Listen: Soldier’s widow shares her call with Trump
washington post ^ | 10/20/2017 | Thomas Johnson

Posted on 10/21/2017 2:15:26 PM PDT by paladinkc

Our president has nailed it on the head again, and I am sure no media outlet will share this heartfelt video of our president calling to wish this lady his condolences. Mrs De Alencar released her copy of the video of the president's call.

Thank you. Where on earth was it in the thread? I just had cataract surgery but I’m not blind - or I didn’t think I was. Thanks...

Two things; first, I think you get a call from the WH giving you a head’s up that the POTUS is going to be calling you. Two, this video is not of the same veteran’s widow as the one Congresswoman Rodeo Clown was with.

This whole thing is incredibly absurd. The Dems and the MSM should be ashamed of themselves for even acknowledging this nutty Congress critter’s ridiculous claim.

That’s all very true. He didn’t interrupt her or talk over her - unlike most of the hosts on FOX....HA!

I would say those parents are/were doing a heck of a job with the high achieving kids. The widow has every reason to be proud; her husband had a role in making that happen. He served his country and sacrificed his life for it and there’s no chance his kids are going to fall for the **** that’s being handed out today about patriotism AND the military!

I think you are correct, TigersEye, on both counts. They knew the POTUS was going to call. They may have asked if they could record it--I would have!

And yes, this phone call is not the one in question. This is from earlier this year.

The Washington Post and CNN had no choice but to run this video. Soon...all the TV networks, Print media and social media will have access to this “Trump” You Tube video.

Side Bar for American Blacks: Fact: Your worst enemies are your own leaders, Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, The Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP, Black Lives Matter and all of the entire Democrat Party.

God bless POTUS, Donald J. Trump and, all the American women & men that volunteer to serve & protect, we, the American people. We love & pray for all of you.

“”He is big souled in the best American tradition.””

That is a great description...and AMEN for blessing for her and her children.

I wish this wasn’t the case, but I think this is a different widow. Please tell me I’m wrong.

Natasha De Alencar had just returned home on April 12 after making T-shirts and pillowcases in her husband’s memory when the Army casualty assistance officer told her there was someone on the phone for her. It was President Trump.

Days before, two Army men told her that her husband, Army Staff Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar, had been killed in Afghanistan on April 8.

“I’ll never forget those super-white, clean gloves, or the expressionless look on their faces,” she previously told The Washington Post.

De Alencar was killed during a firefight with Islamic State fighters in eastern Afghanistan. He was a member of the 7th Special Forces Group

Does anyone know if there is a GoFundMe for this Gold Star widow? I would like to do something more for her & her family. Her husband made the ultimate sacrifice as has she.

Well, what I was thinking, is when the phone (or cellphone) rings, I pick it up, and I’m talking. There’s no record. So, someone else ... probably the cowboy hat Representative ... had to immediately react, whip out her phone, and record her side of the conversation, or maybe both if speakerphone functionality was activated.

I believe these calls from presidents are per-arranged. I sincerely doubt any president sits around trying to call people when there's no assurance they're home/answering.

Not sure it was in the thread...I just had followed it and found the you tube video.

Glad your surgery went well...

Re calls being pre-arranged:

Yeah, silly me. Mine aren’t.

Very true. There are other good reasons for pre-arranging calls from a POTUS. It might be too shocking to get a cold call from a POTUS and the recipient might go 'deer-in-the-headlights' or get hysterical (think Publisher's Clearing House winner) or simply not believe it is the POTUS and hang up. It also gives the recipient time to get other grieving family members together as they might appreciate being present as well.

You guys are right. The call was probably pre-arranged.

Which, is why Rep. Wilson’s crap is all the more irritating. She planned to be there, and take advantage of it if possible. Whether that was the intent of the family is unclear.

Why is it is the only black soldiers death is being talked about. Could it be the other families are not race baiting loud mouths?

I think recording without prior approval is illegal.

Depends on the state. In some, it is legal for one of the known parties of the conversation to record it. It becomes an extension of the person's own memory of what they said and heard.

Exactly. Folks that listen to Rush were pegged early as mind numbed robots. It is very plain to see it is the exact opposite. They only get away with all of it because the media never challenges the Left, its leaders, or the philosophy.
