Trump Told a Soldier’s Widow Her Husband ‘Knew What He Signed Up For,’ His Mother Says

[Jamesiv1]

Anybody could gather a handful of mercenary soldiers, pay em plenty of money, dress em up like ISIS, and have them kill some American soldiers.

Good people aren't willing to do that. Why? Because they are good not evil.

Zip, please take this in the spirit it is intended: I have been one of the very few people that think you have a place here to provoke discussion. But I think you have gone too far this time. Obama was at a baseball game in Cuba during the Brussels attack. He took selfies at Mandela's funeral. He was plenty inappropriate. Hillary stood on the tarmac with the Benghazi families and lied.

Dude, you need to get a grip and have a little respect for others. You are sounding way too desperate.

Well, since nothing at all happened in Benghazi I'd have to ask "What does it matter, anyway?"

Rep. Frederica Wilson Tells “The View”: “President Trump Is A Liar,” Sgt. La David Johnson’s Death Is “His Benghazi”

Team AIPAC: Controversial Rep. Frederica Wilson and Obama (who was embroiled in Benghazi coverup controversy)




On the surface seems like a double standard, she didn't seem to have problem with Obama despite Benghazi but now is trying to manufacture a Benghazi for "liar Trump".

If US media is really free, some employee of media owners should ask her what was her stance on Syria war/Libya operations/ISIS / Trump calling Obama founding father of ISIS/ Benghazi and Benghazi mom who criticized Obama administration as liars.



Good news is that neither side plays politics with lives of troops.

I asked a serious question. you know I have no love for Trump and he is on record saying some seriously stupid stuff, however, do YOU honestly believe the way this is being spun?

Here's the WH response to it.



I do think the women took the remarks very negatively, whether Trump meant it or not. Besides the grieving wife, the Congresswomen knew the soldier personally and I believe was his principal some years ago. The wife seemed heartbroken over the fact that Trump didn't seem to know the soldier's name and kept calling him "Your guy".

If it is someone extremely dear to you, it's a little hard to forgive seeming nonchalance over their death- even if it wasn't meant to sound that way. Trump is terrible with words & really needs to shut up & stay off Twitter.

And, off topic- the whole killing of these men is under suspicion- seems to be some secretive stuff attached to the tragedy. Time will tell

MSM forgot we were even bleeding for Niger... hell, so did I until a couple weeks ago... what are we doing there again?

Reported to mods. You really shouldn't be using that word.

Trump is old, old people have memory lapses, the Demoncrats are engaging in Ageism.

They have no charity in their hearts or any respect for the dead, they will politicize anything.

"Trump didn't pretend to care"

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Yes- Trump did say this; you can slam on Zip all you want or actually own up to some of Trump's stupid remarks.

Wilson told CNN that she is not trying to prove anything about Trump, and he "evidently is lying, because what I said is true. I have no reason to lie on the president of the United States, with a dead soldier in my community. I have no time. I have no motive."

Wilson said there were other people who heard the speaker phone call, including Mrs. Johnson's aunt, uncle, her own press person, the driver, and the master sergeant making the trip to the airport in Miami.

"We're not trying to, leading up to the funeral of this young man, get into some sort of match with the president of the United States," Wilson told Camerota. "[Trump should be] trying to find out what he could do to make up for what he did say, instead of calling me a liar and calling everyone else in the car a liar. He doesn't even know how to sympathize with people."

Wilson also slammed Trump's decision to tweet an attack on her.

"It's disgraceful for him to even tweet about this, and as I say, this gentleman has a brain disorder and he needs to be checked out," said Wilson.

Trump's tweet came minutes after Wilson was being interviewed on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, and after she claimed that the president sounded as if he was "almost like joking" when he told the widow of a Green Beret sergeant killed in action in Niger that he "knew what he signed up for."

Trump says (and even worse, tweets) stupid sh!t all the time. Where is this strawman that needs to "own up" to someone else's stupid remarks?

As far as defending this Congresswoman as being some innocent butterfly, did you get into Dannno's stash? She doesn't have a motive? She doesn't want to make a big deal out of this? Why is she divulging this private conversation to reporters, and going on MSNBC and CNN? And she couldn't possibly be taking things out of context.

She heard exactly what she wanted to hear (and the progressive media wants to report), and no doubt she heard Trump calling to say "too bad this guy got killed, but he's a black guy, so it's not really so bad".

"He knew what he signed up for and the risk it involved. But he did it anyway because he loved his country...

It seems impossible for the MSM to put any of Trump's quotations in context. + rep for doing their job.

Poor Zippy and Ender. Danke's ruining their fake news fun.

Division over nothing.

Remember why you are in this thread or why you feel compelled to attack other forum members words over issues listed in the OP. Much of this looks like a YouTube comments section and will continue to drive people away from these forums.

 

[nikcers]

Man that Ralphie may, he knew what he was getting in to when he ate that family meal at KFC, but he did it because he loved his fried chicken.

 

[Wooden Indian]

Why get your panties twisted either way? Regardless of the truth in this, the facts are that Trump is the President during a time of unconstitutional wars and is spreading our citizens blood all over foreign land. Why? For the profits and power of the MIC.

So unless he said, "I'm sorry I allowed this to continue under my watch. Please forgive me...." I dont give a flying fuck if he said 'your guy' 'that guy' signed up for' or anything else for that matter. Fuck him in his ear and fuck you goobers for caring so damn much, which is what the MSM wants you to do.

 

[Danke]

No shit. I mean really, who are you going to believe, some scrub nobody, or the President of the United States?

I think I need to point out to you that nearly one quarter of the Marines , Navy and Air Force did not vote . Do you think that is acceptable ?

Probably made up of lazy Injuns and Hispanics (didn't mean to be redundant). And possibly some foreigners hoping to gain citizenship.

Uhhh....I wasn't defending HER- I was saying that Trump needs to STFU. Did you read this post of mine?

Foreigners usually do not like be referred to as such from my experience . Does not seem like an effective way to bring them into the fold . I have run combat teams with lots of types of people but no lazies .

"....but no lazies." Of course. From your perspective.
