This doesn't even dog whistle the base--it just kind of puts off everyone and again raises questions of Trump's suitability for the office (or civilized society). He acts like he is still a reality show host and everyone in the country is one of his contestants. He just doesn't get it.



I wonder why a Democratic congresswoman just happened to be in the same car as the widow when Trump made this call???

That media is unpatriotic, a detriment to our country, and the main reason there are so many who erroneously bash President Trump without any validity. . .just so they can appear to be part of the unethical, immature, and irresponsible anti-President Trump club.

IF President Trump made any indication that the soldier knew what he was signing up for, he was correct. Anyone who enlists in the military knows they may end up fighting for our country . . and if they enlisted just to get free education or a VA loan for a house, then they were only fooling themselves.

She knew the young man his entire life. She’s a family friend.

Perhaps he should have stayed silent.
Perhaps you should realize that words can be taken wrong.

Maybe, just maybe IF our President Donald Trump said that, he was referring to soldiers do know what they are signing up for. Referring to his death was not in vain.
Do you not think soldiers know this, OnOurWayHome???
Maybe this lady is just an angry anti Trump person and saw an opportunity to dig in?

I do wish peace for her and their children.
I think she is over reacting.

Exactly!!
Just think if all this anger and resentment was actually put towards something productive?!
Wow, that would be great for ones self and this country!

If he is a draft dodger, then he will get a nickname, too. I'll think of something creative, although nothing beats Captain Bonespurs.

In a thread about Trump, his supporters take their deflection to another level and bring up someone who hasn't been president for almost 20 years.

La David Johnson was affiliated with the foundation that the Congresswoman had founded.

Why wouldn't a Rep who knew the fallen soldier accompany the widow to pick up a military casket?

Trump says he has 'proof' so let's hear it. The problem is he lies so much and has falsely claimed he has 'proof' before.

"I have proof, too: this man is a sick man," Wilson said Wednesday morning on CNN's "New Day," responding to Trump's tweet. She added that Johnson's widow "broke down" after her call with Trump, saying the President "didn't even know his name."

"I have no reason to lie (to) the President of the United States with a dead soldier in my community. I have no time, I have no motive," she told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day," noting that she was the elementary school principal of Johnson's father and mentored the sergeant...."

The solider who was killed was her constituent.
