So the wife of the fallen hero was hurt by Trump's choice of words. Does anyone truly believe the president would call up a widow and purposely upset her ?
Sounds to me like the woman and the Congresswoman were already Trump haters, and likely would have been unsatisfied regardless of how he worded his call to her.
Here's likely what happened:
The mother heard this: "But you know
he must have known what he signed up for". (So too bad that he's now dead)
Trump meant it like this: "But you know
he must have known what he signed up for" (And he answered the call of his country anyway)
You ever serve in the military Drifter? I did, for over 20 years, and yeah, all military people know that the job we signed up for has a chance of killing us. Not only is there battle, but training, and in the Navy, ending up falling over the side of the ship, or getting snapped in half by a broken cable.
We all know that the job we signed up for is dangerous.
However..................that is not something we talk about when consoling family members of the fallen. We talk about how much of an asset they were to the command, how much they were respected and liked, as well as that they are going to be sorely missed. We don't say that they knew what they were signing up for when they die, because it's just insensitive.
Did Trump intend to piss off the widow and mother? Probably not, but that doesn't change the fact that when it comes to things like this, Trump is clueless and not very empathetic.
