Ah yes... Call the wife of a newly deceased soldier only to tell her "He knew what he signed up for... but I guess it hurts anyway"
Everyone is aware that there are risks with being a soldier on active duty, but what kind of person says something like that to a newly widowed woman? "He knew what he signed up for"? Might as well have said "He had it coming"...
To be fair, I can't be sure of exactly what Donald Trump said, and I think (hope) he didn't mean it in such a way. I just think Donald Trump has shown severe signs of a lack of empathy, which can be either a personality trait or a condition, and this is another thing pointing in that direction. But either way, it is unfathomable to me how someone that did not realize that those words were really stupid in that situation managed to become president.
