Trump: "I've spent time with grieving mothers who've lost their children"

From what?

Anyone have a clue wtf that line in his hostage video is supposed to suggest?

When has he spent this time? Does he just, in general, spend time with grieving mothers in his travels? Have they lost their children from some common cause?

It's this bizarre phrase which evokes emotion, but wtf is he talking about?

Is it supposed to suggest he hangs out around emotionally vulnerable women consistent with his predatory view of women generally?

Like, "I spend time with grieving mothers who've lost their children... because they'll let you do anything."

They had to have gone over this statement carefully, so this fragment is there for a reason, but wtf is it supposed to mean?

Pure speculation, but maybe to make him seem more empathetic that he's "comforting" women. MANative Oct 2016 #7

That's what he is talking about. Mothers who lost their 30 year old (give or take) mercenary for hire

Someone with the ability to edit that statement said, "You are NOT going to do BENGHAAAAAAZI."
