Ok. I get that, I was just curious. Trump is the kind of liar that lies about things and in a way

?pubId=4368278029001&videoId=5542109831001
Brooks was born in Jamaica, grew up in South Florida and graduated from Coconut Creek High School, before moving to Brooklyn as an adult.
This was Brooks second tour of duty in Iraq, and he was a member of the Airborne regiment.

in honor of this family.
(I do enjoy a day when I can tweet directly to this idiot-in-chief. Even if no one reads them, it relieves some stress.)

(531 posts)3. Does the President call every military person that dies?
I get Trump has been all over in this mess. No other president has screwed up so royally that we have had this conversation. I do not know. Are President calling with every death? Or is a letter mostly?

He claimed other presidents did not
These lies are the issue
Army Sgt. Brooks died in August 2017

That are unnecessary. I needed to know the base, though. Presidents do not call every soldier, I wouldn't think. Hence, asking. This is about Trump having to lie about it and people calling him out. Correct?
