“He said, ‘Kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed,’” an emotional Kelly said. “‘He knew what he was getting into by joining that one percent. He knew what the possibilities were, because we’re at war. When he died, he was surrounded by the best men on this earth, his friends.’”

In this kind of thing, the wrong word, the wrong intonation at the wrong time, makes all the difference, which is why so many people avoid saying anything at all, they are afraid of messing up.

I think Trump messed up. He tried to do the right thing, asked for advice from the right person in how to do it, but was incapable of actually doing it because he has zero people or verbal skills.

Trump had no choice, in that job, he has to do it.
