Fallen soldier's mother: Trump did disrespect my son
Source: Wash. Post
The mother of a soldier killed in an ambush in Africa said Wednesday that President Trump "did disrespect my son" with remarks in a condolence telephone call a day earlier.
Sgt. La David T. Johnson's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, told The Post on Wednesday that she was present during the call from the White House on Tuesday to Johnson's widow, Myeshia Johnson. She stood by an account of the call from Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (D-Fla.) that Trump told Johnson's widow that her husband must have known what he signed up for.
"President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband," Jones-Johnson said in an exchange with the Post.
Trump denied Wilson's account in a Twitter message Wednesday. He said he had "proof" that the exchange did not go as Wilson had said. He did not elaborate, but the claim again raised questions about whether the president tapes calls and conversations.

(8,754 posts)Not that many of them respect him now. The office, probably, but the man? I doubt it. And him crapping on veterans and the fallen? He's screwed with that constituency. W, at least, had brains enough to keep and grow that flank. But Trump is dumber than "Dumbya"

(1,770 posts)Has the PigFucker EVER released ANY tapes of his conversations to support what did or didn't happen? Or does he just claim he has "proof" and then moves his pale, fat, wide, sagging, pimply ass on?

(51,550 posts)He was on the phone, he could have just read the script they handed him of the standard things said in these sort of calls. But no.
And now he is at war with another Gold Star Family. Unbelievable.

(6,974 posts)Kay, Halperin, you two need to go have a cup of shut the fuck up.
That insensitive, racist, ignorant, treasonous, asshole KEEPS politicizing and setting shit off because he CONTINUES insulting former (Sen. John McCain) and current members of our military unlike him who was a 5 time, deferment-having, chicken hawk who had non-existent bone spurs in whichever foot he had them in (He can't even remember which foot. I guess because there were no bone spurs period).
I'm so tired of these so-called journalists like Kay and Halperin who have the damn NERVE to try to lay blame also @ the feet of Rep. Wilson (D-Fla.) who they say politicized that failed conversation of a riskie-installed PIG who KEEPS shit stirred up, politicized and racial. WhoKeeps trying to start a race riot, WhoKEEPS lying almost everytime he opens his big, fat treasonous mouth. I guess the mostly African-American NFL players taking a knee just need to "shut up" and accept the fact that there are rogue policemen who'll continue murdering them--even if unarmed--like big game animals
I guess Kay and of course Halperin think that representative Wilson who'd known Johnson (One of the few Black Green Berets) since he was a youngster needs to just "shut up" and stop "politicizing" things because tRumputin needs/deserves all of the damn airtime to continue politicizing events, things & people and making the political climate more toxic as he continues doing. Yeah, allow him to insult Sgt. Johnson's Mom and especially his grieving, 6 months pregnant widow Myeshia.

(59,501 posts)only to back down when any tapes with subpoenaed. It is hard to believe that either Myeshia made this up immediately after she hung up or that she, her parents and the representative ALL colluded to make up this story.

(23,937 posts)1. call everyone else involved liars
2. call the press reports "fake news"
3. engage in blatantly atrocious public behavior
4. MSM hops around madly trying to unravel Trump's latest jackass maneuver, using normal presidential behavior for context where it simply doesn't apply
5. subject successfully changed, "Mission Accomplished"
6. rinse and repeat (rinse cycle optional)
if he doesn't die or get impeached, he's going to use this strategy to win re-election with Putin's help. i think it will work for him.
