A California Gold Star mother whose Marine son died in a terror attack outside Kabul’s international airport last month has invited former President Donald Trump to her son’s funeral, calling him “the real president.”

Shana Chappell’s son Kareem Nikoui was one of 13 American service members killed in the bomb blast on Aug. 26. In a Facebook post, Chappell wrote, “I would love if somehow my President (you Mr. Trump) could be present as i lay my Beautiful baby boy Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui to rest.”
