Trump to widow of Sgt. La David Johnson: 'He knew what he signed up for'

Kelly betrayed his morality to be Trump's lapdog, publicly attacking a congresswoman who is already receiving death threats from Trumpscum. She listened to what was said because she was in a car when the widow put her phone on speaker.
 
Without hearing a recording of the entire call, this whole controversy is a story about nothing.

Lulz. Trump, and Trump alone is responsible for politicizing this.

I mean, he criticized her for politicizing it. Trump politicized Kelly's son dying, so...

Oh no you don't.
Trump called to console a widow.
And some Rhinestone Cowgirl politicized it.

Pompous fits you well

Your side....

Screwed up Lybia.

Screwed up Egypt.

Screwed up Syria.

Left the ambassadors consulate building unsecured with a incompetent British security agency.

Never removed the troops from Iran/Afghanistan as promised by the "wonder boy"

Screwed up with Russia (Yellow cakes anyone?)

We have no place to go but up from the last run by the Democrats.


Ya'll talk ****, and never back it up. Just as fubared as the repubs.

Ah. I see. Ignore the fact that the guy you despise SO much took over in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Depression (we lost 700K+ jobs in Jan. 2009, remember), and at the same time was handed two very unpopular wars...but by the time Obama left office, our unemployment was down below 5%, and we had had positive private-sector job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH SINCE SEPTEMBER 2010...by FAR the longest stretch in all American history, and a higher percentage of the American people had health insurance than ever before. And oh yeah, he cut the deficit (not the debt, but the deficit) by over 50%. And he did all that despite facing the worst degree of political obstruction faced by any president since the Civil War.

Have fun trying to find another president that did as well as Obama did with the economy, given the dire situation on the day he took office, and who faced the same degree of political opposition. FDR faced a worse economic crisis...but he didn't face the same degree of political opposition. Oh, and find the last Republican president who cut the deficit at all (much less in half like Obama did). Actually, I think Nixon might have...but no Republican president after him even made a half-assed effort to do so.

Look - every president does some things right and does other things wrong. You know this. I'll happily point out to you the things that Bush 43, Bush 41, Reagan, and Nixon did that were good and right. Heck, I can even point out a couple things Trump did that were good and right! But are you objective enough to point out the things that LBJ, Carter, Clinton, and Obama did that were good and right? If you can do so, then as far as I can tell, then - if you consider yourself a conservative - because most people on the Right simply cannot seem to allow themselves or each other to give anyone on the Left credit for doing anything right at all, ever. Why? For the same reason that Pravda held such sway over the Soviet people - like Fox for the Right, Pravda was the only source of news for the Soviet people.

Now she's going after General Kelly, an actual Gold Star Father.

"John Kelly's trying to keep his job. He will say anything," says @RepWilson in response to Trump's staff chief who ripped her for disclosing details of controversial call with soldier's widow. "There were other people who heard what I heard." Kelly emotionally defends Trump’s call to military widow - POLITICO

No, I'm not wrong and the best bit is, you don't even know why that is. That clown you worship got this whole ball rolling.

Sad how short some memories can be.

LOL! Your understanding of economics is, well, bracing, to say the least. It's almost on par with your historical illiteracy.
 
What a low life.

She's a real dirtbag. She's calling the Niger ambush, "Trump's Benghazi", which sounds like an admission of wrong doing in Benghazi.

Nice blather!

Your own party helped create the housing bubble.....................biggly and hugely. Give Barney a hug for me.

Wonder boy never went above 3% even after coming out of a recession. He kicked the can down the road with another 7 trillion in debt that our kids will have to pay for.

Ah. So "he knew what he was signing up for" is a very presidential way of consoling a widow...

...and pointing it out is nothing more than base politicization?????

I guess we can see now why the Right was so eager to believe that all the women who accused Trump of sexual predation are liars, but that every woman who accused Weinstein was truthful and exposed the hypocrisy of the Left. It all boils down to "Thou shalt never accuse the Right of doing anything wrong ever, but always believe any accusations against the Left!" And ignore the fact that while we on the Left immediately ostracized Weinstein (he'll never work in Hollywood again) just like we dropped John Edwards back in 2004...the Right ignored all the women accusing Trump and sent him to the White House!

Really, which side is being more hypocritical?

It's actually quite simple: with the possible exception of Libya, he/the dems didn't do what you're claiming they did. You saying that they're so won't magically make them so, as much as that might upset you.

That, and economically, things radically turned around for the better under Obama.

That's objective reality.

Okay, so General Kelly is a lapdog in your opinion. As far as attacking the congresswoman, he was being a lot nicer than she deserved. Even if she didn't urge the widow to place the call on speaker, she didn't have to make a political spectacle of it, and yet she did. And to what end? As General Kelly said, can't we keep a conversation between the widow of a fallen soldier and the president sacred? Is nothing sacred anymore? It's disgusting.

You keep countering without your own explanation of what went down? That is not debating.

Explain to me where Obama's great plans led the US out of the recession, and then explain to me why we had the slowest ever growth rate coming out of a recession? Hint........small businesses led the way out of the recession by hanging on by dear life.

And, you are still dodging the Democrats own contribution to the housing bubble and how it could have been avoided.

Your reply proved what I stated in the previous comment: "Look - every president does some things right and does other things wrong. You know this. I'll happily point out to you the things that Bush 43, Bush 41, Reagan, and Nixon did that were good and right. Heck, I can even point out a couple things Trump did that were good and right!

A crucial sign of a truly objective person is the ability to refer to someone whom he despises, and still be able to point out what that particular someone has done right. I'd hoped that you'd be able to prove your objectivity - after all, you've written lots of evals, and some of them were probably for junior sailors you didn't like...but instead, you chose to prove my point, that American conservatives of today can't seem to allow themselves to give anyone on the Left for doing anything right at all, ever.

I really was hoping for better from you.
 
Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

So what is the bottom line here?

Personally I am certain that Trump had no purposely ill intent, malice or disrespect in mind when he decided to make that call and when he made his remarks. Having said that I still believe that the result was that the call still came across as insensitive and I really think it is not by accident or error or even calculation. It was just a true reflection of the man. This was not the first in what is a very long list of insensitive, callous and disrespectful manifestations by Trump, because he is all that.
Had the call been made by anyone who has demonstrated a modicum of compassion, decency and care, it would have been appropriately deemed a loss of words in a situation where there are never adequate words.

IOW, nothing that President Trump said would pass the anti-Trumpers's muster.

WFT are you babbling about? Can you make a rational intelligent post for once? Can you refute what I said?
 
If you all haven't realized by now, Trump supporters will defend or excuse anything, and I mean anything, that he does.

Partisan Trump hating hearsay.

Insult Gold Star parents...eh they started it. Denigrate Sen. John McCain's service record...eh he's no hero, hero's don't get captured.

I know of no conservative on these forums or elsewhere who defended Trump in regards to the primary comments about McCain's military service. McCain as a senator in my opinion is an "ass" However I honor his military service. as for the goldstar family at the crooked Hillary convention, Trump certainly could have handled that better, however Hillary was politicising the death of that soldier.

Blatantly insensitive towards the widow of a fallen soldier...eh it's true, he knew what he was getting into.

While it may have been taken that way, their was nothing insensitive about Trump's call. Any man or woman enlisting in the US military knows what they are getting into. They know there is always a chance of the **** hitting the fan. Yet they enlist anyway. Trump was not only paying the fallen soldier a compliment, he was saying pretty much what Chief Of Staff John Kelly advised him to say. As you probably are aware, Kelly is not only a former General, he is also a goldstar father.

All that from a guy who used 5 deferments to escape serving in Vietnam. Then he lies about Obama calling families of fallen troops. There is no low the Orange One won't stoop to, or his legion of sycophants won't accept.


You know it's really amusing how the left suddenly cares about draft deferments in regards to Vietnam, considering that during the Vietnam war, the left was quite busy referring to soldiers as "baby killers".
 
Re: https://www.local10.com/news/politics/trump-speaks-to-widow-of-sgt-la-david-johnson

We have reason to believe that the president failed to give empathy to a grieving widow.

It's certainly possible that her politics interfered with her interpretation, but i have much less reason to take President Trump at his word than a grieving widow and a congresswoman.

Must be that Trump is the republican who humilated your candidate in 2016.
