and docking the deceased's pay for not serving the full term of their enlistment. Plus there's a $50 charge for the flag that drapes the coffin.

All checks to be made out to "Trump, Inc."

He then came out with some "well, that's what I heard" or some lame phrase.

He didn't even need to add "on Fox." Everyone knew.

They wouldn't care about claiming Obama lied, but not contacting the families? It is 12 days later? And he will "write a letter today or tomorrow" sounds like a kids excuse for not doing their homework.

Then to start spewing nonesense about kneeling NFL players disrespecting fallen soldiers. Can we have a campaign ad made of this immediately?

The Presidents really do call people. LBJ called my great aunt after she had learned her son was missing.

Dotard probably calls people during Fox and Friends commercial breaks.
