Anytime 45 does anything remotely humane, his staff would have been promoting the action all over the media because that is who 45 is. He wants praise, gratitude, accolades etc. Making calls to Gold Star families would have been great PR for him and would have given him the opportunity to brag just as he did when the subject came up yesterday,

I really believe that 45 has made no phone calls to these families UNTIL yesterday. I bet automated letters were sent and that is what he was relying and lying on when he said he likes both ways of communicating to Gold Star families.

I have basis for making this assumption except for 45's history of lies and disrespect.

During the year Gen. Kelly's son was killed, 499 US military were killed. I doubt seriously that Pres. Obama or any other President would have been able to make 499 calls but I wager that the number of calls he did make during his time in office would cover the number of ALL the military deaths since 45 took office.

Just waiting to see how Sara and the WH spin this.
