      It's no surprise that my perspective is out of step w/ most liberal commentators. Here, my attempt at nuance elicited sighs & incredulity.pic.twitter.com/Ym2Fly7SH8

          Understand your thought process but think you are giving him way too much credit. Think about the way he talks and you know it was likely not a thought out response but a glib off the cuff remark. IMO Uncalled for - should have shown respect.

          get what you’re saying. think your interpretation is prob what he was TRYING to say. But inability to translate thought to speech is problem

          Key skill for potus or any leader in any context: say what you mean and be clearly understood (or intentionally unclear). He can’t do that

          would also like to see you justify/explain Trump using Gen. Kelly's son's death to score political points. That was equally as bad for me.

          But this isn't about liberal vs. conservative. It's about a standard of decency and empathy. It's what good parents teach and DJT lacks.

          Exactly correct. I wouldn't be surprised if a eulogy search turned up countless iterations of "he knew what he signed up for."

          His track record is poor. If this was his first ring around the rosey I'd be more simpatico. The man has no nuance, neither should u try

          Matt, a condolence call is a one off. POTUS has ONE chance to get it right and he/she should never say ANYTHING that could be misinterpreted

          This is a call this widow and her family will remember for a lifetime. Trump needed to get it right and he tarnished this moment for them.

          Every American is by now DEEPLY familiar with the way Trump speaks. Graciousness/sincerity aren’t long suits. You’re bending over backwards.

          Hard to know what was said and how it was said, but a grieving family seems enraged. That's a sign he did a poor job

          How do you feel now that Trump has impugned the character of a sitting Congresswoman? Or does it not matter because she is black?

          I think the congresswoman impugned her character all on her own....As has Maxine Waters. They both just happen to be black.
