While Trump has attacked Gold Star families and caused a war widow to cry, in another phone call, Trump offered $25,000 as condolences to the grieving family.

The check didn’t arrive until a few months later, after the Washington Post ran a story that made the offer public for the first time. The family received the personal check a few days later, which was dated the same day as when the story was released. The White House explained that “the check has been in the pipeline since the president’s initial call with the father,” and that there were just several processes that needed to first be navigated.

Nevertheless, the family received their promised check.
