*The so-called President was asked, in a press conference,
about the deaths of 4 soldiers in Niger a few weeks ago. The question was asked
because most Americans did not know that U.S. soldiers were in harm's way in
Niger.
Here is the actual ENTIRE question: "Why haven't we heard anything from you so far about the soldiers
that were killed in Niger? What do you have o say about (OFF-MIKE)?"
PLEASE NOTE that the question did not include any query about whether he had called the families. In fact, he did not answer the actual
question which was a question about the situation that led to the deaths of the
soldiers or the situation in Niger itself with which most Americans were not
aware of.
But now look at part of the so-called President's answer
which he volunteered without being asked: "...if
you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make
calls. A lot of them didn't make calls. I like to call when it's appropriate,
when I think I am able to do it."
It was the so-called President who IMMEDIATELY politicized
the situation. No one had asked about whether he had called the families but he
got defensive anyway. This defensive reaction is a part of his unfitness.
But it gets worse. He does finally eventually call the wife
of one of the fallen soldiers, LaDavid Johnson's wife, Myeshia Manual. "In the call, Trump told her, “He
must have known what he signed up for,” according to an account of Rep.
Frederica S. Wilson (D-Fla.), who was riding in a limousine with the soldier’s
family when the president called and heard the conversation on speakerphone.
Wilson said Trump’s comments made the young woman cry...When she actually hung
up the phone, she looked at me and said, ‘He
didn’t even know his name.’ That’s the worst part,” Wilson said Wednesday
on CNN’s “New Day...”
OK, anyone can have a tough day, and perhaps the so-called
President had North Korea on his mind. But wait! There's more! He needs to put
his signature on this story - BY LYING!
From WAPO: "Trump
pushed back in an early-morning tweet Wednesday, saying Wilson “totally
fabricated” her account of the phone call — and that he has proof... I didn’t
say what that congresswoman said; didn’t say it all. She knows it,” Trump
said when asked about the exchange by a reporter.
"(Rep.) Wilson, who met Johnson while running a
mentoring program for black youths in Miami, stood by her statement, saying she
was not the only person who heard the call. In a Facebook message to The
Washington Post, Cowanda Jones-Johnson (the mother of the fallen solider) said
that she, too, was in the limousine, and that (Rep.) Wilson’s account of the
conversation was accurate.
President Trump did disrespect my son and
my daughter and also me and my husband,” Jones-Johnson said."
Though he ignored the death of the 4 soldiers in Niger for
days and days, saying nothing, when he was finally asked about it he chose,
instead to bash President Obama; and then lie about what he said when he
finally did call the family of one of the soldiers. But this does not stop the
hypocrite-in-chief and his supporters from bashing football players who protest
racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. Some patriot!
The so-called President is unfit for the office of President
of the United States.
