      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

      Note: It may turn out Trump was callous & inhumane. What I'm saying is that, based on the quote we have today, we don't KNOW that to be true

          Please stop. Just... no. Trump has already proven himself to be the insensitive pig that disrespects Gold Star families.

          That's a fair point! But now this morning, the mother is telling us how she felt in response, which is ultimately the most important thing.

          He swept away his benefit of the doubt. Remember what he said about the Khan family and McCain's POW experience?

          Funny you Conservatives ALWAYS love to give yourselves the benefit of the doubt when bad statement/action is made, don't do same for others.

          This is not a tribal/partisan/liberal/conservative/racial issue. We have firsthand accounts and is consistent w/ Trump's past behavior.

          Ok. But if the family interpreted it as callous, then it likely is. They said he couldn't remember his name! Have it written down in front of you for goodness sakes. He is the President! His words count.

          We know he's called it fabricated and says he has proof. Think that's true? How many times are people gonna fall for this same trick??

          Congresswoman’s interview says it all. Admits to not hearing whole convo has long pause clearly leaving things out, tone tenor matters.

          What we do know is that the family was offended, regardless of what was said & intent. Not our business to judge whether they're right/wrong

          If Trump had 1 ounce of compassion in his tiny hands, all he had to do is say it wasn't his intent to upset them & apologize.

          That's how decent people act. Going back/forth discussing whether or not what he said what appropriate or not doesn't matter & is unseemly

          Just the idea of CONTINUING THE CALL while she was literally being driven to accept corpse for a closed casket shows disconnected narcissist

          But we DO have statements from three of the four people on the widows end of a "conference call" effectively.
