Trump had four names to remember. FOUR. I'm sure they were written down for him for the condolence calls. Granted, the man has a short attention span and has to have things diagrammed for him, but even he should be able to connect four names with a short, written-out condolence speech. And if he can't manage that, then we've all got a lot more to worry about than just this one, of many, incidents.
Also, you may want to stop smacking yourself in the head. It isn't helping.
Don't need the tape, I've seen it...
Here is the transcript:
Quote:
The only way he remembered my husband's name is because he told me he had my husband’s report in front of him and that’s when he actually said La David.
Based on what I hear it sounds like in typical Trump fashion he stumbled with with the name initially but she says he had the report in front of him and did say his name.
Trump tweeted that he said his name from the beginning, without hesitation.
Mrs. Johnson said he didn't remember it and then stumbled as he read it.
So who you gonna believe, eh?
She said he said it...it's in the transcript....even it was the first time he looked at the file, I have never heard a guys name start out with "la" it would throw many off....I've heard many women but not a man.
Saying he knew what he was signing up for , to me it meant the man was brave enough joining up knowing that anything could happen to him at any time , I saw nothing wrong with it, don't know why trump thought he should deny saying it in the first place , just wish he hadn't .
Moderator cut: trolling
Maybe the other wives are satisfied with the explanation they've been given on how their husbands were ambushed and killed in Niger. Maybe they don't want to get embroiled in the nastiness that they've seen swirl around her. Who knows?
Mrs. Johnson wants to know why her husband was missing for two days before they found his body.
She wants to know why they refused to allow her to look at his remains.
Trump tweeted that he said his name from the beginning, without hesitation.
Mrs. Johnson said he didn't remember it and then stumbled as he read it.
So who you gonna believe, eh?
I don't have all the details of what was said exactly and neither do you. Is it possible he accidentally called him David instead of La David for example initially or perhaps cell phone cut out? Trump isn't the most polished politician so wouldn't put it past him.
Plus, US policy isn't to immediately recover soldiers whatever the cost, but the US does have an obligation to recover everyone eventually.
There are simply times when it is wrong to endanger troops trying to rescue or retrieve fallen comrades, or ones who are caught behind enemy lines. Where it is possible to do so, then the attempt will be made. When it is not, it won't.
You cannot expect rescue mission from an unknown hostile territory to be perfect. Honestly speaking, 48 hours does not sound out of ordinary.
When an op fails, there will be an investigation underway. So this whole "They intentionally left him behind" accusation is irresponsible. (pretty ignorant too.)
