Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

From the actual NBC News story.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...is-son-n811446
Quote:
A White House official told NBC News on Tuesday that Obama did not call Kelly after the death of his son. But a person familiar with the breakfast for Gold Star Families at the White House on May 30, 2011, told NBC News that Kelly and his wife attended the private event and were seated at first lady Michelle Obama’s table.

A former senior Obama administration official disputed Trump's initial claim on Monday that Obama didn't call Gold Star families, calling it "wrong."

"President Obama engaged families of the fallen and wounded warriors throughout his presidency through calls, letters, visits to Section 60 at Arlington, visits to Walter Reed, visits to Dover, and regular meetings with Gold Star Families at the White House and across the country," the ex-official told NBC.
But once again the White House is trying to change what Trump said, which was that Obama didn't call any of the families, not one specific family (General Kelly's) - and it was from an unnamed official - I thought Trump said that shouldn't happen or that information from unnamed sources couldn't be trusted;he tweeted
Quote:
"Whenever you see the words 'sources say' in the fake news media, and they don't mention names...." Trump tweeted. "it is very possible that those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers. #FakeNews is the enemy!"
