    He literally CANNOT do that, though. He is psychologically incapable. Which, of course, is why he should never be president.

    Someone actually created a fake Facebook account in Mrs. Johnson's name, with a badly spelled post attacking Congresswoman Wilson and praising Trump.

    A woman, who lived a private life, facing terrible grief, trying to keep her children functioning, 6 months pregnant, but with all that had to make public statements that her name was used by some person unknown. And of yes, she's now getting threats from True Patriots who know the real measure of patriotism is football players standing for the national anthem.

    At long last, have you no shame?

    There's a good chance the parents of a fallen soldier are going to act out in their grief. Espeically partisans of the party opposite the president who's calling.

    There was a released video of call between Trump and Ms. De Alencar (who is black), whose white husband was killed in Afghanistan in April. That was probably the video the person was thinking of.

    I think it's telling that the Gold star families The Fat Hutt is having issues with are people of color.

    I also think it's telling that everyone who defends him on this issue says the same talking point:

    "this congresswoman, who hates the president".

    This is what's being pushed. I scoured the internet and found no such statement.

    Did she even bring it up??? How come whenever racism is brought up, white people call it some fucking card??

    That's Y'ALL'S card right there! I can't stand that shit...

    It's a simple way of exercising the privilege it is not to give a fuck.

    You're saying people of color have no basic manners? No respect for our President? They have difficulty understanding plain English? Trouble with word comprehension?

    Not sure what you're implying here, but you are correct in that most other Gold Star families who got the same words and same calls received them with gratitude and respect for their sincerity.

    I wasn't implying anything. I was SPECIFICALLY calling Donald Drumpf a racist.

    Utterly clueless and uninformed post.

    Our soldiers are NEVER “sent to die”.

    That would be counter-productive at the very least.

    They are sent to conquer, control and secure.

    They are sent in harm's way.

    Barfo misspoke, but he argues that is a sign of bad memory or whatever.

    As several Gold Star families have insisted and one call recorded by a grateful widow has made enormously clear, this fake news originated from a total misrepresentation of what President Trump said. Not a misunderstanding or typo. Just a deliberate lie by a disgraceful and racist anti-Trump swamprat who had glommed into a grieving widow for a photo-op.

    Commentary:
    Why George W. Bush stood there and took the wrath of a soldier's mom. Listen up, Donald Trump.

    And that was just the first patient we saw. For the rest of the visit to the hospital that day, almost every family had the same reaction of joy when they saw the president. But there were exceptions. One mom and dad of a dying soldier from the Caribbean were devastated, the mom beside herself with grief. She yelled at the president, wanting to know why it was her child and not his who lay in that hospital bed. Her husband tried to calm her, and I noticed the president wasn't in a hurry to leave — he tried offering comfort but then just stood and took it, like he expected and needed to hear the anguish, to try to soak up some of her suffering if he could.

    She bragged about supporting the legislation, which obviously required funding.

    Same thing. She’s grandstanding on the backs of dead soldiers, a disgusting and reprehensible act by a morally bankrupt attention seeker.

    So now crandc is an expert on military preparedness and feels she should have been consulted about the mission. As for her view on what should be said, seems a post card is enough in her opinion.
