Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

Ah yes, factual correctness “trumps” basic hman decency.

pull your head out of the sand....the guy is a grade A prick
 
As was said in another thread. There is no bottom to how low Trump will go.

But no matter how low Trump goes, his supporters will defend and excuse him.

He's a BIG problem, the hateful, gullible Trumpsters are a BIGGER problem.
 
Oh! My! God! This call was made as the mother was at the flag-draped casket of her son, and caused her to break down and cry uncontrollably. She has now stopped crying. Her sadness has been replaced with much deserved anger.

Maybe Trump should stop listening to people saying that the doesn't call the families of dead service members, and just not call them.

This is a much different Donald Trump than the one who did interviews back in the 1990's. This is just an empty shell of what used to be a pretty intelligent guy.

Definitely out of line, not sure of the context, but hopefully this wasn't a tough love comment.

“But Hillary” is literally the only defense you have. The same Hillary you guys have portrayed as essentially Beelzebub for the last 25 years.

When will Donald Trump ever be held responsible for anything, rather than excused because someone who isn’t president may or may not have maybe done something somewhat similar or not? Never, because shills gonna shill.

Bull****. You and all the rest are using this dead soldier to vent more of your hatred...though you drop the race card in to boot. Because you just cant ****ing help yourself.

Embarrassing.

There are some times that the so called 'race card' is appropriate. After due consideration, it is very likely to be appropriate in this situation, considering Trump's history.

I've mentioned this a few times here. I've 'followed' Trump's career for over 30 years. Back in the 90's I heard him speak live a few times in NYC.

He was a good guy to listen to, engaging, smart, kind of funny. By the early 2000's I didn't hear him much, so during his birther BS I noticed a change from the 80's and 90's Trump.. Then during the 2016 primaries it was easy to see the change, he turned vicious and callous. His mouth spoke before his brain could react. Unfortunately for our country that's exactly the type of candidate the Republican base and people like Bannon were looking for, a mean, vicious narcissist.

Empty shell of himself is a good description.

Agreed. That was scummy. This incident? You folk are dragging a dead soldier out and stomping repeatedly in his blood shrieking I HATE TRUMP!!!! You are using his death for political attack. Nothing you say about Trump could match your actions.

Yep. He deserves to get dressed down good for that one. I can only hope that some coalition of military families who have lost loved ones will rip an apology out of him.

Hillary is the only defense I or anyone else needs.

You people just come off a a bunch of raging hypocrites, especially on this issue

She lied to the faces of the family members who lost their sons in Benghazi and where the **** was your outrage then ?

You and every other Hillary supporter kept your mouth shut, which means your fake outrage shows that your'e still willing to politicize the deaths of soldiers for Political gain

He's not defending trump, he's denouncing the manner in which his detractors are attacking him.

I could never imagine what sort of person could defend Hillary or Obama, but many of you people did, repeatedly
 
Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

Your post implies we should have voted for Hillary

No my post implied that all this rage and indignation over Trumps comments is manufactured, just like the youtube video narrative Hillary fed to the parents of the Benghazi victims

You people didnt give a rats ass over her comments, and your still defending her
 
Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

Your post implies we should have voted for Hillary

At least Hilldog would have ACTED the part, avoiding the daily embaresement that is our President.
 
Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

Holy cow took this many pages for a “but but Hillary” comment..

Sorry, but she ran against Trump, and everyone who's going bat**** crazy over Trumps comments not only voted for her but defended her

Its still not against Forum rules to call our hypocrisy, is it ?

Trump should learn to stay away from Gold Star families. He has neither the right aptitude nor attitude for such conversations.
 
Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

What did Trump say that was factually incorrect? But this isn't the first time someone used the bones of their dead child to build a soapbox to spew their political agenda.

They tell these soldiers that they will be protecting liberty, freedom, democracy and then send them Third World to prop up some tinhorn dictator with OIL. The USA military has "fixed" Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc., to the tune of millions of refugees and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of deaths. "He knew what he signed up for." Absolutely horse puckey.

Sure. It sounds insensitive. It obviously wasnt meant in a snarky condescending way but I get how it was insensitive...especially when said to his widow.

But using an insensitive remark...and the tragic deaths of soldiers as yet the latest issue to attack Trump for political gain? Someone is insensitive...and someone is a ****ing ****.

I could see one's words not coming out correctly every once in a while but with Trump it is almost every day. Then the Trump apologists rush in and claim it was "locker room talk" or " that isn't what he meant".

Trump has turned into a babbling idiot with his twitter account. And immediately you come in like the guy with the shovel walking behind the elephant in the parade.

But using the tragic death of soldiers has been used by this president more than any other. Perhaps Trumps has no empathy for the families because no one in his family has ever served in the military. Trump has never had to go the airport and hug a son going off to boot camp.

Lol ! Whats with the collective amnesia infecting the forum today ?

Hillary lied right to the faces of the parents who lost their sons in Bengazi.

She emailed her daughter the truth almost immediately after the attack on the consulate, but fed the families and the American people lies over a internet video, and you people defended her and are STILL defending her

Trumps comments may have been crass, poorly chosen, but at least he didnt lie to her face.
 
Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

It's just all sad I heard the congress woman speak on this last night.
She was in the car with the widow on the way to collect her husband's remains. The widow was just told it would have to be a closed casket funeral.
Trump called while she was in the car the Congress woman heard the entire conversation. The Congress woman was given permission to speak on the widows behalf.
Trump being goaded by the media into making these calls, the bad timing of the call and his words end up all being a not so good situation.
I'm disgusted by the whole situation but I've grown accustomed to it with this president, he's awkward, has bad timing and just does not know how to deal with things requiring empathy, sympathy. The only time I've seen him show true empathy was when he spoke of the "babies, little babies" in syria.
He should not have allowed the media to goad him into making these calls. He should have written a letter.
I'm just sick of it all!!

How about either condemning Trumps comment or defending it without running off on a tangent about someone that has nothing to do with the thread topic.
