Documents reveal that Trump lied about contacting nearly every Gold Star family, and the White House was forced into scramble mode because they knew that Trump’s statement was not true.
Roll Call obtained the documents showing that the White House is scrambling to cover Trump’s lie, “The email exchange, which has not been previously reported, shows that senior White House aides were aware on the day the president made the statement that it was not accurate — but that they should try to make it accurate as soon as possible, given the gathering controversy. Not only had the president not contacted virtually all the families of military personnel killed this year, the White House did not even have an up-to-date list of those who had been killed. The exchange between the White House and the Defense secretary’s office occurred about 5 p.m. on Oct. 17. The White House asked the Pentagon for information about surviving family members of all servicemembers killed after Trump’s inauguration so that the president could be sure to contact all of them.”
The Trump administration cares so little about those who die serving their country that they didn’t have an accurate casualty list. The White House knew that Trump didn’t call all of the Gold Star families, but they never corrected him, or the public record. The Trump White House is astonishingly incompetent, and they cover their incompetence with arrogance and lies. Trump never contacted the Gold Star families because he didn’t even know who died.
You better believe that George W. Bush and Barack Obama knew and felt sadness and grief with a member of the US military lost their life. Donald Trump isn’t fulfilling the minimum duties of the presidency. If it wasn’t for his corruption, conflict, and frivolous waste of taxpayer funds, it would be the country had no president at all.
