Moore expressed frustration over reports of moldy showers, poor food, and shortages of hygiene supplies, accusing Trump of showing little concern for U.S.service members and their families. Moore, a war veteran, emphasized that the presidentS dismissive attitude and lack of empathy are unacceptable, especially since Trump has not experienced deployment himself. He also condemned the prolonged conflict with Iran, calling it a &#8220;foreign forever war,&#8221; and criticized the financial costs of the military engagement, arguing that the U.S. is bearing an needless burden for unclear objectives. Moore highlighted the need for leadership that prioritizes the welfare of service members and their loved ones, rather then perpetuating endless wars driven by economic interests.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/wes-moore\/\">Wes Moore<\/a> (D-MD) sharply criticized President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> over his handling of the war in Iran, accusing the president of showing little concern for United States service members and their families amid reports of troubling conditions on the U.S. aircraft carrier <em>Abraham Lincoln<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot only are these conditions, and the reports of these conditions, heartbreaking, the response of the president, the president of the United States, pisses me off,\u201d Moore said on CNN\u2019s <em>State of the Union<\/em> Sunday. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4689050\/wes-moore-trumps-response-to-uss-lincoln\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Wes Moore: Trump\u2019s response to USS Lincoln crew concerns \u2018pisses me off\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4689021\/don-bacon-trump-conditions-uss-abraham-lincoln\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Rep.
