Trump Falsely Claims Obama Didn’t Contact Families of Fallen Soldiers - Polidicks

[media]https://youtu.be/PH91MA4hVeY[/media] [url]https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/16/us/politics/trump-obama-killed-soldiers.html[/url] [quote]President Trump falsely asserted on Monday that his predecessor, Barack Obama, and other presidents did not contact the families of American troops killed in duty, drawing a swift, angry rebuke from several of Mr. Obama’s former aides. Answering a question about why he had not spoken publicly about the killing of four American Green Berets in an ambush in Niger two weeks ago, Mr. Trump said he had written personal letters to their families and planned to call them in the coming week. “If you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn’t make calls,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference in the Rose Garden with the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell. “A lot of them didn’t make calls. I like to call when it’s appropriate.” Mr. Trump’s assertion belied a long record of meetings Mr. Obama held with the families of killed service people, as well as calls and letters. Mr. Obama regularly traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to greet the caskets of troops, a ritual that began early in his presidency before he decided to deploy 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.[/quote]

Trump continues to astound me with lies that one can easily fact check in a second.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52786541]Trump continues to astound me with lies that one can easily fact check in a second.[/QUOTE] Most of his supporters probably don't care enough to fact check.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52786541]Trump continues to astound me with lies that one can easily fact check in a second.[/QUOTE] He actually did get called on it moments later during the press conference but just reverted to his usual 'well I don't know if he did but a lot of people say he didn't'

[QUOTE=DETrooper;52786547]Most of his supporters probably don't care enough to fact check.[/QUOTE] Im willing to believe that most people, not just trump supporters, dont put in enough effort to fact check.

What a fucking scumbag. He's stripping these families of one of the only little grains of light the state gave them, a personal thank you and an apology from the running President, now he's calling that into doubt for his irreversible Obama boner. Please get this fuck nugget out of office soon, it's almost been a year now and it's not funny anymore.

What a miserable excuse for a man.

Well besides the ever present reminder that he can literally just make up lies and get away with it and how hypocritical it is when he wants legal persecution of journalists for the exact same thing, I find this interesting [quote]Mr. Trump said he had written personal letters to their families and planned to call them in the coming week.[/quote] I get the feeling unless he wins the lottery and gets all 4 supporters or some very cordial people these phone calls are going to like [quote]"Hi, this is President Trump, I'm calling to console you on the loss of your so-" "Hey, thanks for calling, but also go fuck yourself and everything you stand for, fuckman. Shitter boy, I thought chameleons could be more colors than orange"[/quote] something like that that ends with Trump hanging up and smugly going "lol glad your shit kid's dead" because he's an actual sociopath

Humble Trump at it again with the "I'm better than the rest" shit.

fuck you you spray tanned bloated orange

How do people not see through this yet? What voice will people listen to that isn't some kind of "fake news"? People aren't interested in discovering the truth on their own, but who can they believe? Maybe he should make some remarks like this in an address to the nation, that might start a fire or three.

Grass is green, sky is blue, Donald Trump is lying through his teeth. The fact he hasn't been impeached yet speaks volumes about Republican party.

[editline]17th October 2017[/editline] That's the motto of a shitbag

This has to be up there with calling out McCain for being a POW like it was a bad thing. So fucking repulsive

He's also using people who have lost family members as a spring board to shit talk a former President. If I lost someone and he called me, I'd tell him to take his forced sympathy and shove it up his ass.

I don't think a single day has gone by in the last year that this man has not said something horrible, corrupt, retarded, or blatantly false. This clown has outright lied about basically every other politician to have existed, falsely judging them by standards that he continually fails to live up to, and he always gets away with it. He makes doublethink and doublespeak seem almost Utopian. He continues to slander his predecessors, dismantle our protections and regulatory agencies, institute even more tax breaks for the rich and double down on taxing the middle class, and swing his micropenis on twitter. He has degraded the office of the presidency to the point that it is now expected that one cannot take anything the leader of the USA says at face value, but can instead expect shitposting on social media. Our government is a fucking joke, this country is a fucking joke, anyone who has ever defended this narcissistic megolamaniacal wannabe-dictator manchild is a fucking joke, and fucking Fox news becoming the face of state-endorsed media is a fucking joke. The punchline is that every actual thinking human being on this planet is pretty much fucked due to the events of the last few years and the fact that no Republican and select few Democrats would ever try to fix our state, let alone our planet.

I'm starting to wonder if there is anything that Dump can't turn into a jab at Obama. I mean, this is the political equivalent of preschool bullying at this point. It's one thing to try and smear the names of political rivals, but to be so... [i]lazy[/i] about it is just... it's just embarrassing. Trump can't even be a scumbag competently. Holy shit...

Hell they probably don't even like trump, he's just easy material to troll with.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52786541]Trump continues to astound me with lies that one can easily fact check in a second.[/QUOTE] Its definitely intentional. It only has to sound 'right' for people to take it as truth. Even if its refuted right after, the contrary evidence doesn't fit the already accepted narrative held by a large section of society, so it's ignored.

Just not so obvious ( by that I mean his supporters).

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52787969]I don't think most people take Trump by his word.

Don, your presidential campaign is over, you don't have to continue backtalking and making up lies about the people you competed against

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;52786696]I can't say I was a fan of President George W. but fuck if he wasn't at least marginally competent as a human being in comparison to the sentient pussy-grabbing toupee. [/QUOTE] Lol I guess you don't remember some of the scummy things he did as governor then... I find Bush whitewashing kind of fascinating. He's just sad old man who paints pictures :). Obviously it comes from a place of context, but Bush I'd argue was the worst president in the past 25 years. Of course maybe not purely [I]him[/I] personally, but his administration and the people he surrounded himself with. Trump simply does not compare to Bush in any tangible way, yet.

Nice to see that the New York Times has moved from "the President claimed, without evidence" to "the President falsely claimed"

[QUOTE=milktree;52786792][media]https://youtu.be/DSuPflaIO_A[/media][/QUOTE] He is actually right though. I'm a talentless nobody and I'm better than him at everything he listed.
