well, it's true, none of the other families are complaining? Why?
once again, if you kept yourself informed, in a none biased way, you would be able to see the good things he has done....no other president has done...not Clinton, not Bush, not Obama.....

I do keep myself informed, and what I see is President Trump taking credit for things which he's owed no credit for. Moreover, his obsession with previous Presidents compels him to repeatedly compare himself to them (in his mind and words to his advantage), when the comparisons are based on lies (but, hey, someone told him that, and it's not like he ever checks the facts).

OR, nothing went wrong on the other calls and Trump tripped over his words on this one, inadvertently offending the family.

This has all the hallmarks of a simple misunderstanding, but of course everyone had to rip everyone else apart rather than give even an inch.

Trump misstated his condolences and the family was too deep in their grief to extend him some grace. Crap happens, let it go.

I wonder how much the liberal press paid the parents to complain?

Getting old listening to the constant excuses for Trump's "misstating" this, that, or the other.

How hard is it to say, "Sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask," and hang up?

If the poor snowflakes wouldn't get so offended at everything, they would be able to understand this.

My son is a cop, he knows what he signed up for...he did a tour in Afghanistan, he knows what he signed up for.

the only part of that which has been lost under the Trump administration is from those who have never known people who have given their lives for their communities, and country. You can't loose feelings like that in a matter of months.

what, you actually believed there wasn't help out there....? There is help, but not enough, and that didn't just occur, that has been ongoing for many many years....that needs to change....

"Unspoken" is the key word here.

Some are consoled at being told their recently killed loved one knew what he signed up for.

Others find little comfort in these words.

Go figure.

I must be misunderstanding your point? Or you mine?
