so lets review:
- Press takes a swing at Trump and baits him
- Trump falls for bait and says something factually true but he's a moron for saying it with such optics
- Press goes in a tizzy lambasting him for being a monster
- Trump doubles down by pointing out facts that support what he said
- Press props up some spin to deflect from those facts in the most disingenuous fashion and call it a lie again
seems like, every other week Trump's been president
In this case, Trump got baited into pointing out his predecessors didn't always call families of fallen soldiers like he did, he points out that Obama didn't call John Kelly, then media runs with "But Obama invited Kelly to a gold star breakfast", which occurred 6 months later and is the same memorial day event with gold star families that takes place every year, heck Trump spent personal time with Kelly at the last one.
