“I was so nice. Look, I’ve called many people. And I would think that every one of them appreciated it. I was very surprised to see this to be
honest with you”

I was so nice. I was so so so nice. I’m always so nice. I’m the bestest at being nice. I’m sure a lot nicer than Obama! I would think that every one appreciated my calls. No, I can’t say for sure they did, but that’s certainly what I would think, and it’s what I would think that counts! Otherwise it’s FAKE NEWS!

I’ve called many people. Frankly, if they aren’t part of Breitbart, I don’t remember much of those calls at all, but my logs tell me that I called them and I was REALLY NICE! (It says that in my logs.)

I was surprised about all this, to be honest with you. Not that I’m honest with you that much, but hey, let’s reach, OK?

This is cruel and heartless. This is probably the lowest Trump has gone. Who is he to know how a grief stricken widow interpreted his call. He has no shame, no empathy, no capacity to feel pain,really no heart. Leave Sgt. Johnson’s family alone.

Make.Him.Stop.

Is there any record of trump ever speaking the actual names La David Johnson or Myeshia Johnson – or even Frederica Wilson? Publicly he uses terms like the “young man” “lovely wife” “that congresswoman” -By refusing to use their names he reduces them - makes them invisible so he can define who and what they are.

ETA: Kelly conspicuously didn’t use their names either.

ETA: Oh yeah forgot – “Wacky Wilson”

Wait, are you implying that Sgt. La David Johnson doesn’t also go by the name Sgt. Insert Name Here?

“And by the way, I spoke of the name of the young man, and I — it was a really — it’s a very tough call. Those are the toughest calls,” Trump said.

“They are so tough, I never make them. Now, watch this drive.”

He claimed the call “was a very nice call.”

I have a dog with a bigger vocabulary than Trump has.

I was so nice. Look, I’ve called many people. And I would think that every one of them appreciated it.

Trump needs to just shut the fuck up.
This is not a favor or honor he is doing these people. He is servering the role of expressing sorrow and gratitude on behalf of our country for their sacrifice.

Our monstrous President doesn’t understand this in the slightest. He keeps attacking to defend his ego and is dumping salt in deep wounds of gold star families.

He needs to shut the fuck up.

I always run the other way when someone says “let me be honest with you“.

My visceral response is there will be lots of times when they won’t be.

Maybe this moron might want to actually do something instead of attack people for no reason and lie lie lie lie lie.

He acknowledges everybody by name. Often preceded by an affectionate adjective.

He should stop lying. He’s not mentioned anyone’s name in the days since so he should just be quiet.

A conservative friend of mine on Facebook is now trotting out that Frederica Wilson saying that “empty barrel” is a racist term, and the fact that it’s not, puts the whole business back up Wilson.

And, yet, he still doesn’t say Sgt. La David Johnson’s name. If he knew it he would have said “I said Sgt. Johnson’s name” rather than “And by the way, I spoke of the name of the young man”.

Note that he doesn’t even mention Sgt Johnson’s name in the article.
