They would try to make things better, not worse.
It's called sociopathy. Trump has the worst personality disorders you can possibly have. He's very sick.

No good deed goes unpunished.
Bush had too many to call.

Obama had more sense.

Trump thought he'd score some political points. Obviously, it's working with his base.

Everyone else is disgusted.

They spoke to people plenty. All presidents since the advent of telephonic communication have, at some point, called a few widows/parents of deceased servicemen/women.

This is classic Trump. I'm pretty sure this would all have long gone away if he'd just been more gracious when criticized.

When the initial criticism hit, a simple "making this type of call is never easy and if my comments to Mrs. Johnson in any way upset or offended her, I deeply apologize. That was certainly not my intention. I am grateful for her husband's service to this country."

End. Of. Story.

He looks at all his dumpster fires and throws gas on them.

This is beyond bizarre.

Well folks, there you have it. Donald Trump is now DIRECTLY accusing the widow of deceased hero La David Johnson a liar.

Any Trump supporters care to take a stab at defending Donald on this one?!

Here's the thing. We all know Trump is lying. But even if he wasn't....even if Trump WAS telling the truth about knowing Sgt Johnson's name (he's not), why would the Commander in Chief, the President of the United States, feel the need to speak out about it!? Is calling the widow of a soldier who died a liar really a classy thing to do? He can't just let it go, take the high road, and let her grieve peacefully without the POTUS calling her a liar?

That was a trick question, of course he can't. Trump is scum.

Trump should probably not call anymore. There are a lot of low-lives who will exploit this political climate against him.

I hate Trump, but I haven't been a fan of this media frenzy. That said, Trump just keeps digging. And digging. And digging. The media wouldn't pay they story half as much interest had Trump responded as you suggested above. Is it too much to ask him to be professional and courteous?
Yes, that is asking far too much of Trump. He's incapable of it.

Any bets on whether Trump will call her out on twitter?

Will Kelly step up to the WH press podium and accuse her of nefarious deeds?
Thanks for sharing this. It's good to hear from her. God bless her...

Good question.
He implied the widow's account is wrong and she's lying.

This is not confirmation. Confirmation would be a recording. Was there any recording? People hear things differently and they hear what they want to hear, especially under great emotional stress.
