Obama went to Connecticut, went into a room, learned family members names, brought them in, offered condolences, and repeated, 26 TIMES! He did it with class and without a mess up.

I would thing there are very few people on this earth who could make it through that day, all we ask of tRump is not to be a complete fuck up.

On a call you have an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper, with names written extra large.

They are bad people and incompetent.

Just don't call. Send a nice letter and a token of appreciation from the White House. It's not complicated, well it wasn't for any other administration.

Our house once received a turkey at our house from the White House, because my husband assisted starting electronic services to the White House. A bit ago, it's just how simple it is. Like , I don't know, human behavior should be when other is hurting.

Not offering condolences to a grieving widow and family is unacceptable. It is outrageous. He is a blight on our country.
