Summary: San Antonio Spurs coach, Greg Popovich, called Trump a liar about his comments on the recent events in Niger. He says this because a couple of days ago, Trump was asked at a press conference, why Trump hasn't said anything about this. Trump replied by saying he has been writing letters to those families who have lost their loved ones in combat in this event and previous events that previous presidents didn't respond too. Greg believes this was a complete lie and went on to say that Trump is a disappointment and a shocker to the nation.

Analysis: I agree with him because previous presidents like Bush and Obama have contacted families who have lost loved ones in the service of their country. It is unbelievable that Trump would go this far to say that they didn't because he probably didn't even think to contact them yet since he hasn't said anything until this point. He was probably too busy worrying about "any son of a *****" kneeling during the flag saying that it disrespects veterans when he himself shows no apparent regard on showing appreciation or support for those who have lost loved ones in service of the country. It is completely despicable.
