A Thread for Trump's Self-Inflicted Wound of the Day

[Methais]

Shame that tgo wants to stick up for this loser of a president just because he has an R next to his name. Who the fuck tries to politicize the deaths of US Soldiers? Trump, that's who, because of his shallow ego and constant need to contrast himself with Obama.

Even if Trump did say what's being claimed, which I doubt, what did he actually do to initiate the whole politicizing of this?

“The traditional way, if you look at President Obama and other Presidents, most of them didn’t make calls,” Trump said during a White House Rose Garden press conference with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“A lot of them didn’t make calls. I like to call when it’s appropriate, when I think I’m able to do it.”
Minutes later, after a reporter challenged Trump’s comments, the President said he wasn’t sure if his allegation about Obama was true.

That was in response to a reporter asking Trump why he hadn't said anything about the 4 soldiers killed in Niger, he didn't just start talking about it out of the blue.

But don't let facts slow you down. Please, continue.

Did someone force him to bring up Obama and other previous presidents?

No. You said Trump was politicizing this, when in fact the reporter was the one that started the politicization by trying to catch Trump in a "Gotcha!" moment by portraying him as uncaring. Then along comes miss "We must impeach Trump!" to suddenly recall "Oh yeah! About two weeks ago I overheard Trump telling a grieving widow that her husband knew what he was getting himself into."

But yes. Let's ignore inconvenient facts in an attempt to pretend this is a story of Trump politicizing the deaths of these soldiers.

A vast left wing conspiracy to catch Trump in a gatcha moment. Uh huh.

These Trump groupies are something else..

"Trump is trying to politicize this!"

"But the reporter started it."

"Ohh! It's just a vast conspiracy with you isn't it?!"

Go back to this:



Thinking clearly isn't your strong suit.

Asking the question wasn't politicizing it. Trump trying to simultaneously brag and lie about is.

Asking the president of the United States why he hasn't commented on the deaths of US soldiers isn't trying to politicize it? But Trump claiming that past presidents don't comment on all deaths of US soldiers means he's politicizing it? But the woman who has been calling for Trump's impeachment for a year now saying Trump insulted a soldier's widow also isn't politicizing it? Do I understand you correctly?
