Trump offered a grieving military father $25,000 in a call, but didn?t follow through
 

President Trump, in a personal phone call to a grieving military father, offered him $25,000 and said he would direct his staff to establish an online fundraiser for the family, but neither happened, the father said.

Chris Baldridge, the father of Army Sgt. Dillon Baldridge, said that Trump called him at his home in Zebulon, N.C., a few weeks after his 22-year-old son and two fellow soldiers were gunned down by an Afghan police officer on June 10. Their phone conversation lasted about 15 minutes, Baldridge said, and centered for a time on the father?s struggle with the manner in which his son was killed ? shot by someone he was training.

?I said, ?Me and my wife would rather our son died in trench warfare,? ? Baldridge said. ?I feel like he got murdered over there.?

Trump?s offer of $25,000 adds another dimension to his relations with Gold Star families and the disclosure follows questions about how often the president has called or written to the parents or spouses of those killed.

The Washington Post contacted the White House about Baldridge?s account on Wednesday morning. Officials declined to discuss the events in detail.

Trump offered a grieving military father $25,000 in a call, but didn?t follow through

This is what deplorable looks like.

so .... that is the going rate ....

Can we pay that for Donald junior's life ?


NOTE: Trump only sent the check today once the WP published the article ....

Another fake story, nobody cares :2 cents::2 cents:

The money was already in motion you idiot.

Sure , Trumpsky ...

Was sent months later ... once the FAKE news ( lol ) were to publish the story ...

Again, it was ALL about TRUMP , to be more biggly then previous presidents ... and you trumptard gobble it up .... lol :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Money seems to of been sent after someone showed the Posts article to Trump, but then they fucked up further by sending that to the wrong person.

And these idiots are in charge of the nuke codes?

50/50 chance the check now bounces?

Evil Donald. Thanks, Washington Compost, for exposing it.

Because spontaneous thought of 25k donation happens the same way you decide about nuke launches.

Really? Do you have a legit news source to back that up? I did some searches and I found no stories where trump send the money. I did find lots of stories where he failed to pay the money.

I'm pretty sure if trump gave the parent of someone in the military who died it would be front page news, both then and also now with what's going on.

And still no proof trump paid anything. Again.

I don't mind some cynicism ...

Why would he make this promise and not keep it?

The check was sent, even CNN is reporting it. You guys are terrible at spotting fake news. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:pimp

Because it is a pattern of his .... Make the promise to make HIMSELF biggly, not send because he is a liar and hopes to get away with it ( which he would if he hadn't brought up that he was calling ALL gold star families )

Sure, AFTER the Washington Post ran with the story, like << check is in the mail >> yesterday late afternoon ....

One thing Trump was right and didn't lie: He could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single supporter .

Gold Star family from Zebulon not angry at President Trump for late promise

ZEBULON, North Carolina (WTVD) -- The grieving family of a fallen soldier says it harbors no anger nor resentment toward President Donald Trump for being late on his offer to donate money.

Jessie Baldridge, whose 22-year-old stepson Cpl. Dillon C. Baldridge died in Afghanistan, confirms the president offered $25,000 of his own money during a condolence call last summer.

"We just thought he was saying something nice," Baldridge told ABC11. "We got a condolence letter from him and there was no check, and we kind of joked about it. We didn't take to social media and didn't complain."

That check, according to White House officials, is now in the mail.

"There is a substantial process that can involve multiple agencies anytime the President interacts with the public, especially when transmitting personal funds," a White House official said Wednesday. "The check has been in the pipeline since the President's initial call with the father. The President has personally followed up several times to ensure that the check was being sent. As stated earlier, the check has been sent."

99% chance an Obama loyalist at the White House found out about the promised cash just as it was about to be sent and tipped the libtard media off that it hadn't been sent yet.... thus making it look like the libtard media caused Trump to finally send it.

... to the wrong person.

Update: The family actually received the $25,000
