A Gold Star family in North Carolina received a $25,000 check from President Trump dated the same day The Washington Post published a report that they were still waiting for it.

ABC 11 reports that Chris and Jessie Baldridge, whose son was killed in Afghanistan in June, received the check and a letter from Trump on Monday.

"I am glad my legal counsel has been able to finally approve tis contribution to you," Trump wrote. "Enclosed is a check for $25,000 - I hope this will make things a bit easier, but nothing will ever replace your son, Dillon. He was an American hero."

Trump told the family that he would "write you a check out of my personal account for $25,000," Chris Baldridge told The Washington Post last week.

Don't you love how he throws his staff under the bus every time he speaks.

1. "I am glad my legal counsel has been able to finally approve tis contribution to you,"

So it was Trump's lawyer's fault not Donald's? OK I buy that.

17. Donald Trump gives great deference to the professional judgment of legal experts

in all matters big and small, hence the unfortunate delay

[GusBob]

2. He WAS an American hero?

Pedantic GusBob thinks "He is an American hero" is the proper tense

[Demtexan]

3. I bet writing that checked hurt like hell.

Now he needs to steal some more money.

11. Quick, pass the tax credits!

Says Donald tRump

4. Don the con is out 25K because of an idle promise.

Signing that check had to be painful for him.

""We are so moved and grateful, and we promise to use the money to honor Dillon's legacy," Jessie Baldridge said."

Good for the Baldridge family !

5. Make sure it's actually a check, and not a one of those loans

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. Lol.

I shouldn't laugh...

[JohnnyRingo]

6. What a coincidence

How did the newspaper know Trump was going to mail that letter that day? I suspect it's the crooked media working with the Deep State trying to make Trump look like an unsympathetic jack ass.

Nice job!

12. proof obama really is spying on him

[Turbineguy]

15. A microwave oven

in every room!

[Doreen]

7. He does not need no damn legal council to approve of

HIS personal check. What a scumbag. Oh, Dillon "was" and American hero? No, you fat jiggling piece of blob, he IS an American hero.

8. Islamic or black gold star family gets insulted, white gold star family gets $25,000

Late, but still.

Will he be sending $25,000 to Khizr khan or Myeshia Johnson?

Yeah, didn't think so.

14. The interesting thing about that is that there was no nasty tweet to them as he

was writing the check. He was shitting all over the Gold Star Family as they were burying their husband, father, son but no horrid attacks on a family that was complaining about a broken promise (and I have no problem with that). trump's racism trumps. he is so obvious and his crowd eats it up.

[unblock]

18. excellent point!

[not fooled]

10. Hey folks, give the con some credit

At least he didn't fraudulently backdate the check to make himself look better.

[C Moon]

13. God that's sleazy. He makes me nauseous. So vile and full of lies and hate!

[Achilleaze]

16. republican "family values" never fail to disappoint

What can they expect, having picked a freaking five-time Draft-Dodging Casino Hustler to be the role model for their children. Sad.

[HAB911]

19. too stupid to back date it?

TOO FUNNY

[Gothmog]

20. The only reason that this man got the check was due to the Post's story
