That seems like a bad quote for Trump.

So, you're saying that people that sign up for a voluntary military duty don't understand that there is the possibility they may be placed in harm's way?

Truth hurts sometimes unfortunately. Bad optics tho and not how a person with any sense of empathy should address a grieving person

I mean there's a lot of things that are true that we, as a polite society, don't say to grieving widows.
I'm not sure "it's true" is really a good defense here.

Especially when you leave off half the statement on purpose to change the context.

Is he wrong?
Need more context, anyway.

He just walked up to her and said, "He knew what he signed up for, bitch." I saw him do it, my link is in my mind. That's how it went down.

I'm shocked this is coming out right now.

You are so disingenuous. If this is what the left is reduced to it will o my be good for republicans.

I'm not a Trump fan at all but the full quote:
doesn't sound bad to me. Sounds like he was saying "even though he knew the risks that doesn't make you feel any better."

Ok, I just saw the actual statement. Ridiculously out of context.
Edit the fricking OP.

Really poor phrasing if that was his intended message.

a man would understand this
but I can see why a widow would flip out

I bet this ends up being proven to be complete and total bullshite.
Like nearly EVERYTHING they've thrown at him over the last 2 years.

Cue up the “ what he said was correct” defenses from the trumpkins. With that being said, I have a hard time believing even Trump would mess up this badly. Do we have his entire statement to her? Probably not though.
