    Like a good soldier who takes a bullet for his commanding officer, Kelly took responsibility upon himself. And stated that he had told Trump to make that comment to Sgt. Johnson's widow

    But, bottom line, NBC's reporting is confirmed. Trump did tell the widow that the Sargent knew what he was signing up for

    Trump lied yesterday when he denied saying it!

    So, I'm kind of curious as to what Trump supporters think. Because it looks like every time Trump accuses the MSM of lying, and we later get a chance to verify who is lying and who is telling the truth. Every time! As far as I can remember. It's Trump the one who turns out to have lied!

    So all this "fake news by the mainstream media" you scream about over and over... where is it? How can they be lies if again and again, they turn out to be right?

    They were right (and Trump lied) when they reported that Obama's inauguration crowd was larger than Trump's. They were right (and Trump lied) about Trump Jr's meeting. They were right (and Trump lied) when they reported that Trump had called China a "currency manipulator". They were right (and Trump lied) when they reported that Trump had fired Comey because of the Russia investigation. They were right (and Trump lied) when they reported that Trump had leaked secrets in a meeting with Russian officials. They were right (and Trump lied) when they said that Clapper never said that there was no investigation of collusion with Russia.

    And again and again and again....the MSM is right... even when their reports come from "sources who wish to remain anonymous", and Trump is shown a liar.

    I know there have to be intellectually honest Republicans out there... somewhere....And some of them might still be considering supporting Trump in what he does.

    How much more proof do they need that Trump is a pathological liar? I know you are out there... somewhere... They're certainly not as loud as the fanatics on this forum. But why complete silence? Just acknowledge that, despite the fact that Trump has been proven to be a compulsive serial liar, you still support him.

    But also make sure you acknowledge that, every time the facts come out, what you have been calling "fake news" keeps being proven accurate.

    Why did Trump sit there with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the people in the room and blatantly lying through his teeth like it was nothing at all? Because that's exactly what happened. Kelly confirmed that Trump said those words.

    How many times does Trump have to get caught in lies before his fan base stops covering for him?

    NBC could tell them that 1+1=2 and the RW Fever Swamp would scream "Fake News".

    So Kelly confirmed Trump did not disrespect the soldier as reported. So, what is your little dance about?

    You and I thing alike. This is what I said on another thread.

    Marine Corps general and current chief of staff at the White House, John Kelly, fell on his sword for the President. He wanted to end what Trump started, the politicalization of grieving family members of the fallen.

    I sincerely hope Trump was listening and for once in his life took to heart the lesson learned.

    President Obama did not call him. Kelly's friend, General Joseph Dunford, called and informed Kelly of his loss. Trump accused the former President of not calling Kelly to which Kelly said, "that's not a criticism."

    "That's not a negative thing," he said. "I don't believe all presidents call. I believe they all write."

    The loyal Marine did what he felt he had to do for his Commander-in-Chief.


    Did you serve? Marine, by any chance?

    The democrat congress critter started it by going to the press and politicizing the death of a soldier. Facts don't seem to bother some of you.

    Why don't you ask Trump that? He is the one who made grieving families of the fallen a political controversy.

    Like a good Trump lapdog, I guess you forgot that part.

    Dude if you spin any harder you'll need a shovel to dig your self out of the ground. Dude the fact that he signed up for it is what makes him a hero. He knew from the very beginning that the consequences of his career choice were potentially fatal. Sergeant Johnston and the others died just as did Christ that others might live. For that there is no medal, no words, adequate to do justice to that sacrifice.

    He didn't confirm he didn't disrespect him. He only confirmed that he lied. What Trump actually told the widow... who knows. She most definitely interpreted it as disrespectful to her. But you can deny that if you want, because there is no way and there will never be a way to know for sure. The one thing we do know for sure is that Trump lied. And that NBC's reporting was accurate. Despite Trump and the right calling it "fake news". And this appears to be the pattern.

    Trump simply has no concept of truth.There are no real facts to him. There is only what he chooses to say in order to make himself feel good

    I have uttered nothing that would even remotely be confused with a "falsehood"

    It couldn't be clearer. The video is real. Or are you claiming that it's an actor? Doesn't look like Alec Baldwin to me but... who knows...

    Is that what your argumet?

    The bottom line is; Trump has virtually no credibility. NBC was here before Trump and they'll be here long after he is gone so when the masses of conservatives blorch about how dishonest the MSM is, I say let them whine, kick and stamp their feet all they want and pay them no mind.
