Donald (Mr. Empathy, himself) Trump is saying: "Peter, if you'll give me a minute. . . . What I meant was obvious: Obama might have had his secretary place a telephone call to grieving parents a couple times, but all he would do was just say a few words over and over and over again. A couple short sentences. . . . He probably had them all written down, or used a recording. . . . But when I call 'em, I call 'em!! . . . I say how hard it was to call and how calls like this really get me down. But how I'll still be a great president anyway, despite weak and ineffective congressional leaders. Then I thank them for their loss, and at that point if it's gone smoothly, I mean without too many tears, I tell them that if they have a few words I'd like to heard them and give them a half minute or so (do you know what my time is worth?), before I tell them I have got to go and be the president and make America great again! . . . Like I say: when I call 'em, I call 'em."

Above CAPTION based on Trump's bizarre claims that he was the only president to call the famlies of fallen soldiers as reported by The Washington Post:

(20,851 posts)I know I can't believe it either. I voted for Hillary too. Great Gal, I got all her emails. But I didn't call about that. The reason I called you is about your son Jose. Right, Right, Miguel. Your son Miguel in the army, that's why I called. Oh, marines...Your son Miguel in Marine-land that's why I called. Anyways remember when he was alive yesterday. Well, that didn't last. My warmest chocolate cake filled condolences to you and all Jose's family. And remember MAGA hats, shirts, and commemorative key chains are half off this week. I'm told they make a great gift for a wake. I wouldn't know. My sons are all still alive, unlike you. Well, hope that cheers you up. I got to go do presidenting stuff because my IQ is so big. Keep on keeping on.
