WASHINGTON -- One person who obviously didn’t know “what he was signing up for” is President Trump. Others include Trump voters who believed they were electing a decent human being to be commander in chief.
What Trump reportedly said to the grief-stricken widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, who gave his life for his country, is not some kind of minor miscue or media-fueled distraction. It speaks to the core issue of Trump’s character and demonstrates, as clearly as any incident to date, his unfitness for the office he holds — and dishonors.
Trump is a weak, narcissistic man in a job that requires strength and empathy. I’m not sure that empathy is a concept he even understands. He acts as if he believes that feeling someone else’s pain is strictly for losers, not winners.
None of this is a surprise. We learned a lot about Trump during the campaign when he attacked the Khan family, who lost a son in Iraq, for having the temerity to attack him politically. We have a president who believes that making the ultimate sacrifice for the nation is less important than supporting or opposing Trump.
Sadly, that’s typical Trump. He makes a grand promise, which allows him to feel big and generous — which is the whole point. Even in interactions with Gold Star families, it’s all about him. Later, having played the role of Trump the Munificent, he forgets about it and goes in search of the next opportunity to shore up his fragile ego.
No one should expect him to grow in office. He’s 71. At that age, either you have compassion, self-knowledge and a conscience, or you don’t.

Guess who is -2 sigma on the intelligence curve.
The glasses aren’t helping dude at all dumba$$.
He might be correct. Perhaps even Trump didn’t know the depth and corruption of The Swamp.
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Can we limit posting this b/s? Some have said if they didn’t know any better they would think FR was a Leftist site what with all the pro-Lying Left headlines steaming across.
What good does it do to post this b/s from a known lying Leftist outlet other than demoralize the readers? If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a relatively reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.
Note this comes to us from the San Jose newspaper. A city made famous by its cops’ refusal to protect Trump supporters being beaten, bloodied and spit on by waves of illegal aliens and other democrats in 2016.
In California, I know very well, they are eating up crap like this. We are heading closer and closer to a civil war. I think the only way to head it off is to let the most extreme parts of the country go their own way.
Yes, Trump is such an idiot - and he beat the champion of the Democrats.
Yes, Trump is such an idiot - and he got his Supreme Court nominee approved with little opposition.
Yes, Trump is such an idiot - and he beat ISIS; whom Obama said could not be defeated militarily.
Yes, Trump is such an idiot - and he is rolling back Obama’s policies at the EPA, Ed Dept, etc.
Yes, Trump is such an idiot - and he beat the champion of the Democrats.
Yes, Trump is such an idiot - and he mercilessly trolls the Main Stream Media just before a major policy shift thus keeping policy opponents away from discussing policy.
BWA-HAHAHA.
This is at best a minor miscue and a media-fueled disraction. There’s not enough molehill there to make a mountain.
Earth to Robinson......
Ask for the troops who they would rather serve Trump or Obama.
Not STFU
I’m sick of seeing these liberals getting their columns posted on FR.
What he "reportedly" said??? Don't believe everything you read in or hear from The Fake News Media, Eugene.

What? You mean he doesn't believe every word the Cowboy Lady said?
That makes 50 million of us.
Since when does the left care about the military?
oh look - someone who has absolutely no experience with the military talking like he knows something
We gotta have some sort of comic relief because the professional comedians are doing such a bang up job!
Another “skin color challenged” “reporter!” Hey Eugene, I’ve got a one-way ticket to Niger waiting for you. You’ll fit right in there with all the Nigerarians and we won’t have to listen to your idiotic prattle any longer.
This was such a loser for the left.
They gave it 3 days to get the polling in and realized they just lost 3 more Senate seats in 2018.
Now the pivot. Too late. Damage done. First the NFL and now this. Winning!
