WASHINGTON—Striking a note of optimism as the prospects for a protracted conflict with Iran grew likelier, President Trump on Friday urged Americans to bear in mind that they’ll no longer have to pay their son’s cell phone bill if he dies at war. “You may be grieving at first, but, believe me, you’ll be smiling when you see how much less you’re shelling out every month,” said Trump, adding that parents should bear in mind upon viewing their son’s flag-draped casket that they’ll not only save on their base family plan, but also enjoy lower taxes and fees, a cost reduction that will be reflected on the billing statement immediately following their child’s violent death. “If you’re lucky enough to lose two or more sons in the line of duty, you can really save a bundle. And you also have the option of extending savings to another relative by inviting them to fill the slot in the plan that your son occupied before he was killed. With savings like these, who’s gonna want this war to end?” Trump went on to remind Americans that they can also stop paying thousands in college tuition once their daughter dies receiving an unsanitary illegal abortion.
