Donald Trump is a liar
I know, I know, that isn't news. Or shocking. What is shocking is the whopper he told on Monday, October 16th.
Of all the whoppers that the Liar-in-Chief has told since he was sworn in, this I one of the most outrageous. When he talks in this video about days where he has made four or five such calls, I really wish that his phone bills were a matter of public record. That's because until the four soldiers who were killed in Niger died, there has only been one, one week period, in which more than three military personnel perished closely enough together to warrant that many calls in one day.
On the day that the body of Army SGT La David Johnson, a 25 year old from Miami Gardens arrived back in the U.S., the Liar-in-Chief was too busy to be there. He was playing golf. Golf was more important to this man than paying the proper tribute to a man who gave his life for this country.
Let's review just how many military personnel have been killed in combat operations or while supporting combat operations since the Liar-in-Chief began his term (note: this is not a list of all military personnel who died since he took office, only those deployed in combat zones)

26 men and women killed during the tenure of Donald J. Trump as the Commander-in-Chief. He can't find time to mention all of them, let alone call all of their families. But he has found time to make 69 visits to his various golf clubs and played at least 30 confirmed rounds of golf (according to www.trumpgolfcount.com). He prioritizes golf above his sacred responsibility to offer comfort to the families of the fallen. Disgusting!!
He claims that one or more of his generals told him that President Obama didn't call military families to honor their loved ones. I'd wager every dollar in my wallet that he cannot produce one single general officer willing to back up that claim. Not without giving that general a direct order to lie to the American people. Donald Trump's contempt for Gold Star families is already a matter of public record.
No matter how well I express my own feelings on this subject, the words of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich describe the asshole in the Oval Office best:
“This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner—and to lie about how previous presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers—is as low as it gets. We have a pathological liar in the White House, unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office, and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this president should be ashamed, because they know better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it. This is their shame most of all.”
