Just when you think it can't get worse, Donald Trump ups the ante and says or does something totally unexpected of a president.
His tactless comment to a pregnant grieving Army widow has left
people stunned. It took president Trump nearly two weeks to reach out to
Myeshia Johnson after her husband, U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson, 25,
was killed in a deadly ambush in Niger on Oct. 4. When he finally
reached out to her on Tuesday, his words to her were far from
comforting."He knew what he signed up for … but when it happens it hurts anyway," Trump told the widow.
Rep. Frederica Wilson said she was with
Myeshia Johnson in a car headed to Miami International Airport on
Tuesday afternoon to meet the body of Johnson's late husband Sgt. La
David T. Johnson when the president called. Wilson said she heard part
of the conversation on speakerphone and she was sure he made those
insensitive remarks.
Americans criticised him for the comment which they described as
offensive. But President Trump denied the claims, calling it "total
fabrication".
