Col. Jack Jacobs on this phone call fiasco.

Last edited Wed Oct 18, 2017, 04:10 PM - Edit history (1)

On MSNBC with Chris Jansen. He said that Trump was crass and graceless and inept and ignorant. He was very emotional. It was obvious that he is deeply offended by Trump's behavior.

He also said that Trump believes his own version of reality and quoted from Seinfeld.."If you believe it, it isn't a lie." Col. Jacobs said Trump thinks this way.

perhaps this will awaken them to the real Trump. And it ain't pretty.

Last night with Brian Williams. If you've been in the circumstance, you will get emotional. I know I do. When you are in that moment you shut up to keep the family as the main focus. The guy in the White House had no preparation for call timing. Not on the way to the airport! Then you have the soldier's name in front of you, along with family names.

Furthermore, I suspect President Obama and General Kelly had a very private get together. Both men are mum.

More of them are learning the hard way that he doesn't support the troops and was just pandering during the campaign.

These people had their minds made up about Trump long before the election. Don't forget, the other choice was the wicked, evil, traitorous Hillary. Now Trump has turned out to be everything they wrongly accused Hillary of being. To change their mind about Trump now would mean that they'd have to admit they made a mistake. Many people are loathe to admit their judgement is capable of being wrong. They'll find a way to justify this in their own minds.

that Hillary isn't "a human being"? I don't believe that's what you meant to imply.

I don't quite know what your statement had to do with what I said, but that's OK. We're all in this together.

And if anything, she's above mere mortals!

I'm saying trump isn't quite mortal, subhuman in fact, but voters May have to choose between Trump and a person, not some imaginary foe out of trump's altered reality.

I totally agree with everything you wrote. Don't you wish we could all get along so easily? This Bernie vs. Hillary stuff has got to stop, and TRUMP? Lord, I wish he'd never begun, but getting rid of that slimeball is job #1. Peace.

It isn't going to get any better. Will probably get much much worse as time goes on. Can you imagine!
