This is what I don't understand also. Why is Trump writing him a check for 25K when they got at least 500K from the government.

The exwife gets it all bc that's what the son wanted. The dad is a bitter Betty.

trump is so jaded, sick, sociopathic. Another WTF moment.
I don’t understand why Trump as a multiple Billionaire offers just $25k.
That’s like me giving the homeless guy on the street a buck .......

On a somewhat positive note, a gofundme.com for the children of Sgt Johnson has raised over 400k

Yes, it is weird. Seems like Trump thinks throwing some money at people will fix every issue.

I have this vision of you sitting in a retirement home with a Kindle or Ipad reading everything MSNBC and the View on-line posts. Am I right? Because that is what my 79 year old mother in law does all day and she has become just as mentally off balance since Trump won election.

She's like a different person. It's sad.

CYA. Trump continues to make comments that he doesn't follow through on. When later challenged, he finally honors commitments. He probably would not do so unless forced into it. WH is following this course. After Trump stated he had contacted every gold star family since becoming president, the WH has been quietly sending out condolence letters to all the families that had NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY THE WH since Jan. Some of the letters relate to deaths some six months ago. Families are only now being contacted because the president once again lied and it would soon become public. These letters are merely a CYA move. I would imagine many of these families are insulted to be getting letters so long after the deaths.
