Just got off phone with Rep. Frederica Wilson, who overheard Trump's call with widow. Said she wanted to curse POTUS out for making her cry.

Wilson was in limo w/ widow for POTUS call (on speaker), said Trump's “he knew what he was signing up for” made widow break down in tears.

Trump may not have known that a Democratic congresswoman was listening to his conversation with widow.

Wilson says it was clear to her Trump had no script. "He was talking off the cuff,” she recalled, “saying the same thing over and over."

Wilson says “I wanted to curse him out,” meaning Trump, for making widow cry, but Army sergeant holding phone wouldn’t let her talk to POTUS

Of course, this is one congresswoman’s witness account. The White House is neither confirming nor denying, saying such calls are “private."

You might ask why Rep. Wilson was in car with widow? She’s close to the family. Johnson, the soldier, went through her mentoring program.

He tortured that poor woman

7. He is a sadist

Plain and simple.

4. Maybe he shouldn't make these calls.

Maybe the bereaved people are better off without hearing from him.

5. So when he lies about this one. At least a number of people can

say: "We all heard you motherfucker!". Not that matters to this worthless sack of orange jizz. But still. It's good there's witnesses.

8. It is probably just as well that the Sgt. didn't allow Rep. Wilson to get on the phone with Trump!

[not fooled]

9. Geez

Give the MFer a script. Letting the vomit out of his brain that passes for speech is never a good idea. I guess he wouldn't stick to a script anyway.



That poor widow.

10. THANKS for explaining about the Congresswoman

being there. I know some idiot will try to make an issue of it and now I know what to say to them.

11. This is why its better that Trump doesnt call anyone

Basic humanity is not his thing. He probably like people more that don’t die in combat
