After Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, spoke out for the first time on Monday about her call with President Donald Trump, the President quickly responded on Twitter, claiming that he said her husband’s name on the call “without hesitation.”
I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!

During an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Johnson said that Trump seemed to not remember her husband’s name on the call.
“I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband’s name,” she said. “And that was hurting me the most because if my husband is out here fighting for our country, and he risked his life for our country, why can’t you remember his name?”
Johnson also backed up Rep. Frederica Wilson’s (D-FL) account of the call. Wilson said last week that Trump told Johnson that her husband “knew what he was signing up for.” Trump has repeatedly accused Wilson of lying about the call, even though several people have confirmed her account.
When told by another adult that a conversation wasn’t respectful, every other adult on the planet is smart enough to say “I’m sorry you feel that way, again I offer my condolences for your loss and the thanks of your country for your sacrifice”
Every other adult.
You don’t get to unilaterally declare a conversation respectful, dotard. Respect is intrinsically a two-way street. But you’ve never interacted with a peer or equal in your life (or maybe since your father died), so you actually don’t understand this concept.
Of course. trump didn’t want to keep us in suspense about how long until he called Ms. Johnson a liar, so he did it within minutes of her interview.
It isn’t a business meeting trump. You’re supposed to be COMPASSIONATE. Look it up
“Believe me, nobody has more compassion than me. I have the best compassion. People say it’s the best. Really great compassion.”
Trump: I am from NY. We have a different definition of Respect, especially for The Blacks.
Kon Jelly: The widow is lying. I heard Trump say only nice things to her.
