Fallen soldier’s mother: ‘Trump did disrespect my son’
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.
His widow cried that Trump didn't even remember his name. I guess he prefers the soldiers who aren't killed.
wow, such powerful alpha-maleish statements, hero.^has most probably voted for trump. LOLAnother case of "never let a tragedy go to waste"? The word "confirm" seems strangely out of place in this context. It seems that an angry democrat politician decided that the President disrespected the fallen Soldier and not the mother. Apparently the mother who apparently received the condolence call "stood by an account" created by a democrat politician. This is typical of the lengths the left will go to to try to create a scenario that doesn't exist. Actually it's the democrat politician, Frederica Wilson (D-Fla), who is guilty of disrespecting the fallen Soldier for political purposes and not the President.
It's a standard Democrat MO to throw a false story out there that is made out of whole cloth. They realize that 90% of the electorate will not investigate its veracity on its own, and therefore almost invariably there will be a segment of the voters who will buy it, even though no evidence has been presented.
Absolutely. No American of sound mind would vote for Hillary Clinton.
The White House is already backtracking. About that "proof" Trump has less than 10 hours ago...
White House says Trump did not record call to soldier's widow
Well, he's in a league of his own on this stuff. Again, it wouldn't surprise me for a moment, but I don't have proof he said it.Well I think he said it because it sounds exactly like the shit that comes out of his fat ass. I don't think he meant any disrespect, or that he had any ill will towards the widow. JFK could talk off the cuff on stuff like this, and the thing was people might not like what he said, but he'd tell it like it was. (he was also a womanizer and drug dependent) Reagan was a very empathetic man, and expressed himself well. but he'd either have a staffer write him what to say, or he'd put aside everything else on his mind and ... concentrate for god's sake. (and he used fake homilies that verged on racism)Yeah. His opponents know that, whether there is actually any proof he said something or not, he sure as hell COULD have said it, and that's the corner he's chosen to paint himself into. That's the way it goes. For supposedly being so media-savvy, he sure knows how to walk into an uppercut.The funny thing is that - again - Trump is ensnared in a communication fuck up of his own making. He didn't need to brag on how he contacted all the families. I'm pretty sure Obama made an effort, and W is personally pretty wrecked from the damage he did ... at least to the extent that he lives in reality.
.

Without an exception every veteran posting on any board I was on and I was on many all said that what Trump said was proper. That it was not only an acknowledgement of every service member's bravery knowing that they could lose their lives by volunteering but then acknowledging the pain that comes despite that knowledge.
Well, one version says that he coldly inferred "well, he knew this was dangerous", and another says that he spoke of the bravery of those who serve. It's also entirely possible that it was some combination therein.Well, he's in a league of his own on this stuff.

EVERY veteran? Really? Because I'm a 20 year vet, and I think that what Trump said was pretty disrespectful.
Yeah, everyone in the military knows that being killed is a possibility with serving, and on occasion, when things are going like crap, we tell each other that we knew what might happen when we signed up, but that is more like black humor, and doesn't belong on a condolence call.
What Trump should have said is that he was liked and respected in his command, that his service was appreciated and that he was a good soldier and will be sorely missed.
Not that he knew what he was getting into when he signed up.
Like I said, I understood what the possibilities were when I signed up, and I did it anyway because I wanted to travel. But if I had died on active duty, saying something like that to my family may have gotten someone punched.
bla blubber blub. sell that shit somewhere else, hero.it isn't what he wrote. as per the rules of this board, one must have comments. and nowhere in his comments did he mention the widow. Talked mother, then wrote about the widow like he'd been talking about the widow the entire time. blowed up.from the OP, you insufferable dumbass:his widow? LOLSounds like she would have said that no matter what Trump did.
Everybody but Trump is lying. His track record reflects that.
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.”
This is beneath the presidency and just pure wrong. Trump is a pig.

His widow cried that Trump didn't even remember his name. I guess he prefers the soldiers who aren't killed.
Where did the widow stand behind anything? Her mother is the one standing by the account that yet another person related. You know what they do with "testimony" like this in a court of law, Aaron? The judge bangs the gavel and says "Sustained" when the defense objects. You know why? BECAUSE IT'S HEARSAY!!!
Dunno if there is a recording or not. Chances are that the family didn't record anything because they were in the limo on their way to a funeral, and I kinda doubt that Trump had the call recorded either.
However....................
After all the hubub this story has generated, I'd be willing to bet that if Trump makes another condolence call for a service member who dies, someone will probably record it.
And if it's like this one, well................Trump may have serious problems on his hands.

So, now we've come to believing a billionaire politician over a grieving mother because Trump has built such a cult of personality around himself that despite all evidence to the contrary he's just that honest of a guy.
They believe a Nasty puddle of Orange scum Donald Trump a man who 24 hours earlier lied about Presidents Bush and Obama to excuse his lack of Patriotism and respect for dead soldiers ...they believe an Orange Mother Fucker and daughter fucker like Orange Trump yupSo, now we've come to believing a billionaire politician over a grieving mother because Trump has built such a cult of personality around himself that despite all evidence to the contrary he's just that honest of a guy.

You were a titless WAVE and your conduct on this forum denigrates veterans just about every time you touch your keyboard.
The greatest danger you ever faced was a papercut!
