President Trump on Wednesday revived the controversy over his handling of a condolence call with an Army soldier’s widow, refuting Myeshia Johnson’s claim that he did not seem to remember her husband’s name and calling into question the memories of others who heard the conversation.
Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before departing for a fundraiser in Dallas, Trump said he called Army Sgt. La David Johnson — who was killed after an Oct. 4 ambush in Niger that is still being investigated — by his correct name “right from the beginning.”
“One of the great memories of all time,” the president said, pointing at his head with his left hand. “There’s no hesitation.”

After Trump first called Myeshia Johnson more than a week ago to express sympathy for her husband’s death, the president has waged a back-and-forth war of words with the pregnant widow and others who listened in on the call.

Trump boasts that he one of the great memories of all time, except when someone asks him if he just said that. Still, he probably gets a kick out of just pouring it on the widow of a slain soldier.

In Trump U. Lawsuit Deposition, Trump Can’t Remember ‘World’s Greatest Memory’ Boast
Donald Trump claims to have a world-class memory, but it certainly wasn't on display during his deposition for a lawsuit over Trump University. "I don't remember," Trump told lawyers 35 times during his December testimony, which was released on Wednesday.

The attorney for those who claim Trump University was a scam quizzed Trump about boasts he had made about his supposedly steel-trap mind.
"You've described it as being one of the all-time great memories, right?" the attorney asked. "I have a good memory," Trump said in a rare display of understatement.
"'One of the best in the world' is what the reporter quoted you as saying," the lawyer pressed. "I don't remember saying that," Trump answered. "As good as my memory is, I don't remember that, but I have a good memory."
