“I opened it up and read it, and I was hoping to see a check in there, to be honest,” the father said. “I know it was kind of far-fetched thinking. But I was like, ‘Damn, no check.’ Just a letter saying ‘I’m sorry.’ ”
White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said: “The check has been sent. It’s disgusting that the media is taking something that should be recognized as a generous and sincere gesture, made privately by the President, and using it to advance the media’s biased agenda.”
I’m actually surprised at the story though. At first I was like, well obviously that’s a sensationalistic headline. Trump wouldn’t directly just say, “I’m going to give you $25k,” but I guess that’s exactly what he did. How weird.
Too lazy to read myself, but is this a check from DJT or the USA? Could be some issues if the latter.

so 25k is the cost of a life now? also seems a bit unfair unless trump is going to do this for the families of every single soldier KIA.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
It really is sad what the liberals will get butthurt about. "Yeah, we'll see if he actually sends it." I'm surprised I haven't seen the more common "only 25 grand? That's like nothing to a supposed billionaire" whine yet. It's like bird watching around here, only I'm spotting different kinds of liberal butthurt.

The whole thing...the awkward phone call/letter writing challenging, the words used, the offering of money, the not paying the money until called out...it's just weird....why would anyone defend it?
