I don't know any of the specifics. Don't need to, because it's clear what's taking place. Progressives nitpick every ******* word because they're petty and weak. Even when they have nothing they invent something to ***** about, and NOTHING is sacred. At the end of the day progressives lose again, which has become their comfort zone.
I find it interesting that of all the families that Trump called only this one had a problem and she is a black democrat liberal with an obvious axe to grind. All the other families seem to be satisfied with the compassion the President showed them.
15 minutes of fame?
There really haven't been that many -- like 20 or so, and in the summer, Trump promised a Gold Star father he personally would send out a check for 25,000 to him.
Never happened.
It wasn't until the WaPo reported just this past week the check had never been received, he cut one - then got pissed at WP for reporting it.
There's this too:
Pentagon Document Contradicts Trump’s Gold Star Claims
In the hours after President Donald Trump said on an Oct. 17 radio broadcast that he had contacted*nearly every family that had lost a military servicemember this year, the White House was hustling to learn from the Pentagon the identities and contact information for those families, according to an internal Defense Department email.
The email exchange, which has not been previously reported, shows that senior White House aides were aware on the day the president made the statement that it was not accurate — but that they should try to make it accurate as soon as possible, given the gathering controversy.
Not only had the president not contacted virtually all the families of military personnel killed this year, the White House did not even have an up-to-date list of those who had been killed.
