Trump happened.

No one could say it better--as in S _ _ _ happens.

Thank you, LA Times.

Myeshia Johnson lost her husband La David Johnson in an ambush in Niger.

12 days later dt had not yet commented on the deaths of the four soldiers in that attack.

When asked by reporters, he claimed letters had been written.  And would be sent.  Signed by him.  He told a few lies--that other presidents such as Obama didn't make calls.  But dt would. 

Then he rushed to call the families of the four soldiers.

His chief of staff, former General John Kelly, advised him not to call--but then coached him.

When dt called Myeshia Johnson, she was in the car with her mother-in-law and her friend, Congresswoman Frederika Wilson of Florida, who had known her son.  She chose to put the president's call on speaker phone.

dt also had others listening to his call--Kelly and at least one other person.

He blew the call.  He didn't know how to convey compassion or sympathy.  He forgot the name of the fallen soldier, Army Sergeant La David T. Johnson, in both the call and his later defense of the call.

He said something along the lines of  "he knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt." 

When Kelly later said similar words, they were clearly filled with patriotism and compassion.

But Trump's words caused the widow more pain.  Soon after she arrived at Miami International Airport and met the coffin of her husband.  She wept (photo above).

Rep. Wilson chastised dt in a tweet and speaking to reporters.

When Trump responded, he referred to Myesha Johnson as "that woman" and "the wife."  He didn't even use the word widow.

He has memory problems--probably Alzheimer's.  

We need to remove him from office before he breaks the hearts of any more Americans.
