@realDonaldTrump Everyone doesn’t have to agree with my dad or like him, but I do ask you to be decent and respectful. If you can’t do those two things, be mindful. We only said goodbye to him almost 7 months ago. (1/2)

@realDonaldTrump Even if you were invited to my dad’s funeral, you would have only wanted to be there for the credit and not for any condolences.

Bridget, I am so sorry for what you have had to endure. I respect and appreciate your father's service to our country throughout his entire life. Thank you for sharing him with us -- may he rest in peace, and may his memory be for an eternal blessing.

Thank you for articulating what so many of us feel, and I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard the first couple of years after loss can be.
