Trump needs a script for these kinds of calls. That way he could sound like a caring human being.

Psst, think you may want to reread his post. I believe he's saying he thinks she's relevant in both of them, not irrelevant.

Yeah. I know. :3oops:

His forced inclusion of Hillary is still incredibly dumb, though.

I don't know which is worse: when he goes off script or when he stays on script and I have to listen to "This is the day Trump became President" for the rest of the day.

I can't imagine Trump reading a script for the call as he is a terrible reader.

He was also opposed for being a "Muslim, not American born, a socialist...." It went on and on and on and on and on. You people were absolutely groomed and this is why conservatives liked Trump the nastier he got as the GOP tried to wrangle the obnoxious hate they created.

You are talking to the wrong guy if you want to play your "us versus they" game of ideology.
Click to expand...

Thats just a bunch of innane and predictable Left wing talking points

The Democrats problems didnt start with Trump, you DO realize that dont you ?

Since 2010 the Democratic party has lost over 900 State legislator seats, 14 Governors, the House majority, the Senate majority, and finally the WH.

They've suffered staggering losses over the last 7 years and have no one to blame but themselves. Voters rejected their agenda and policies by a wide margin almost everytime they ran on it

But hey, Im all for the Democrats and their supporter not learning their lessons, and doubling down on stupidity. On the same rhetoric and agenda thats been so thoroughly rejected by so many Americans over the last 7 years.

Continue with the tantrums, continue playing the race card, the Muslim card, the Communist card for all I care, keep using identity politics to devide the Nation for purely Political reasons, your'e just going to continue to LOSE

Has nothing to do with his politics then or now. Years ago, he could put words together and make meaningful sentences, and could weave a good narrative. Now he is only good for weaving baskets.

There was a time when he was more coherent, but he has never had a conscious and he has been a textbook narcissist his entire life.

I get that. What I have yet to see is anyone sit down with the widow to get her opinion on the Trump phone call.
Click to expand...

Yeah, let's add to her pain. /sarcasm

Besides, this incident, while appallingly insensitive, is not that big a deal on it's own (except to the family he hurt). It's not a surprise. There's no need for a court case.

What it *is* is just one more of many many appalling statements and claims that are clearly fleshing out a picture of someone with no leadership, statesmanship, empathetic, or other presidential qualities. Lacking in many humane qualities in general.

LOL! No, you're clearly not, based on the dishonesty you already exhibited here about what happened and his wife/mother. There is absolutely no reason why any rational adult would ever believe you.

I find it sad when people spit on the legacy of fallen veterans.

Yes.. you do seem to want to deflect away from Trumps disrespect of the widow. Why is that?

I explained on why it's important... a pattern of behavior that has implications far beyond how Trump treats one widow.
Click to expand...
How do you get that THAT COMMENT "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." is taking away from his comment to the widow? How committed are you to your hate filled rhetoric?

Yes and yes. I feel like I'm an empathetic person but sometimes in certain situations I can come off as saying something insensitive or wrong.

If he did say this, he was in the wrong as it's not the right thing to say to a widow but as someone who has also said the wrong thing at the wrong time, I also can't act like I've never done it either. Thankfully I don't have so many people following me to tell me what a worthless asshole I am.

It's a bit of a false equivalency you are making. For one, I doubt you would be out golfing when the soldiers coffins arrived back in the United States, then not call grieving families for days until you are finally shammed into doing so, at which point, I doubt you would then lie about what your predecessors did in such situations claiming they did not call grieving families, then when caught in that lie, blame it on "your generals". I doubt you would do any of those things. Let's not pretend that the reason most people think Trump is a despicable human being is that he occasionally says that wrong thing. Most people think Trump is a despicable human because of how he has conducted himself for his entire adult life.

Don't forget how he roped his own adviser, Gen. Kelly, into this whole thing by bringing up his dead son and claiming that he was upset about Obama never called him. I wonder how much longer he's going to last in the administration.
