You're the one criticizing the President for calling their families. He's got better things to do?

I did no such thing. I am simply no going to fault him for not calling.

"It is not the responsibility of the sitting President to call the families of those lost in combat. Whether they be Republican or Democrat. It is the responsibility of the unit commander."

Remember that one? How should have we interpreted that statement? I am proud that Donald Trump sees it has his duty to speak to the next of kin of the fallen.
