“The unruly feel they have a right to act badly & to make another’s life so miserable they can’t stand to go to another works party again”

“President Trump keeps shooting himself in the foot regarding domestic and worldwide affairs”

“The latest insensibility regarding his disregard for the way he deals with the families of war dead”

“A callous Presidential call to a grieving widow of a US soldier killed in NIGER”

“Trump said, “He knew what he was getting into””

“This soldier gave his life for his country – he acted bravely and courageously as his regiment commander confirms”

“This soldier’s duty was to his country first and foremost; his sacrifice was his life”

“No President, who has soldiers under his command and where he is the commander-in-chief, should ever utter such an insensitive remark”

“How does that statement fall on the heads of all the US soldiers serving their country around the world?”

“It does not allow for personal pride to enter in, to serve one’s country with courage and determination to fight for justice”

“These soldiers should be regarded for the potential sacrifice they are all prepared to give”

“Not that it necessarily becomes a certain factor that they would die”

“If that was the case, there would be no serving soldiers entering into the US military at all”

“It is important that all commanders-in-chief become consoler-in-chief, a reassuring voice in times of national distress or tragedy”

“It is a skill that successful politicians learn early, sadly this does not apply to Donald Trump”

“His insensitivity is now well renowned”

“He has shown himself up with celebrities, sports stars, major companies, prominent journalists & members of his own party”

“Together with parents of a Muslim American soldier killed in Iraq – he just keeps digging himself into ever bigger holes”

“Yet Mr Trump likes to boast of his Presidential accomplishments”

“His record so far is bereft of legislative victories, which includes his tried attack on abolishing Obamacare”

“He cares nothing for the people, only what he can obtain for his own self-interest”

“He will go down in history as the worst US President of his era”

“The American people will hold their heads in shame, as to their folly to vote this man into The White House”

“It will take a decade for America to resume any kind of respect from the rest of the world”

“At this time, they are falling!”
