MIAMI-DADE, Fla. - President Donald Trump told U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson's widow Tuesday that "he knew what he signed up for ... but when it happens, it hurts anyway," when he died serving in northwestern Africa, according to Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami Gardens. "Yes, he said it," Wilson said. "It's so insensitive. He should have not have said that. He shouldn't have said it."

Oh! My! God! This call was made as the mother was at the flag-draped casket of her son, and caused her to break down and cry uncontrollably. She has now stopped crying. Her sadness has been replaced with much deserved anger.

Maybe Trump should stop listening to people saying that the doesn't call the families of dead service members, and just not call them.

This is a much different Donald Trump than the one who did interviews back in the 1990's. This is just an empty shell of what used to be a pretty intelligent guy.

"He knew what he signed up for..."? Trump really said that to a pregnant widow?
Damn. It's not so funny anymore.

What did Trump say that was factually incorrect? But this isn't the first time someone used the bones of their dead child to build a soapbox to spew their political agenda.

Jeez.... Just Jeez. I suppose you are next going to claim that the woman's tears were fake, as she was weeping over her husband's coffin. Just sick.

trump is indeed sick and on a spiral to something none of us want to happen. There just aren't enough GOP Senators with a spine. It may actually take his Family to solve this ...

Trumpsters will always justify what he does. It is almost an illness. I have a feeling that the DSM is going to have to come out with a new edition pretty soon.

Sure. It sounds insensitive. It obviously wasnt meant in a snarky condescending way but I get how it was insensitive...especially when said to his widow.

But using an insensitive remark...and the tragic deaths of soldiers as yet the latest issue to attack Trump for political gain? Someone is insensitive...and someone is a ****ing ****.

Yeah, the real problem is with Trump's critics. Not Trump.

Do you ever get tired of carrying water for this worthless asshole? He's the worst president in American history, and it's not a close contest. He's a disgrace. And anyone who defends him is worse.

"Mr. President and Mrs. Bush, my friend the vice president, and Dr. Biden, Mayor Rawlings, Chief Stiller (ph), clergy, members of Congress, Chief Brown. I'm so glad I met Michelle first, because she loves Stevie Wonder."

Do you think the people that today are ****ting themselves over a poorly chosen sentence of condolence **** themselves over that opening JOKE at a Funeral service for 5 fallen cops in Dallas?

Nah...because the same people that are ****ting themselves over this OUTRAGEOUS INNSULT are the same ****s that **** themselves over ketchup on a steak or Melania Trumps shoes. Worse...they are the same usual suspects that pretend to give a **** about the military...whenever it is convenient.

It was the despotic asshole trump who used Gen. Kelly's Son to get back at a Real President. The latest in the daily vomit that trump barfs up.

Let's cut to the chase here. trump showed ZERO empathy for Johnson's Widow because She and her Husband are/were Black.

trump's passion for hating Obama and Minorities is only so dangerously outdone by his passion to pull the Nuclear Trigger while tucked away safely in his Nuclear Bunker ...

Embarrassing for the Racist skkkumbag trump---I agree. It's always been about Race with the trio of trump, bannon and miller.

Versus you unleashing your usual verbal assault on posters in a personally attacking manner. And me without having to be censored like your two posts I quoted.

trump can't answer a simple question without using the dead as political props to attack multiple presidents. What a sick and deranged animal ...

Have you ever made an insensitive comment with the best of intention? Did that make you an embarrassment of a human being? Would it be insensitive to offer condolences to the widow of a cop by expressing pride in the fallen officer for doing a job he found honorable? Is it racist to tell the widow of a fallen fireman that her husband ran to danger when others ran away?

Bull****....its just another daily leftist ****show.

He's too consistent at screwing-up, Vance.

Everyday is another ****-show from him, in everything he does. Never a day off.

So yeah. It gets cumulative, and you lose tolerance for him and his crap. It's not just the lies. It's the whole package. If he was harmless and good natured, I might call him a buffoon. But rather, he's a mean prick of an asshole. And then add total incompetence on top of that. He has absolutely nothing of redeeming value, and that's rare in a human being.

I hope his voters like what they got. Because no one else does.

This is so inappropriate:

"I wanted to curse him out. I asked the family to give me the phone so that I could, but they wouldn’t," Wilson said in the statement.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/trump-told-widow-soldier-must-ve-known-what-he-signed-n811756

I am wondering too if this congresscritter has the widows permission to yap about the call, I sure hope so.
