Donald Trump kept attacking a Democratic Congresswoman who was in the car with the widow of a fallen soldier when he placed a condolence call to the Gold Star widow which made the pregnant, grieving woman “cry.” Following that, the former reality show star called the Gold Star widow a liar when she confirmed a Democratic Congresswoman’s account of what took place during the call. And then on Wednesday, Trump said during a gathering at the White House that he has a better recollection of his condolence call to the widow of a U.S. soldier killed in Niger than she does.
Trump told reporters that he used Sgt. La David Johnson’s name “right from the beginning” of the call and with “no hesitation,” a talking point he’s repeating from one of his tweets.
I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!

According to Trump, he had a chart with the fallen soldier’s name in front of him during the call and added that he has “one of the great memories of all time” while he pointed to his own head, according to The Hill.

Trump’s great memory seemed to have failed him recently when he said he spoke to the ‘President’ of the U.S. Virgin Islands – of which he is the president.
Myeshia Johnson said that Trump did not remember her husband’s name during the call.
“I was extremely nice to her. I’ve never seen her, I’ve never met her, but she sounds like a lovely lady. I was extremely courteous, as I was to everyone else,” Trump said.
“I respect her, I respect her family, I certainly respect La David. Who, by the way, I called La David right from the beginning,” Trump added.
Rep. Frederica Wilson’s version of events was backed up by the Gold Star widow, who said recently that Trump was disrespectful to the Johnson family.
Trump and White House chief of staff John Kelly disputed those claims, but later, it was found that Kelly told a whopper of a lie in order to kiss the alleged president’s a**. Kelly made a false accusation about Wilson, and a video released just after his speech proved that he lied.
Sure, sounds legit. A 71-year-old man who forgets to go to work and ends up at the golf course repeatedly has a better memory than a 24-year-old woman.
