I question how many families he has offered this to and the circumstances.
Has he shown a racial bias in this?
These families no matter who they are or their political beliefs deserve respect for the sacrifice they have made in surrendering their loved one.

It's sad that stuff like this gets put in the media. He is the President of the United States, our Commander in Chief. He may never be politically correct but the majority of the U.S. voted him into that position.
We can't keep putting him down like this, it makes our entire country look bad. If he said something wrong, correct him tactfully and let him learn. For people in the political hierarchy to be bashing him is embarrassing to me as an aspiring politician.
Also if he did forget the 25k initially, sure bring it up to someone. However realize that he's a busy man with a crazy amount of problems to deal with on a daily basis. Sometimes things get forgotten
"Alyssa Mastromonaco, who served as a deputy chief of staff under Obama, was among those to immediately lash out at Trump.
'That's a f***ing lie,' she tweeted. 'To say President Obama (or past presidents) didn't call the family members of soldiers KIA - he's a deranged animal.'"

The majority didn't vote him in, and the majority can see him for what he is. Political correctness is also known as diplomacy, and he is incapable of it. It is the media's job to bring transparency to public office. If he is embarrassing to our country, it is based on what he has said and done on his own accord. A presidential term is only 4 years long. We shouldn't have to be teaching him basic human decency. He has said that he never apologizes for anything, even when he's wrong. Alienating everyone he meets doesn't help our country, and he's responsible for that. Stop treating him like an infant.

Well said Sgt Garza. One correction though. The majority of the U.S. didn't vote for Mr. Trump. The majority of the states did. Thank God for the Electoral College. He is still the best of the two evils that were provided to us for this term.

No it doesn't make the country look bad if citizens criticize their leaders. Give me a break if Hillary had won people were threatening to literally revolt. To get their guns and "march on Washington" and take the White House.
If he's such a "busy man" why does he have sooo much time to comment on Twitter? AND to comment on things like SNL and the NFL and other inconsequential things? Yeah he's sooo busy. Smh.

I don't understand why he would offer $25k in the first place. I'm sure these Soldiers had SGLI and the death gratuity. Why would POTUS offer something that was already covered?
