    The trump admin is the definition of a train wreck with historically low approval ratings for a new admin. A national security advisor who had to resign for lying, an AG who might yet have to step down and had to recuse himself, hamfisted travel ban that went off like a lead balloon, a Sec-Ed that was confirmed in a tie breaking vote by the admins own VP and this is just the start. You are a perfect example of echo chamber reality and alternative facts; a bellwether for how the country can be so divided when facts are based on partisan foundations.

    they're two different situation. One was used to attack a candidate the other was there to be honored for his service.

    LOL. That's one way for Trump to spin it. Except... Trump contacted the Pentagon for details he hoped would help spin the Yemen mission in his speech and reverse public perception after the Navy Seal's father criticized Trump and the mission:

    The linked article you must have not read reported that the administration confirmed they approached the Pentagon.

    Yes I read it and it just says that the WH asked for details of the raid. What's wrong with that?

    The White House asked the Pentagon for information it could make public in President Donald Trump's Tuesday night address about a controversial Special Operation raid in Yemen to better explain the mission's purpose and demonstrate that the results were worth its costs, CNN has learned.

    It was. They got a lot of intel out of that raid. Was it wrong of Trump to honor the man's sacrifice? I don't see Trump using the widow at all.
