4. Betcha he wouldn't refer the husband of someone in his class as "your guy" when talking to her/him.

That's disrespectfully patronizing coming from someone in his position.

3. And he didn't know her name.

Probably was told, but not important enough to remember.

So, to all other vets out there, and active military, and families, survivors, widows, who are still supporting this piece of stinking putrefaction, just one question. Why?

"On the tarmac, Johnson was met by his widow, Myeshia. Pregnant with the couple’s third child and with their eldest in tow, Myeshia did what too many military spouses have done since the dawn of the Global War on Terror: She bent over her late husband’s casket and wept."





Maybe she will get a personal call or visit from President Obama & Michele.

8. Trump is the only one who did not feel that woman's pain

Cold, cruel & soulless.
That's who was selected to represent America?!

No one should be unmoved by the tearing of this woman's heart for the pride & love of her life.
We All Feel It.
Why can't he?
Gezuz what is wrong with him?

10. I feel so much pity for that family and at the same time so much hate for the man

who aggravated their pain. It makes me sick to my stomach. I can't understand how someone can be so heartless and so cruel to someone who is grieving. How can you do that to a person who is at their lowest? He is an absolute sociopath.

I wish him nothing but misery, failure, hatred and pain. I hope he dies in agony and that people spit on his grave.

BBC headline: Trump was insensitive in call to widow - soldier's mother

See: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41673380

(snip)
The mother of a US soldier who was killed in action has backed a congresswoman's claim that President Donald Trump showed insensitivity during a phone call to her son's widow.

Are lying, too? I dare him. I double dog dare him to contradict them! Imagine telling them they don’t feel the way they feel. Sadly, I can imagine that from tRump.
