Trump to widow of Sgt. La David Johnson: "He knew what he signed up for"

[ProudModerate2]

CNN Video.

President Trump called the families of troops who lost their lives in the Niger raid. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson says he (Trump) told the widow of Sergeant La David Johnson, "He knew what he signed up for." She talks to CNN's Don Lemon about the call.

The Congresswomen said she was in the car when Trump called, and she was "livid" when she heard (on speaker phone) what the President said. She asked the family to give her the phone, because the Congresswomen "was going to curse him out." The family did not give her the phone. (I wish they would have. trump deserved someone to tell him that, once again, he was being an assh**e !)

really this is the biggest who cares story in Trump's entire presidency.

We know Trump's personality. can we stop expecting things from him? there's no reason for this to be the headline of the New York Times and not the failure to extend CHIP, the attempts by Alexander-Murray to help insurance markets, Pruitt's deplorable and vigorous tenure as EPA Administrator, ect. ect.

That'd require the media and the Democratic establishment to have interest in topics of substance, rather than stylistic issues and obsessing over Trump's boorishness. They think this is some great shock to the country and will chase everyone away from Trump; it's the same strategy the Clinton campaign used last year to such great effect. It doesn't work, people don't care, and it does nothing to truly turn people against Trump and the GOP. All these "sophisticated suburban Republicans who're appalled by Trump's incivility" don't really exist in large numbers; they're liberal fantasies and delusions. But, I guess harping over superficial, everyday Trumpian sociopathic nonsense is easier than making a case for a lackluster, tried-and-failed, neoliberal policy agenda nobody cares about.

This would make sense if Trump's poll numbers were higher.

I know some on the left like to believe that this stuff doesn't matter and it is all about the economics (lol what nonsense...). But stuff like this is hurting Trump. He has alienated everyone who isn't a part of his base and a big reason why is his lack of tact and discipline. 

Picking fights with NFL players and sports analysts, lying about your predecessor etc. This stuff is becoming tiresome. People are tired of hearing about this guy everyday and it is reflecting in his poll numbers.

His numbers are still about as high as they were or higher than his favorables were close to election day when he defeated Hillary Clinton. Stop.

Are you trolling ?
You know that is not true. Go and look at the numbers (and graph) on RCP's poll average.

And as expected, the President undercuts Kelly and it is his own damn fault.

Yep.
trump just cant let it go. He doesn't understand that as he continues to throw mud in every direction, he is dishonoring the dead soldier and further creating chaos for the grieving family.
trump the Orange-Haired Clown.
