IOW, you're going to complain, no matter what?

IOW... the context didn't change.

This is just another way for the left to virtue signal. Knock it off.

There is no virtue signaling. Only an incomprehensibly inept President who said something completely inappropriate...again.

I'm not going to research it, but I bet every single United States president has lost servicemen during their administrations, making them all losers.

Whether in peace time or war, people die. It's just how life works. So yes, 100% of every leader in the history of man has lost people under him (or her). I guess every leader ever has been a loser.

1. It does sound the same
2. Let's see what the congresswoman really said,

"Basically, he said, 'Well, I guess he knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt,' " Wilson said to CNN's Don Lemon.​

So, basically, she changed the context to make it sound bad?

And you're just looking for something to be pissed at. It's how the idiot left operates.

I reckon so. Can you believe we didn't know that before now?...lol

It was a grammatical error, but anyway, President Trump's meaning is obvious when you don't stop at, "He knew what he signed up for", and include, "but when it happens, it hurts anyway". This is the worst case of taking words out of context I've ever seen.

It's a fact that Sgt. Johnson knew what he signed up for and it's also a fact that that doesn't make it okay that he was killed.

As was mentioned earlier, though: don't change. Keep on keepin' on.

Forty pages too late, apdst. I told you what you could have said, but you chose to go the "the mother is a fool/liar" path instead. You know what Trump did was wrong.

You arent sure of ****. But if it is as reported we agree it was insensitive. Have YOU ever said the wrong thing with the best of intentions? Were you a worthless asshole when you said it?

This ass hole trump says the "wrong" thing daily.No wonder Blue State America hates his guts

If the actual quote is just as bad, why make up a different one and stay with it?

Because it didn't change the context... Why say in more words the exact same thing that can be said in less?

That Trump has zero social graces and doesn’t have a single fiber of compassion in his being is not breaking news, but if you’re going to call a grieving widow it better be to express compassion not give factually correct thanks for the cannon fodder.

Add in all his draft deferrals for bone spurs (that haven't seem to affect his golf game).

Amazing watching the usual suspects trying to defend the indefensible...again.

After watching you run with this tact repeatedly now, its starting to become rather apparent that you don't know what "context" means.

No...'others' are ****ting themselves over Melania Trumps shoes. 'Others' **** themselves over ketchup on steak. 'Others ignored some pretty heroic efforts of FEMA to handle 4 natural disasters and **** themselves over a few words by a hate filled partisan piece of **** mayor. And those same 'others' are ****ting on the memory of a Soldier to attack Trump.

Nothing more...nothing less.

Your post reeks of hate, unlike the impassioned pleas of the mayor you claim is a "hate filled partisan piece of ****" because she asked for more aid in the wake of a disaster for her people.

Nobody is ****ting on the memory of a soldier. President Trump failed to demonstrate genuine empathy toward an African American gold star family and then lied about it. That's all.

 

[Manc Skipper]

Any president who loses soldiers during his administration is a loser?

You might believe that, Trump might believe it, but I couldn't comment.

Story has become National News......Makes trump look like an insensitive ass hole...Because he is

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

And he did. There is nothing factually incorrect with what Trump said. Granted, that might not have been the best moment to tell the truth, but every single service man and woman in this country... on this planet... knows that they are signing up to potentially give their lives for their country. It's in the job description. And any of them worth their salt do so willingly.

This is just another case of someone getting their precious little fee fees hurt. Grow up.

And i got to keep my doctor, so that was "factually correct" too, since now we're going to use that pathetic excuse anytime we're intentionally misleading each other.

 

[poweRob]

I understand it completely.

Then it's amazing how you can't use the meaning of "context" in the right "context."

You seem to be trying to divert from the fact that Trump is being disrespectful and unsympathetic, and trying to blame others for the issue that Trump is doing himself.

You are silent on the lies about Trump saying none of his predecessors called the families of fallen soldiers... and lied about that for making political gains the memories of dead soldiers.

You try to divert the attention to non-relevant subjects, such as FEMA. Your misconceptions there could be addressed in a different thread. Why won't you face the issue? You seem to be trying to divert it from the points made with irrelevancies. Why are you trying to change the subject?? Why won't you address the actual points being made, rather than try to divert the conversation? You are all over the place trying to divert the way Trump is disrespecting soldiers. Why is that? It's not like he has been respectful of people's military service in the past you know.. it's not a one time incident with him.

Trump didn't actually say those things, your media overlords made you believe he did.

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 ****.

You do understand that it was Trump who used the dead soldiers as political fodder?
