fireworks with Trump in DC

[Jim in CT]

If anyone else was president, they wouldn't get attacked for making condolence calls to gold star families. When Trump says "he knew what he was signing up for", OBVIOUSLY he means that the guy knew it was dangerous, but did it anyway, in a selfless act of service. It's a compliment. But the sick-in-the-head lunatics, are claiming that Trump meant that in a derogatory sense? Something like "he knew the risks, so don't complain to me that he died?" kind of a thing?

This congresswoman Wilson, is a real piece of work. She's equal parts crazy, hate-filled, and stupid. She makes Maxine Waters look like Margaret Thatcher, and that's really saying something. Her, Deb Wasserman Schultz, and Alan Greyson...they really know how to elect Democrats in Florida, boy...

General Kelly lied about what she said (and why would he even need to bring that speach up as it had nothing to do with the soldier). Don't anyone hold their breath for an apology.

Was this the "have you no decency" moment?

As for not remembering the soldier's name...if that happened (and we don't know if it did, do we?), that doesn't surprise me at all with Trump. He, of all presidents, should probably not be making these calls, he's too prone to being offensive.

But Paul, a lot of hay is being made about Trump's saying "he knew what he signed up for". He meant that as a compliment for Christ's sake. But they can't treat Trump fairly, it's not possible.

I'd be critical of Obama for mis-remembering a name. And I'm critical of Trump for it.

"She hasn't called anyone a POS like you have". No, but she called Kelly a racist. For an expression (empty barrels make the most noise) that she was too stupid to comprehend.

"attack the messenger" - this particular messenger deserves attacking. She took a compliment that Trump paid the man, and used it as a club against him for political reasons. Wilson is lower than dogsh*t. Trump tried to pay a condolence call, that's all he did. His chief of staff advsed him not to make these calls, but he feels obligated to do so. That's not a character flaw. Trump has a lot of flaws. This isn't one of them. Wilson is exploiting the widow's agony to attack Trump.

"General Kelly lied about what she said". He was wrong about what she said. Lying involves intent. You can read his mind? She made a self-congratulatory statement at a building dedicated to slain FDBI agents. He thought she bragged about getting funding, when in fact she bragged about naming the building. But he absolutely deserves criticism for getting it wrong. And Wilson absolutely belongs in a nuthouse.

Trump in no way meant to disrespect that women true .. but your covering for him again its what he did after thats the issue ..

All he had to do was say he was sorry it was taken that way .. but no he has no leadership skill he attacked

1st he bluffs (gets caught ) then he lies (phase 2) gets caught then attacks (phase 3) and Phase 4 all his minions once again tell us what he meant (please note current responses ) (i cant take credit for the phases but their spot on)

Maybe someone should tell "The Whacko Kid" that down in Florida. Because she certainly doesn't comprehend that.

He is blaming the person that even according to you, mis-characterized what Trump said. You said that Trump's words "he knew what he was signing up for", were in no way disrespectful. But that's exactly what this horse's ass of a congresswoman claimed. She lied, about a condolence call to a Gold Star Widow, in order to attack Trump. She is an unbelievable piece of dirt. She happens to be black and a female, which means nothing to anyone who is rational, but she played the race card, you played the sexist card.

The widow gets a pass. And Trump deserves some criticism for the babylike way in which he handled it. But it never would have happened, if not for this wretched, jackass congresswoman.
