They would try to make things better, not worse.
and then there is Trump!

I sure never thought he would do this.

Myesha Johnson was getting ready to step out of the car to pick up her husband's body. Trump could have known this as the call was put through to the Master Sergeant who was in the limo with them.

Anyone with an ounce of compassion or a dram of good sense would have asked him to convey his condolences to the family and that he would call back at a better time.

Oh, but no.

When the reporter reported what Wilson said about the call, Trump could have said, "I'm so sorry for their loss. Know this is a hard time. If there is anything I can do, ..."

Instead he said he had proof that Wilson was a liar. (So far, no proof.)

Then he sent Kelly out to smear her with a lie.

Just when I think it can't possibly get any worse, Trump accuses Sgt. Johnson's widow of being a liar.

SMH.

No Trump is calling the widow a liar right now.

This is my favorite post from the Army Times Facebook page in regards to this widow and whole fiasco:

What makes you think this very young widow with 2 1/2 babies is interested in a political career as the quote you provided suggests? That's kind of ridiculous when you think about it.

Nothing mentioned at all about political career. Political ambition, clear difference.

It's obvious this widow, along with and egged on by the congresswoman, is using this incident to slander Trump in the worst way possible (disrespecting a military KIA and his wife/family and with racial overtones). It is without a doubt a politically motivated way to further discredit Trump.

How is it that another black widow, the sorry of which was posted here, offers a completely different account of how Trump was kind and thoughtful towards her, her hero husband, and their kids when he called to offer her condolences?

She's probably just trying to put one foot in front of the other trying to get through her days. Unreal.

What an offensive, condescending post.

Myesha Johnson is not Loreen O's "Honey."

Mrs. Johnson is demonstrating far more grace and dignity that the POTUS.

Plus, she has a right to know what happened to her husband.
