Mainecat Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Donald Trump Is Rush-Shipping Condolences to Military Families Source: The Atlantic The Trump administration is scrambling to defend the president’s characterization of his communications with grieving military families, including rush-delivering letters from the president to the families of servicemembers killed months ago. Donald Trump falsely claimed this week that he had called “virtually” all fallen servicemembers’ families since his time in office. Timothy Eckels Sr. hadn’t heard anything from President Trump since his son Timothy Eckels Jr. was killed after a collision involving the USS John S. McCain on August 21. But then, on October 20, two days into the controversy over the president’s handling of a condolence call with an American soldier’s widow, Eckels Sr. received a United Parcel Service package dated October 18 with a letter from the White House. “Honestly, I feel the letter is reactionary to the media storm brewing over how these things have been handled,” Eckels told The Atlantic. “I’ve received letters from McCain, Mattis, and countless other officials before his. I wasn’t sure if the fact that the accident that caused Timothy’s death has still yet to officially have the cause determined played into the timing of our president’s response.” He added that the letter “seemed genuine and even mentioned Timothy’s siblings.” It was “a respectful letter,” Eckels wrote. The family of Corey Ingram, another Navy systems technician who died in the collision on the USS John McCain, also confirmed to The Atlantic they received a rush-delivered letter from the White House on October 20. A third family, of another sailor who perished in the accident, John M. Hoagland III, said they, too, received a rush-delivery letter this week. It was not immediately clear whether White House condolence letters are typically sent via this expedited shipping. -snip- Read more: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/10/donald-trump-is-rush-shipping-condolences-to-military-families/543606/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 This is another example of problems erupting due to trump making shit up to prop up his ego. If he could get a handle on that he may not be such a bad guy or even bad president. But as it stands now he creates so much chaos and hard feelings that very little will get accomplished. He’s even losing key people in his own party. I’m amazed that man like kelly has sold out to this guy. Trump is the catylist for this shit. He’s not the victim.

I hope he turns the whole thing upside down. This is why he got voted in. More of the same was not acceptable. Deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have troops dying in Niger. More bombs are being dropped at anytime during Obama’s term. America is a cunt hair away from pulling the trigger in NK. Health insurance is about to sky rocket at an even quicker pace. Please show me the improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give him some time before I judge the results. Obama didn’t do shit in 8 years other than fuck up healthcare and divide our country. After seeing Hillary go off the rails since the election it appears we made the right choice between two very undesirable candidates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That negro lady from Florida with the fucking stupid hat, is desperately trying to paint Trump with the racist brush. That fucking cunt, she probably thinks Trump hates blacks, because he's so rich. I don't think he does, but he probably should, 'cause they sure hate him. They know that Trump hates scum-bags. Their instincts are probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
