Twitter thread: " Let's talk for a minute about "he knew what he signed up for.""

There's no "tone" or "inflection" or "context" that makes what Trump said acceptable.

The OP is right. No one says it. It is a "tone deaf" statement from a non-military President with even less exposure to that environment than most - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 18, 06:53 2
- It's blame shifting. "This soldier died but it wasn't because of anything *I* did" - Reagen Oct 18, 06:55 1
  - No doubt. I'm sure there is a great deal of that into *why* someone says something like that. It tells a great deal of the underlying thoughts - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 18, 06:56
his saying he didn't say it and the Dem is lying. He has proof! SAD! -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 06:52
of course he knew what he signed up for, does not mean you have to actually say that. -- nm - groiny Oct 18, 06:49 6
- Trump is just a man who is incapable of suitable human empathy and interaction. - Will Hunting Oct 18, 07:12 5
  - it is a much different time today than it was when he started having any success. - groiny Oct 18, 07:24 4
    - he was too much of an asshole for Wall Street to deal with. Think about that. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 07:27 3
      - I imagine things might be a bit different if twitter and TMZ existed 30 years ago. - groiny Oct 18, 07:29 2
        
        He was the late 80's version of TMZ. He's somehow failed for 35 years and trended up every time. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 18, 07:37
        
        it's got an expiration date in business - eventually he had burned enough people that no one would deal with him. - Reagen Oct 18, 07:32
The only thing that gives me pause about the comment is if his next sentence was "And despite that, he was willing to commit himself......" - volnelk Oct 18, 06:45
