Trump to widow of dead Sargent: 'He knew what he signed up for'
- Thread starter NoName999

Truthfully I dont even remember hearing the term gold star family in news till Trump and Ive been around since Reagan. The context that it keeps coming up with Trump is just fucking sad everyone doesnt see how ridiculous it is. Its so fucking disgraceful to be known as the guy who gets in fights with gold star families. And then on top of that you are the goddamn POTUS.
But his point still stands. Those expenses will likely be borne by the ex-wife receiving those benefits, so the father likely isnt burdened by them.
All this....
Yep, you haven't heard it, because until this dipshit, presidents usually didn't insult them, so the term was never in the news.

We're not even a year into the presidency yet, to make it so bad. 
I agree with the poster in the other thread that it's likely that Trump's just so used to telling lies in his conversations without being held accountable, that he just does it normally.

textbook pathological liar/narcissist behavior.
That is not fair. He said he couldn't rub two nickels together. He seemed he was poor and now with his son gone. it will be worst. Maybe his soon was helping with bills or maybe he has more kids to support.

Congresswoman Wilson put out a statement recently, and I saw it on her Facebook page.
Of course, because I'm an idiot, I looked at the comments. There were as nasty as you would expect them to be for a black Congresswoman who called out the President and got thrust into the national spotlight. Third comment up called her a baboon.
You would think having your photo and name next to your filthy, disgusting post would make people think twice about posting.

America was built on racism. It is so fucking racist.
Yeah I apologize, I regret jumping to conclusions.
My favorite is the "that congresswoman" bit.

I just found out the Sargent is black, it all makes sense now.
Lol
He'll deny it, fake news, etc etc. Sanders will say it never happened.
Just another day in the Trump White House.
Someone mentioned that there are transcripts of these calls. Can they be requested by the media?
Theyve already responded that they have sent the check.
Whoa. Apologize for not reading the whole thread.
Is there a link to the announcement?
Edit: Just read it.
So he actually put a price on someone's life? Incredible.

.@NFL: Too much talk, not enough action. Stand for the National Anthem.
We're back to the NFL. Nothing about the shooting.

Kneeling for the flag's not even on the radar compared to the disrespect of Trump's statements.
Part of his greatest hits.

Here's one of LaDavid's youtube videos. Seems like a pretty good guy.
Very sad knowing he's gone.

Thank you for this. Just made it more real for me as I was caught up in Trump, Trump, Trump. Hadn't had a good cry in a while.
Anyone know a good way to give to these families of fallen soldiers?
I fucking hate this guy...so...much. Like, a truly deep, loathing, immolating hatred. I cant even look at his face when it pops up, well, everywhere (I literally cant escape his stupid fucking mug, unless I completely drop looking at the internet or streaming services for a day, and even then, Id have to not leave my house).
I dont think Ive ever hated a human being the way I hate this sociopathic, racist, fuckface.
If I was the widower of that soldier, Id have hung up the phone.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Over under on John Kelly resigning? 1 month?
I'm going under.
I'm going under.
I'll go under a week.
I say January, if not then, never.

I think Kelly hates it there and hates Trump as well. But he and Tillerson think that they may be the last barriers to Trump completely losing it and doing something insane like attacking North Korea. If they're there, they can restrict him to just keeping it as insane threats rather than actions.
I know that if my boss ever brought up my killed-in-combat son to win an argument, I would have torn him a new one and quit on the spot. If/when Kelly quits, I wouldn't be surprised if that's mentioned as the breaking point for him.

What a terrible thing to say. No wonder none of his kids ever did any military service.

I cried pretty hard when Rep. Wilson spoke about him on Morning Joe. Plus they had video of his wife crying over the coffin... Goddamn I can't even imagine losing someone like that. :-( RIP.
Fuck Trump.

His admin probably kept him away from it because he kept reading... something else... off of the prompter.
They probably typed it phonetically on the teleprompter. Knee-jair

Ballard's mother had to issue a statement to Trump.
Which 100% means he's trying to reach for his phone to tweet-scream at her right now.

Trump is an idiot, surrounded by idiots, and supported by idiots. There's no long game or ruse here, otherwise he would have a single accomplishment that isn't total bullshit by now. The only thing he seems capable of doing is digging in and firing up his own base of shitty people who wouldn't care if he raped someone or went ahead and called football players people the N-word.

Oh for fuck sake.
The Gold Star parents statement is spot on. I said it before too, Trump doesn't know what the office of the presidency actually means. What's worse is that even with supposed intervention by Kelly etc, he still can't manage to be presidential for the most simple of tasks.
"It's worse, they're telling the truth!"
Theyre delusional then. Nothing can stop Trump from saying and doing whatever he wants. This has been proven over and over in the past, and there isnt a scrap of evidence he has suffered anything like restraint.
