La David Johnson's life was lost fighting in a winless war. Trump once again shows his disrespect to our men and women in the military. |
If this was Barack Obama doing this, I bet you money that the conservative agitators would have been going on and on about it. But since is Donald J. Trump, I guess this is just the norm now.
Remember we're not supposed to talk about gun violence in the United States. If We complain about gun violence in America, conservatives would often talk about black on black violence. They were saying now is not the time to politicize any mass shooting. They would say that people like me and others will be trying to take away your guns. They would engage in this repetitive nonsense about how things happen in Chicago but not in the rest of the United States.
Of course you know the Republicans in their conservative allies will continue their bullshit complaining about NFL players taking a knee. The NFL players are taking a knee to police brutality and racism. However the message gotten lost by conservative outrage. Conservatives will automatically assume that for every athlete or entertainer that takes a knee, they're against the military and the police.
Did you know that four American soldiers died in the country of Niger?
Trump's choice of words infuriates a women who lost her husband in a militant strike on her Green Beret husband. |
Well four American green berets died in an ambush attack an Al-Qaeda affiliated group. Trump didn't respond to the deaths. He was too busy shooting the links with Rand Paul.
Trump has golfed more than any president ever. Mind you I don't really often mention him as a president. But as commander-in-chief, his job is to call the widow or mother and father of of slain soldier.
Yesterday, Trump and Mitch McConnell did a presser and a reporter asked about his reaction to the deaths of Four soldiers in Niger.
Trump replied in his usual fashion by saying that he wanted to give the families some space. He said that he doesn't often get the time to respond to everybody who died. Trump even referred to Obama when he mentioned this nonsense.
Trump claimed that Obama never cause the families of slain soldiers. Well of course them junk food media had call his ass on that.
So Trump decides call the widows.
Meyshia Johnson, the widow of LaDavid Johnson was angered by the call.
Trump called her and talk to her for about five minutes. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (D-FL) had Johnson at her office so she could take the call.
Trump is said to have told Johnson that her 25 year old husband "knew what he signed up for.... but when it happens it hurts anyway."
Johnson who is pregnant with her husband's third child was so outraged over this. She was there when the remains of La David came to Miami. The iconic photo of Keyshia embracing the coffin shows the real pain that a family member feels when they lose a loved one who died in the line of duty.
Bryan Black, Jeremiah Johnson, and Dustin Wright were also killed in Niger.
Trump also tried to be despicable by trying to lump Obama into this. He claimed that he did not calling John Kelly when his son, Robert was killed.
Obama did call his widow and talked to Kelly. The former general now chief of staff to Trump had a table with the Gold Star families. He sat with Michelle Obama.
