I bet Trump never used the work “Coward”. The media lies, lies, lies and then lies some more.

“they didn’t react properly under pressure or they were a coward”

The headline lies. He said one or the other. It’s hard to argue that the statement Trump made is untrue.

As usual, he said words that sorta match what they said, but there were more that added context to his message. A well thought out response is what it appeared to be, but, what possibly could have occurred. He did not know the possible extenuating circumstances, and said so...

He didn't actually call him a coward even in that statement if reported correctly. He listed it as an option based on failure to react to the situation.

The immediate retirement of the SRO in light of the criticism from his own boss is telling though.

He didn't call him a coward....left it as a possibility.

Pretty obvious that he was though or he would have never immediately resigned.

Bet he's not sleeping very well.

He sure did, he said it to a reporter as he was leaving the WH.

The video is at the link. Trump said "...he didn't have the courage..." Where is that different from saying he was a coward?

'So he certainly did a poor job,' Trump repeated. 'But that's a case where, somebody who was outside, they're trained, they didn't react properly under pressure or they were a coward. It was a real shot to the police department.'

Looks like a direct quote, and Trump did use the word coward, but he did not directly accuse the deputy of being a coward so that makes the headline a lie, big surprise! All Trump did was say what all of us are thinking.
