Trump falsely says Obama did not call families of dead soldiers

When Trump got questioned by the reporter about his claim, Trump admitted that he actually had no idea if Obama had called or not. That's the real problem with Trump. He will say anything to make himself look better or attack Obama, knowing he has no idea if his claim is true or not. He just makes shit up and hopes no one will check, or even if they do check, he knows the correction never gets the same attention as the false claim.

Trump does this instinctively. During the campaign, when the debate dates were released, Trump didn't like that one went up against an NFL game. So Trump says "the NFL sent me a letter saying they didn't like that date either". The thing is, he just pulled that lied out of his ass. The NFL said they sent no letter to Trump and had absolutely no discussion with his campaign about the debate date. He just makes up complete lies as naturally as he breathes. The crowd at his inauguration was way bigger than Obamas--no, not by a long shot. His electoral college victory was the largest margin in history--no, Obama, Reagan and Bush all had larger. Yet he repeated that lie over and over again. It's really pathetic and a bad personality flaw for a US president.

You're fooling yourself if you think any past president called ALL of the families of fallen soldiers. But, I agree that this should be left to each president as a personal matter, not thrown out into the court of public opinion.

He's the current POTUS and all the venting and scandal the media can provide and spin won't change that. At age 70 I'd guess he's fairly set in his ways and nobody is going to change him. People are certainly free to disagree with his words and deeds but again, it won't change anything. At age 60 I've figured out what's worth fretting over, and what's worth the effort to attempt to change. The rest that fails that test is just baggage that I choose not to carry. If we did A - B comparisons of all former Presidents we would find many things about each one that we find fault with. We might also find things that some find fault in and other's do not. Nobody is perfect even though some might think so. History will judge him, just as it has judged previous Presidents, just as it will judge each of us.

Who is Popovich? Didn't see his name in article and am not up on name recognition outside the mainstream.
