Mother of fallen soldier: 'Trump did disrespect' my family

The mother of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in an ambush in Niger earlier this month, said President Trump did disrespect her family, despite Trump's insistence that remarks about a phone conversation he had with Johnson's widow were "fabricated."

"President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband," Johnson's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, told The Washington Post.

(D-Fla.) said Tuesday she overheard Trump tell Johnson's widow that the fallen soldier "knew what he signed up for ... but when it happens it hurts anyway."

Wilson told CNN that she was in a car with Johnson’s widow, Myeshia, during a trip to meet her husband's casket when Trump called. Wilson said Myeshia was "very distraught after the call."
The Post asked Jones-Johnson, who was also in the car, if Wilson's description of the conversation was accurate.

He can't do it, it's beyond him. Pence (as much of an odious guy he is) could do a much better job.

But to expect a narcissist to do this - well, it's beyond his ken.
