WASHINGTON -- One person who obviously didnt 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 Trumps 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. Im not sure that empathy is a concept he even understands. He acts as if he believes that feeling someone elses 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, thats 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, its 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. Hes 71. At that age, either you have compassion, self-knowledge and a conscience, or you dont.

“Hey Eugene, Ive got a one-way ticket to Niger waiting for you. “
So you don’t want to go back to Africa Robinson? Tough shit..shut up and keep swimming.
I believe it to be a deliberate misinterpretation of comforting words.
But you have to at least admit that the Freeper comments to liberal crapweasels are a hoot to read.
Ah Eugene, maybe some day you will find a brain that isn’t mired in the Democrat racist plantation and talking points — but I doubt it.
Our local Gannett newsrag features him on the editorial page. I'd prefer Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell or Larry Elder once in a while for balance, since it appears that it's absolutely necessary to have a black voice.
Thanks for the link, I noticed that MSN.com put a disclaimer at the start of the article. So now, any article that even remotely portrays the President in a positive light must be preceded with a disclaimer that distances the media from the message.
Blacks are all circling the wagons.hypocrites.imo
I understand that Morning Joe is the favorite show of the North Korean Government. They love all the anti-Trump people on the show.
Have never invested another glance at anything featurIng his byline.
I hear Eugene Robinson’s IQ test came back negative.
who on FR okayed this piece of crap to even be on here??? Giving free air time to this is shameful.
We knew what we were getting, and that is WHY I campaigned for him. We were getting someone who is going to shake up DC, and he is!!
About the only thing I remember about this idiot was the time he went on a fast to aid Haiti. He fasted here in the United States in front of the white guys to promote change. He did not bother to go to Haiti and fast where it would make more sense; primarily because the brothers down there would have laughed their heads off.
LOL - that works too...
He’s being stingy with intelligence. It’s like he’s hiding in a woodpile.
Trump pegged the lying “news folks early on - and they continue to prove him right as he counterattacks - time and time again....they are so stupid that they resemble a Democrat protests where someone feeds them all a certain meme and they all parrot it just.....because....
