What do you expect?

His explanation for Khizr Khan's wife (Gold Star family) being silent during the DNC speech was because she "wasn't allowed to speak." Never mind the fact that talking about her son causes her uncontrollable grief.

"this is why we elected him, he tells it how it is"
Yeah keep trying to find excuses for how he doesn't know what diplomacy means and just can't seem to get that foot out of his mouth.

lol someone on my facebook feed posted that and said "DISGUSTING!!!"

wonder what they think about trump

This is the man who has mocked pow's and has little tact in general. While I don't think he was being purposely callous, it is just another example of him speaking before he thinks and not caring to think to begin with.

I was reading an article the other day about whether the media should put caveats in headlines/chirons(sp?) when they are quoting things people say since a lot of people read

Trump: "Dem Congresswoman as lying"

as

Dem Congresswoman lied

without even realizing that they are doing it.

That's quite an outlook to have towards a woman grieving over the loss of her husband.

It was over the phone, which is the only reason that the third party heard it (they were in a vehicle together).

This is the actual Snopes page on this, for those wondering:

http://www.snopes.com/2017/10/18/trump-says-fallen-soldier-knew-signed/

Which has absolutely nothing confirming or denying the story, as it's still presently unknown if true or not. And barring Trump recording all his conversations and dropping the tape himself, there's likely never going to be proof beyond "who do you believe".

Trump tells us not to disrespect our flag but turns around and disrespects our troops.

He's like....literally the last person that should ever criticize someone over "disrespecting the troops", considering the known things he's said to/about people in the military.

no, I wouldn't have because it's a tactless thing to say

but keep yourself safe, you clearly have a lot of important things to say :)

He knew the risks and he chose to serve anyway. He's the very definition of bravery.

Oh look, a Tucker Carlson outlet deflecting from the present issue to downplay Trumps actions. Shocking.

If I say Obama was wrong with his attitude there will you admit Trump fucked up? Probably not

I don't think either of them fucked up with that attitude. There was no controversy when Obama said it.

This is a manufactured controversy, belonging to a long litany of manufactured controversies out of the legacy media.

The job you signed up for is not easy. It can mean long shifts and late nights. It demands focus, and determination, and great bravery in the face of unknown dangers. When you run into that building or chase down that suspect, you will be risking your own life in order to protect the lives of men and women you have never met, and some that you may never know.

But you knew all that when you joined the academy. You knew the risks involved, you knew the sacrifices required, and yet you stood up and said, Ill take that risk. Ill make that sacrifice. I will do that job.

This quote isn't comparable at all.
