Libs have now fallen into Trump's newest trap . Attacking a Gold star general in order to attack Trump
Excellent
Explain to me how Trump set up this 'newest trap'.
Then explain to me what his other 'traps' were.
I'm genuinely interested to hear about Trump's 'games' and how running the administration in perpetual chaos instead of actually governing, is a great way to run the country?
President Obama was NOT wrong for not making the phone calls. This doesn't mean he didn't care or was uncaring.
President Trump was NOT wrong for reaching out. This doesn't mean that everybody would find comforts in his words.
The only thing matters is how others react. Unfortunately, when your loved one died, there is no second best. As long as you did the best you could, then don't worry about it.
Nothing else (and I DO MEAN NOTHING) really matters.
The ONLY truth is everybody grieves differently, NO ONE is an expert in term of comforting a grieving person.
So in situation like this, LESS is MORE.
The very bottom line is "intention". Look, you don't have to like Donald Trump, but in this case, I do believe he was sincere.
But that's why you keep it simple and non-specifc. Our deepest sympathies on your loss...he was a hero and you are heros.....God Bless...done.
That's it. Keep it simple.
For the record, I lost a child.....I've been there when people saying well meaning things. And I learned well to keep it simple with offering my sympathy, to listen, a hug....but no more.

I don't think it is that complicated.
well, maybe keep it simple works for you, all I am saying is that Gen Kelly wasn't wrong, either. Different people find comforts in different words because we are all different in our grief and personal struggle.
Maybe you all should move on, just accept the fact that Kelly and Trump meant well.
Plus, traumatic grief is not the same as a "normal" (for lack of a better word) grief. When my 25 year old best friend died in combat, I didn't sleep for 3 days and all I did was crying. I don't think I have ever experienced a pain like that. When my grandpa died, I thought my life was over; (but I didn't cry much because I kind of expected his death. I just felt numb) when my boyfriend committed suicide, I blamed myself. All three grief are different. I found comfort in different things.

lilyflower and moneill I think you are both right. Can't rep either of you unfortunately.
I do think both Kelly and Trump meant well. I don't think even Trump deliberately meant upset in this particular case.
The problem is that Trump just doesn't have the aptitude for doing this sort of thing. He's proven time and time again that he just doesn't have the emotional intelligence to handle these situations without saying something inappropriate or saying something in a blundering way.
He should never be allowed to make these sorts of phone calls in future. Now these phone calls are always going to carry with them the baggage of this incident with them. People who have just lost someone don't need this sort of distraction. They should assign the task to someone else.
The Congresswoman told the truth, which ironically is substantiated by Kelly's comments. There was no need to address her - deal with the fact that Trump is a liar.

I can accept that and do agree with you.
President Trump isn’t a simpleton, he just talks like one. If you were to market Donald Trump’s vocabulary as a toy, it would resemble a small box of Lincoln Logs.
No matter what others say, I believe president Trump meant well. IN THIS CASE, he was trying to do the right thing.
Lol the Dems keep sinking into Trumps newest trap. Attacking a Gold Star father
