    Trump’s False Claim About Obama and Fallen Soldiers
    by Dartunorro Clark


    President Donald Trump falsely claimed on Monday that former President Barack Obama didn't call the families of fallen service members.




    "If you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn’t make calls — a lot of them didn't make calls — I like to make calls when it's appropriate," Trump said at a press conference in the Rose Garden when asked about why he had not addressed the recent deaths of American troops in Niger.
    However, a former senior Obama administration disputed Trump's claim.
    "President Trump’s claim is wrong," the ex-official said. "President Obama engaged families of the fallen and wounded warriors throughout his presidency through calls, letters, visits to Section 60 at Arlington, visits to Walter Reed, visits to Dover, and regular meetings with Gold Star Families at the White House and across the country."

    Gold Star Families Attack Trump Over Comments About Ghazala Khan
    by F. Brinley Bruton

    VFW, GOP Leaders Criticize Trump Over His Reactions to the Khans 2:44
    The families of 17 service members who died fighting for the U.S. demanded an apology from Donald Trump on Monday, accusing him of "cheapening the sacrifice made by those we lost."
    They said the Republican presidential nominee's suggestion that the Muslim mother of a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq had not “been allowed” to speak at the Democratic National Convention was akin to "attacking us."
    A letter signed by the Gold Star families — the term for those who have lost loved ones during military service — also called Trump’s comments "repugnant, and personally offensive."
    "When you question a mother's pain, by implying that her religion, not her grief, kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us," the letter added. "When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice."

    Is anyone surprised, not the first time the desperate cheeto disrespected Gold Star families.

    I know, that did not bother Rumppers, just people not standing during the national anthem.
