Trump: As I watch this soldier's casket being lowered, I can't help but notice his wife is now single

The following is a transcript of President Donald Trump's remarks during a recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery during a military funeral.

Also, just out of curiosity, you're single now, right?

Wait, wait, that came out all wrong. What I mean is, you have to be strong for yourself and your children, and I know that won't be easy without a man around. Or woman, I guess... I really don't know your personal preferences, although that would be kinda hot.
