Glad the family got the check

The media actually did its job, and really impressed following up the claim from the Trump Administration. I know a check will never replace the lost of their son but taking politics out of this it just really warms my heart.

1. Look what Trump wrote in the letter he sent with the check:

“I am glad my legal counsel has been able to finally approve this contribution to you,” Trump wrote in the letter. . . . "


He is pretending that his legal counsel was holding up approval of the letter, not that he was stiffing the guy after making that grandiose promise.

far from being overscrutinized or impugned by the media, Trump has gotten breaks above and beyond what any of his predecessors could have expected. much of the time, all he has to do to land grand accolades is not say something stupid or dishonest on a sensitive topic. but he can't shut up and he needs to lie. fucking amazing.
