Trump offered a grieving military father $25,000 in a call, but didn’t follow through

President Trump, in a personal phone call to a grieving military father, offered him $25,000 and said he would direct his staff to establish an online fundraiser for the family, but neither happened, the father said.

Chris Baldridge, the father of Army Sgt. Dillon Baldridge, told The Washington Post that Trump called him at his home in Zebulon, N.C., a few weeks after his 22-year-old son and two fellow soldiers were gunned down by an Afghan police officer in a suspected insider attack June 10. Their phone conversation lasted about 15 minutes, Baldridge said, and centered for a time on the father's struggle with the manner in which his son was killed.

"I said, 'Me and my wife would rather our son died in trench warfare,' " Baldridge said. "I feel like he got murdered over there."

Trump's offer of $25,000 adds another dimension to the president's relations with Gold Star families, an honorific given to those whose loved ones die while serving in support of the nation's wars. The disclosure follows questions about how often the president has called or written to grieving military families.

Of course he didn't follow through. He's a pathological liar and a conman.
Btw the article also shares some nice stories about when trump called families and didn't lie to them but was very kind.

 

Sad, but not surprising.. Trump is a showman, nothing else.

 

Trump is a Pathological LIAR.

1+1=2.

The Ocean Contains Water.

Etc.

 

In before the smearfest on yet another fallen soldier's parent begins.

 

I know a vidro ignited the ire of some Muslims who went out just looking to kill Americans, but what difference does that make now?

 

22 embassies and consulates were on alert that week... some had protests. others had riots........

 

Posts like that are definitely in the wheelhouse of PF's pro-Trump RW Troll Squad.

Hopefully, they can restrain themselves before disrespecting the family of a fallen hero.

 

So Righty’s what’s your Excuse for this President?

 

... and about this 25k what do you say?

 

I say show me the poof Trump said this. We are seeing leftists making daily claims Trump said something that he denied. Leftists are losing and they are notorious for fighting dirty. Like the Russia collusion. Turns out they were right there was collusion only they were the ones who were doing it. So....proof please.

 

So you are saying that Trump is no better than Obama - I agree.

 

Only in left wing loony land.

 

Proof Trump actually said that. He claims its not true and the accusation comes from a notorious anti trump bedazzled hat wearing nutbag.

 

<Mod Edit>
show me!

 

<Mod Edit> Trump stated emphatically that he did not say what she said, and she is now backing down from the statement as we speak. Still want to run with it, go ahead, sounds like Trump has proof to back it up.

 

Trump said he can prove its not true, until he does it's safe to assume it is.

 

Got it, everyone else is a Liar but Trump

 

And until he does it's safe to assume he lied. He also said he recorded Comey and found Obamas real birth certificate lol

 

Really, thats funny, I would have said its not safe to assume that because, no way trump would make the claim without proof. He challenged her to make the claim again and she didnt. You think there might have been other people on the call?

 

Lol he makes claims all the time without proof...are you kidding??

 

If you claim Trump is a liar, then prove it. Or can I accuse you of things you said in the PM?

 

I thought it's against the rules to post a link from a paid for site?

 

He denied making the statement she claimed. Emphatically. She is now backing down and wont make the claim again. hmmmmm ...not really rocket science is it.

 

What kind of B.S. is this?

PRESIDENT TRUMP GIVES $25,000 TO FATHER OF FALLEN SOLDIER, MONTHS AFTER PROMISING TO ON PERSONAL CALL
BY ABC News Radio | October 18, 2017



(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump has sent a $25,000 gift to the father of a 22-year-old U.S. Army corporal killed in Afghanistan in June, several months after first making the pledge during a personal phone call with the family, the White House confirmed to ABC News.

The father, Chris Baldridge of Zebulon, North Carolina, told The Washington Post he appreciated the president’s call and was stunned by his generosity. “I could not believe he was saying that, and I wish I had it recorded because the man did say this,” Baldridge told the paper. “He said, ‘No other president has ever done something like this,’ but he said, ‘I’m going to do it.'”
