WASHINGTON — President Trump falsely asserted on Monday that his predecessor, Barack Obama, and other presidents did not contact the families of American troops killed in duty, drawing a swift, angry rebuke from several of Mr. Obama’s former aides.

Answering a question about why he had not spoken publicly about the killing of four American Green Berets in an ambush in Niger two weeks ago, Mr. Trump said he had written personal letters to their families and planned to call them in the coming week.

“If you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn’t make calls,” Mr. Trump said during a news conference in the Rose Garden with the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell. “A lot of them didn’t make calls. I like to call when it’s appropriate.”

Do you really want to be included in the same sentence with the last person that posted this?

It could get really ugly for you.

Odd you didn't post his correction immediately after. Interesting.

Those of us that watched also know that he corrected the record when asked about it.

Fake News, go watch the interview, the last 10 mins, Q & A with media.

Here is what he said:

He said he did not think, did not think, President OBAMA phoned family members But wrote a letter of condolence instead, where he does both

Talk about Lies

Why do you guys NEVER read the board before you post german threads?

You guys log into wapo, nyt, etc, see a anti trump article, and you cream your pants

You rush here to post it without taking 25 seconds to see it has already been posted

I was just coming here to post this. First, he lies about Obama not doing it but then turns around and admits that he doesn't know.

Really? He knew he was busted in a lie. Why not just admit that he doesn't like soldiers that get caught or killed. Why doesn't he man up and tell the families that their sons aren't heroes?

When you lie as much as he lies you eventually just believe the lies.

The guy is soulless and probably the worst person to ever occupy the office.

But then again are you really surprised that a guy who attacks gold star parents and POWs would lie about this sort of thing?

Why is it that you guys keep posting the same 3-4 lies/misstatements that obama made in response to every dumbass thing that trump says? Trump says something stupid at least twice per week and every time you tards respond with "keep your dr" or "57 states".

Obama was POTUS for 8 years. Trump has been POTUS for 9 months. Surely y'all can find something new

Because they know. Deep down they know what an absolute soulless moron they wasted their vote on.

They have set the bar so low for him seeking wins in anything the guy says or does.

It's pretty pathetic.
