If the phone call made this family feel better, then good. If trump can act like a decent human being for five mintes, then I'm happy for the innocent family who benefits from the rare emotional largesse.

The people in office we despise do not behave like pure evil 100% of the time, just as good people, even "saints", are not 100% without meanness or selfishness.
