Fallen soldier’s mother: ‘Trump did disrespect my son’

"The mother of a soldier killed in an ambush in Africa said Wednesday that President Trump "did disrespect my son" with remarks in a condolence telephone call.

Sgt. La David T. Johnson's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, told The Washington Post that she was present during the call from the White House on Tuesday to Johnson's widow, Myeshia Johnson. Johnson's mother also stood by an account of the call from Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (D-Fla.) that Trump told Johnson's widow that her husband “must have known what he signed up for.”

"President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband," Jones-Johnson said.
Trump lashed back. He denied Wilson's account in a Twitter message Wednesday. He said he had "proof" that the exchange did not go as Wilson had described. Trump did not elaborate, but the claim again raised questions about whether the president tapes calls and conversations." WP

What kind of monster disrespects a Gold Star family?

How could he have done something so cruel!
And I heard that one excuse he tried was that his staff didn't provide him the protocol for a phone call like that.
How much protocol does one need to express condolences without insulting the victim!!!

When will the republican congress say publicly that Trump is incompetent?
What more will it take.....?

Incompetent doesn't come close to covering it. Unqualified to be President? The man isn't qualified to be a human being!

Trump is a cowardly draft dodger who politicizes everything, to the delight of his idiot base. Fools like Whell will be along shortly with false equivalencies about Obama, or some other such nonsense. Disgusting.

Here is an interesting take from Trump administration regarding trade deals, more importantly why they are bad.

On a page titled “socioeconomic costs of a weakened manufacturing base,”

Quote:
“higher abortion rate,” “lower fertility rate,” “increased spousal abuse,” “lower marriage rate,” “higher divorce rate,” “higher crime,” “rising mortality rate” and “increased drug/opioid use.”
Guess there are no limits as to how low this administration will sink to justify their actions.

Only thing not included is "higher illegal immigration". Wonder how they missed that?

Sen. McCain has been on a tear lately, pointing out the stupidity of all things Trump, including the Uber biased “reporting” at Fox “News”.

I think this is an example of his inept lack of empathy as a sociopathic predator.
