    If Obama had done the exact same thing, the right's reaction would have easily been 10x what you are now seeing from the left.

    Do you not care about this kind of behavior from the CnC? It's up to you if you don't. I'm just curious.

    The man has a way with words and a startling EQ. Just not in a good way. It's probably hard for him to understand how his words will affect others when he's thinking about himself all the time. But, you're right, sometimes people say the wrong things, commit a faux pas, whatever. The important thing is to know how to apologize and make it right when you offend someone. Oh wait....

    Trump is on the autistic spectrum.

    I’m just going to hope against hope that Trump didn’t say that to a grieving pregnant widow

    Disguted by any and all that politicize the death of our soldiers.

    Happens a lot. Civilians are quick to say “we” need to go fight someone but won’t ever Ruck up.

    I’m not a combat vet so I’d never include myself in the “we” that actually deploys and sees combat

    And that's just in the D&D. Reminds me why stopped coming in here. Reminds me not to come back.

    The only reason why this thread exists is that the President, for not even the first time, decided that picking a public fight with grieving veteran families was an important use of his time.

    MANY SIDES

    Please don't associated autistic folks with Trump. I have been around a few kids on the spectrum and they are so loving and caring. More than the typical kids. Small sample but do not associated them with soulless and coward.

    Trump also said he would set up a fundraiser and he did neither. Trump is lower than low.

    Trump is a scumbag. He uses the deaths of our service men and women to boast about how great he is. Sicko.

    He complains about respecting a flag but poops on dead soldiers who "knew what they were getting into"

    A flag is more valuable to Trump than a soldier life and their family.

    That would be a compliment in his case.

    He's on the "I don't give a f*** because I don't have to" spectrum. Otherwise known as a sociopath.

    That or he's senile.

    He didn't even bother to learn the names of the soldier or his wife before calling them. He called him "your guy". My God. That is next level type callousness. Even for him.

    By the way, why did it take 12 days for Trump to talk about Niger? Why were our soldiers ambushed by 50 ISIS without warning and without even an armoured pick-up truck????

    For all the crying about Benghazi, why aren't people talking about what happened in Niger???
