To be fair that's not the same as thinking the President will gently caress it up. Kelly's right though imo, there's nothing you can do to comfort those families when you're the President. It's my opinion that Presidents in general have no business calling these people. Just pay out whatever benefits their deceased loved one is entitled to and leave them in peace.

You're talking about a president who botched the ultimate political lay-up that is stating "Nazis are bad." If Kelly has half a brain, there's no way he wants that nimrod calling people who just lost their loved ones.

How does somebody even listen into a call involving the president of the united states? Was she with the family when the call came through.

Trump is a terrible president, but just listening into that call is a massively lovely thing to do, let alone making the contents of that call public.

Yeah Kelly very politely said Trump didn't know what he was doing and had been advised against making the calls, it sounds like he and congressional hat lady agree on the fundamentals of what happened

It sounds like the congress lady is a friend of the family and had met the soldier through a mentoring program when he was a teenager, it doesn't seem that weird to me that they listened to the call together

No, Kelly said he gave honest advice to Trump about making these calls, which he felt were extremelty difficult. But that Trump made all of them anyway, which tbh I probably wouldn't do

Yeah I get it, Trump says and does a lot of dumb things, but Kelly saying "There's nothing you can do to ease the burden of these families" is not the same as saying "Sir you're gonna royally gently caress this up."

I just don't know where people are getting that Kelly said something like the latter statement to Trump when Kelly himself is saying it was the former.

Yeah you would never say the second one, Trump would just get pissed off and gently caress things up even worse. You say the first one and hope he takes the advice to heart

Possibly. I think it's more likely that considering Kelly's son, he was giving honest advice. No family that lost a loved one wants some politician calling them to act like they're deeply aggrieved by their loss and I'm betting Kelly knows that from personal experience.

The best part is that he didn’t even send the $25,000 until he got called out this week. He’d promised it to that family in June
