Keep 'em scramblin'

White House staff should be getting hazard pay for future medical expenses. Mostly mental.
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.

[...]

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 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.
  Roll Call
S.O.P. The White House is constantly behind the eight ball with Trump.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
