Thread: Trump Cares About Troops More Than Obama

    Arrow Trump Cares About Troops More Than Obama

    A reporter asked Trump yesterday why Trump had not commented on the US troops killed in Niger on October 4. Trump responded that it just so happened that the letters had been written -- a good leader knows when to use passive voice -- and Trump was planning to mail them last night. Trump added that Obama hardly ever contacted the families of fallen soldiers, which set off all kinds of heated tweets yesterday.

    I'm starting to think Trump might have some kind of grudge against Obama.

    President Trump said Tuesday that anyone with questions of whether former President Barack Obama called the families of fallen service members can ask White House chief of staff John Kelly if he received a phone call from Obama.

    "I think I've called every family of someone who's died," Trump told Fox News radio host Brian Kilmeade. "As far as other representatives, I don't know. You could ask Gen. Kelly, did he get a call from Obama?"

    Trump first claimed Monday his predecessors, including Obama, didn't call the families of service members who are killed in action, but then said he was told Obama "didn't often" make phone calls.

    The president, though, said Tuesday he has called "virtually everybody" and said he plans to call the family members of four U.S. soldiers killed in Niger this month.

    Trump also said he has written letters to their families, which he will send in the coming days. Trump's comments Monday were the first remarks he made about the deaths, which had occurred Oct. 4. He was asked specifically why he hadn't commented on the deaths, but instead criticized his predecessors for not doing what he does.
    There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.

    What in the Sam Hill?!!! Another Gold Star family is having a public dispute with Trump. It's not Khizr Khan this time.






    The president was reacting to a Florida congresswoman saying the family of Sgt. La David T. Johnson was “astonished” by that remark during a phone call from Trump on Tuesday. Trump said he has “proof” that the conversation did not happen as recounted by Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (D.) He did not elaborate, but the claim again raised questions about whether the president tapes calls and conversations.

    Wilson told MSNBC on Wednesday that Johnson's widow, Myeshia, was shaken by the exchange.

    “She was crying the whole time, and when she hung up the phone, she looked at me and said, ‘He didn’t even remember his name.’ That’s the hurting part.”

    Did Trump just say that he taped the conversation?



    Also, you should Google Sam Hill.

    Do you care about anything other than politics? I don't think I've ever seen you have a personal conversation with anyone or start a thread outside of the political folder. What are you hobbies outside of politics?

    One hobby is enough! You should work and have just one hobby. More than that would be gluttonous.

    I hope you didn't think this was over. It's not, not by a long shot. Trump was tweeting about it this morning hours before you woke up.

    President Trump on Saturday took fresh aim on Twitter at the “wacky” Florida congresswoman who criticized him over a military condolence call, stoking a controversy that has dogged his presidency for nearly a week, with many questions still unanswered.

    The president’s tweet was the latest volley in a White House effort to discredit Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (D-Fla.), a friend of the family of one of four service members killed in an ambush in Niger. And it came on the day that hundreds of people streamed to a church in suburban Fort Lauderdale for the funeral of the soldier, Sgt. La David Johnson.
