Trump's latest blunder has been widely reported as his lowest act since his inauguration as POTUS

DONALD Trump is embroiled in a deeply awkward controversy after implying the widow of an American soldier killed in action is lying about a phone call with him.
Mr Trump’s reaction to Myeshia Johnson’s claims have been described as a “new low”. Some experts have said it demonstrates his “lack of emotional intelligence”.
Sergeant La David Johnson and three other US soldiers were killed on the border of Niger and Mali on October 4.

Trump has called the widow of the slain soldier a "wacky liar" after he made her cry by i) forgetting her husbands name and ii) saying that he "knew what he was signing up for" when he got killed

Kicking a war widow in the guts...nice

I still think he's an ENTJ, and that's where most of these traits come from.

This is his zillionth reported new low. There will surely be a new new low within a few days or hours. By election time they'll have stories of him kicking puppies and punching kittens.

There are a lot of things he said that are just as bad or worse.

If Trump really forgot the person’s name, that’s pretty bad.

He should listen to his advisers. And stop thinking he’s some omnipotent executive or something.

This might be a case of forgetting what his aide told him.

One thing about Ronald Reagan: he knew there were times when he didn't have a clue. But he was smart enough to delegate what he didn't know to others who do know. He was also smart enough to be able to give the impression that he is actually LISTENING to those within the general public. That's why he's called "The Great Communicator."

Trump should learn some lessons from him.

And I'm no Reaganite---trust me!

What about everyone else that goes or has gone hunting? I'm guessing it's a mighty big sport in the Outback.

There is a difference between trophy hunting and hunting for food.

Sport hunting is sport hunting, whether you eat the meat or not. And people don't spend hundreds of dollars on hunting gear, just because they need something to eat. The supermarket is considerably less expensive.

But are you saying anyone who has ever gone to a taxidermist is evil or whatever? Or does that just apply to the Trumps?

I don't happen to like hunting "for sport only." Though I wouldn't go around carrying signs to that effect.

It's a personal non-preference.

My family hunts,for food.If they harvest a deer with a nice rack they keep it.100% hunting culture here.I have helped dress out many a deer.No the supermarket is NOT cheaper.My ex,former Army marksmen killed many a deer with just a .22.Heart shot,drops them quickly.You don't need an expensive rifle,that's just ego.
No body here spends hundreds of dollars on hunting gear.All you need is a good gun,a hunter orange vest,and the knowledge.No scent block,no fancy stands,none of that.
If people harvest a bear they keep the hide,maybe skull and claws,but they also eat it.Wild hogs are a nuisance and can harvested most of the year.
I draw the line at if you eat it,it's cool with me.If you kill it just to say you did and have a trophy on your wall,well no you didn't need to kill it.

To make matters worse if you kill it because it's an endangered species, that leopard killed by Trump Jnr could have been part of a breeding program

There's an old saying outback, "if it moves shoot it", "if it's shiny dig it up" "if it's green cut it down"
Paul Hogan would have fitted right in with the Trump boys
