called evil and toxic in a recent report by his former platoon members during a military investigation.
According to Edward Gallaghers Instagram account, he met with President Trump at his Mar-A-Lago resort and gave the president a gift from his time serving in Iraq.
During Gallaghers time in Iraq, as a platoon chief, he was accused of multiple war crimes, including shooting at civilians and killing a sedated teen ISIS member with a hunting knife who was being held captive and receiving medical aid, The New York Times reported at the time.
He stood trial last summer but was acquitted on charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder of civilians. He was convicted of the lesser crime of posing for inappropriate photos with a dead captive after having admitted to posing with the teen ISIS fighters corpse, The Times reported.

Trump has allowed a psychotic murderer out on the streets. You think he's not going to kill again?
It's just a matter of time.
