“If you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn’t make calls — a lot of them didn’t make calls — I like to make calls when it’s appropriate,” Trump said at a press conference in the Rose Garden when asked about why he had not addressed the recent deaths of American troops in Niger.
Pressed by reporters later in the press conference, Trump then admitted he didn’t know what Obama’s practice was in regard to the families of fallen soldiers.
“Sometimes it’s a very difficult thing to do, but I do a combination of both,” Trump said, referring to calling and sending letters to the families. “President Obama, I think probably did sometimes, and maybe sometimes he didn’t. I don’t know. That’s what I was told.”
That is what the voices in his head told him, so its not like he lied, right?
Trump said his letters to the families of those soldiers have yet to be sent but would be Monday or Tuesday “
(The letters must be proofread,all references to how great his golf courses are doing will be removed and then it will be typed up from the original crayon document)
and he added that he will call families “at some point.
Of course at ‘some point’ he was going to show his tax returns, and provide proof that his wife didn’t break the law when she came to the USA… annnnd we are still waiting…
Trump’s comments touched off a firestorm on social media, including from Alyssa Mastromonaco, a former Obama staffer, who responded with an expletive.
that’s a fucking lie. to say president obama (or past presidents) didn’t call the family members of soldiers KIA – he’s a deranged animal.
