12. One of the most extraordinary moments ever?

I have no idea what this man is talking about.

I'm old enough to remember many extraordinary moments (e.g., Nixon's 'my mother was a saint' in his farewell speech before boarding the helicopter, Reagan's 'tear down this wall!' etc.) in American politics.

However, Trump's so-called honoring the deceased Navy Seal and exploiting his grieving wife? It is only extraordinary in Trump's devious, manipulative use of a tragedy.

If this is Jones' benchmark for Trump emerging as a true American president, Jones needs to recalibrate his thinking.
