When Donald Trump lied about contacting nearly every family member of soldiers killed in the line of duty, the White House did not even have the list of the soldier's names.

In the hours after President Donald Trump said on an Oct. 17 radio broadcast that he had contacted nearly every family that had lost a military servicemember this year, the White House was hustling to learn from the Pentagon the identities and contact information for those families, according to an internal Defense Department email. 

The email exchange, which has not been previously reported, shows that senior White House aides were aware on the day the president made the statement that it was not accurate — but that they should try to make it accurate as soon as possible, given the gathering controversy. 

Not only had the president not contacted virtually all the families of military personnel killed this year, the White House did not even have an up-to-date list of those who had been killed. 

The exchange between the White House and the Defense secretary’s office occurred about 5 p.m. on Oct. 17. The White House asked the Pentagon for information about surviving family members of all servicemembers killed after Trump’s inauguration so that the president could be sure to contact all of them. 

Capt. Hallock Mohler, the executive secretary to Defense Secretary James Mattis, provided the White House with information in the 5 p.m. email about how each servicemember had died and the identity of his or her survivors, including phone numbers. 

The email’s subject line was, “Condolence Letters Since 20 January 2017.”

Jesus Christ to you even believe this?

Well of course you do, because this is just another example of Donald Trump lying about shit to the media, and his staff scrambling to somehow try and make it seem true.

We have seen this over and over again, starting with the size of the crowds at his inauguration.

However it certainly appears that somebody on the White House staff is tired of covering for this orange tinted asshole.
