yes, i do not have a problem with the crying per se (her husband died), but it seemed insincere on the part of Trump, who threw his generals under the bus by not owning the incident.

Even an avowed Communist thought it was a powerful moment:
Less than an hour after Trump honored the widow of a slain NAVY Seal, the Democratic commentator suggested that the commander in chief had officially begun to look the part.
"He became President of the United States in that moment, period," said Jones, after the evening's most emotional point was replayed by CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"That was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics," Jones added."
Thom, you do understand that the "remarkableness" of the moment was that Trump actually showed class and couth, and was presidential. That's like saying that it's remarkable that you, a librarian, can find a book in the stacks.
Obama loved to kill Muslims, but he did it quietly and with minimal loss of US lives. Trump's pending ground war in Syria looks to be a bit more messy.
It's also estimated to cost about $1 billion a week. Hey, what do you know? He's seeking a $54 billion increase in military spending. That neatly covers the costs, huh?

From someone who knows a
From someone who knows a thing or two about losing a husband and raising their children on her own....
For those lamenting Carryn Owens' "exploitation," let me offer some thoughts. I'm not asking you to like Trump or credit him for that moment
But what you can & should do is credit her. Maybe a SEAL wife who's been through, God willing, worst life will give her, can handle Trump.
Maybe a SEAL wife knows exactly what she's doing & doesn't need you to explain it to her. Maybe she needs things you don't know much about.
Maybe a widow raising 3 children knows how important it is to keep his name & memory alive, & that this moment is bigger than Trump or you.
Maybe she knows one day she will show them this video & tell them the President of the United States & all the nation honored him.
Maybe she thinks it might teach her children the strength & courage of their dad (& mom!) to watch her stand up tall even when it hurts.
Maybe all that is more important than your angst about which president is involved & how. Just bc she's crying doesn't mean she's a victim.
Maybe, probably, very likely, she's a badass. You and your kids are in my prayers, Carryn. Do what you gotta do. Proverbs 31:25

I keep thinking that I'll get used to how low some of you can go. I don't. And actually, that's a good thing.
