I'm not sure there is any proof.

What Trump supposedly said -- "he knew what he was signing up for" -- can be taken two ways.

#1, it's crass as hell to say to a grieving mother.


#2, he knew what might happen in the military, but he signed up anyway, he was very brave.

God, I hate offering any kind of defense for Trump, but I think one could argue that #2 is what he meant.


I've just quit fighting with ignorant white wing Trump lovers on things like that. It's just not worth it, and there really are two ways of looking at it.

If a 71-year-old man hasn't learned how to talk goodly by now, he's never going to speak properly. But let's say, arguendo, that you have discerned what Trump "really meant"; why doesn't Trump follow up with, "I didn't mean it the crass way, I was commiserating with the widow"? Instead, he denies ever saying what he actually said, and hours later it gets walked back by the Pooper Scooper Squad at the White House.

It's hard to overstate just how cruel and painful this whole thing has to be for Myeshia Johnson. We would all be better off had Trump never picked up the phone.

7. Where does this nitwit get the idea that Myeshia Johnson was "forced" to put the call on speaker?

Sgt. Johnson's mother and his two children (ages 2 and 6 I believe) were in the car. It seems far far far more likely Myeshia Johnson wanted the call to be on speaker so her mother in law and children could hear the president offer his condolences (not knowing, of course, that Trump would be a horse's ass).
