CNN interviewed a brother of soldier killed in Niger

[SHRED]

He was on this morning.

Then I read that tRump claims he wrote and called.

That is not what this brother said. They have gotten nothing from the Liar-in-Chief.

[democratisphere]

1. The line rang busy, but he called.

[seaglass]

2. The moron 45 said yesterday the letters would go out in the mail yesterday or today and

that he had not called yet.

I heard him say it with my own ears. I had to turn the tv off as it made me and

[George II]

16. That ambush was on OCTOBER 4 - thirteen days ago! He's played golf twice since then.

[lame54]

19. The checks in the mail

[vlyons]

3. This lie SHOULD hurt him big time

But I don't know. After disrespecting a Gold Star mother and father, he got elected POTUS. Hope all the pundit shows rub his nose in this lie for days on end. Asshole. He is so disgusting.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Should, but as it turns out half the voting portion of our country dont care about

patriotism, they care about racism and bigotry.

[Achilleaze]

14. republicans lap up his* lies & disrespect for our US troops

shameful.

* republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Doesnt matter, it really doesnt. We keep correcting his lies, over 1200 so far since inauguration

TWELVE FUCKING HUNDRED DOCUMENTED FUCKING GOD DAMN LIES

THIS YEAR


A L O N E

and it doesnt matter, they dont care. He hates black, they hate black. He hates gay, they hate gay. He hates Latino, etc. etc.

He hates MUSLIM, they hate Muslim.

And they represent HALF of the voting base, maybe only 30% of the pop, but HALF of the voters.

[vlyons]

7. But they sure do love money

And the hoi-polloi believe that their poverty is just a temporary condition that will disappear, when Republicans make them billionaires too.

6. Today on Fox Radio he said he called all the families of those who died.

DONALD TRUMP: Well there's nothing to clarify because if you look at my whole -- this was again fake news CNN. I mean, they're just a bunch of fakers. So they asked me that question. And for the most part, to the best of my knowledge, I think I've called every family of somebody that's died. And it's the hardest call to make. And I said it very loud and clear yesterday. The hardest thing for me to do is do that. Now, as far as other representatives, I don't know. I mean, you could ask [White House Chief of Staff] General [John] Kelly. Did he get a call from Obama? You could ask other people. I don't know what Obama's policy was. I write letters, and I also call.

The audio clip also has him saying he has been to Dover. I do not believe that either.

[vlyons]

9. There are only 2 possible honorable answers to the question, "Did you call the families?"

1. Yes
2. Not yet, but I shall very soon.

Doesn't need an explanation. Doesn't need the reference point of what Obama did or didn't do. Doesn't need an apology.

[underpants]

10. 2011 - Gen. Kelly was at Gold Star family breakfast at WH

[Brother Buzz]

11. The orange one did visit Dover during his second week in office

Back when he could reasonably infer blame on Obama. Dimes to donuts, he will not visit again.

[Raine1967]

13. Thank you for the info.

HE's still a Dolt.

[Achilleaze]

8. Family got nothing from republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

shameful. All he gives are republican lies.

[C_U_L8R]

12. Of course Trump lied

I don't believe old lardass has called anyone

[nolabear]

15. I think the same fellow Stephanie Ruhl did. She started to weep mid interview.

The camera was on him but her voice became very choked up and when they ended they cut to commercial without going back to her. It's so odd to be surprised when someone shows normal human feeling as someone describes the death of a much loved brother.

If only 45 had normal human feeling...

[ffr]

17. Dotard and Fox Noise's Dittohead are all paper patriots

They only know how to pay lip service. They are a disgrace!

[rainin]

18. I don't understand the belief

that "this one will get him" or "he'll own this one". I live with a Trump voter. She won't hear any of this. She lives in her Fox bubble, she listens to AM radio, and she will NEVER know.

When I tell her (FACTS), she says that's my opinion. When I tell her, "no, they're facts" she says they are "my facts" and she has "her facts."

We are NEVER going to change the landscape until we start buying up the radio stations like they did. Then start bringing down every Fox show one by one by going after their advertisers.

If you own the news, you write the propaganda, and you own the minds.

So, no, this won't hurt him. And, I'm in a military family.

Edit to add: Remember when we thought the attacks on the Gold Star Family would get him?

[mnhtnbb]

20. You can't bother Trumpistas with facts.

They don't accept facts. They only know what they feel, and they select "facts" to back up their feelings, which
is often nothing more than lies and propaganda.

[Madam45for2923]

21. Donald is afraid of a Benghazi-level investigation

[raven mad]

22. Crying for my brothers/sisters in arms.

I served. I'd kick the sTrumpet's butt in a heartbeat. He's slime.
