    I don't disagree....what i disagree about is people going out of their way to turn non-stories into scandals. Trump gives people plenty of legit reasons to whine, why make sh*t up? It just makes the Trump Derangement Syndrome cases that much more pathetic IMO.

    Only a partisan knuckle dragger would be upset by this story.

    And the widow of the deceased service member.

    I'm not upset about his phrasing. I'm pretty confident his phrasing of "he signed up for this" wasn't out of malice.

    I'm upset that Trump can't simply just apologize to the widow and personally tell her that his phrasing wasn't the best. That's all he has to do. But his ego trumps a widow of KIA servicemember and her grieving process.

    Also him using prior presidents to prop up his ego of calling families of dead veterans is disgusting.

    See at this point, anyone who has the self-awareness would realize to let it go and just apologize to the widow that his words weren't delivered in the manner they were intended.

    That's all he has to do. He can't even do that.

    Are Democrats once again using a gold star family to further their political motives? No shame in Democrats. It didn't work the first time and it won't work now.

    The gold star family members are the ones voicing their concerns...

    So they are using themselves?

    Why don't you come out and say it RL> These gold star families are using their family member's deaths to hate on Trump. Go ahead, say it.

    Only in Trump fan logic would Trump attacking multiple Gold Star families = Democrats using gold star families for political gain.

    Trump could take a dump on the oval office desk (as Anderson Cooper once alluded to), and it would be the Democrats fault. Its Hillary's fault because the cook in the WH voted for Clinton, and therefore spiked his burrito.

    There is literally nothing that Trump could do that you wouldn't blame Democrats for. NOTHING.

    You can't honestly believe that. The khan fellow was campaigning for Hillary. This lady is friends with Debbie Frederica Wilson. Do you really think these two gold star families just happened to be Democrats?

    That's because I'm not a sheep and I don't automatically jump on "it must be Trump's fault like always" bandwagon.

    So are these Gold Star families using their dead family member then?

    Why can't they have genuine complaints?

    So when Trump speaks your first thought is... well maybe that's not actually Trump. I'm not a sheep, and therefore its highly possible Trump has a doppelganger who is a secret Democrat making public statements and Tweets on his behalf.

    Smart... glad you are such a free thinking non-sheep. You are an example to us all for your bravery.

    You can look at the people who jumped the gun and started attacking Wilson the same as Kelly did. The ones in this thread who owe Wilson an apology.

    That may very well be true, but that's another topic.
