President Donald Trump defended his conduct on a condolence call Monday, after Gold Star widow Myeshia Johnson claimed on Good Morning America that the President couldn’t even remember the name of Johnson’s husband — Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed during an ambush in Niger.

“I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!” Trump tweeted.

Twitter was outraged at Trump for disputing Myeshia Johnson’s account. Here’s a sampling of the reaction.

1. This is so disgusting it gives me a literal stomach ache.

What has happened to this country?

2. No imagined slight is too small for "president" Buttercup

to get his XL-size Pampers in a wad.

3. Meanwhile, his flying monkeys are all over social media defending him and vilifying the widow.

So far, I have seen claims that Mrs. Johnson:

--is a paid liberal pawn
--willingly letting Rep. Wilson exploit her
--is going through the stages of grief, and is in the "anger" stage, and saying things she wouldn't otherwise mean.
--is an ingrate.
--"is crying for herself and not her husband she’s making it about her... lady grieve about your husband he represents his country signed on the dotted line to put his country first🇺🇸. She has no right demanding answers he worked for the USA Government. "


Dear Leader really loves the troops and would never say such a thing. But, Clinton! But, Clinton!

These people are fucking deluded, and as mentally is as he is.

4. This whole fiasco is just sickening and I lay the blame solely at the feet of Trump and

Kelly. These men are a disgrace to the country and to the troops.

5. Why is anyone surprised? Look at how he treated the Khans.

Gold Star families are like anyone else to him - praised as long as they're on his side; vilified if they aren't.

6. Great tweets about trump attacking a gold star Widow

7. On a positive note GoFund is up to $700,393

I also noticed donations by, among others:
$30,000 - Miami Dolphins Foundation
$14,000 - Sean Hannity

I read most of the tweets supporting the Gold Star family of Sgt. La David T. Johnson and they are overwhelming. This was the best response, IMHO:

If you find yourself score-settling with widows, ask your doctor if being president is right for you.
