A grieving widow wouldn't be pimping out her husband for fame and politics. A true grieving widow wouldn't want any part of such nonsense.

Your exploitation of that poor girl is wrong, even I know that.

The "exploitation" of her deceased husband for what seems to be political (and possibly racial) purposes is also wrong, don't you think?
Have the other three families commented on the president's calls to them?
 
Lil' donnie has never been held accountable for his transgressions against average and real Americans. This instance demonstrates clearly what his attitudes and feelings really are. He has no genuine empathy for anyone but expects widespread empathy for himself. Eat it, donnie.

And the investigations continue,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

For someone that is such a grieving widow, she sure can remember a lot of details. Or is it that the Congresswoman that's her source and a known Trump hater is feeding her what she wants to hear?

So how many husbands have *you* lost? I've only lost one, due to the malpractice of a drug-addicted physician. I can tell you that grief goes hand-in-hand with anger.

Until you walk in her shoes, maybe you should pipe down.

I imagine that if the POTUS called you, you would remember details too.

I imagine the widow is remembering what the Congresswoman that hates Trump is telling her she heard. You do realize the only source to back up the widows claim is someone that hates Trump? That's as reliable as asking a fox with feathers in his mouth if he raided the hen house and believing him when he said "No".

As for the President calling me, if it had been Obama, I would have rejected the call.

Opportunism is easy to spot.

No, I don't think I'll shut up.

So someone grieving AND angry has a clear enough mind to remember details of a phone call? Or is it that she heard what a Congresswoman known to hate Trump told her he said?
 
Don Lemon's open letter to Trump: 'Please stop!'

(CNN)Dear Mr. President,

I've interviewed you multiple times.

You've introduced me to your family.

You've also criticized me publicly ... both in front of cameras and on Twitter.
Calling me "hateful," "dumb," a "lightweight."

Calling me "hateful," "dumb," a "lightweight."

Some of your friends have suggested you expected better of me.

I'm not sure why you'd expect anything other than fairness and facts first.

We know you get a lot of your news from TV.

Several of your friends and supporters have told me you watch this show.

So, since I have this platform, I'd like to speak to you personally right now.

I feel compelled to after this latest controversy with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson.

https://twitter.com/x/status/922440008971292672
essentially called her a liar.

Mr. Trump, please stop it. Please stop!

Think of what Sgt. Johnson would want. You are putting his widow in the terrible position of having to fight for her dignity when she should be concentrating on taking care of herself, her health, her two children, and the one on the way.

Listen to what Myeshia Johnson said this morning in an interview on ABC.

"The President said that he knew what he signed up for but it hurts anyways and I was -- it made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said it. He couldn't remember my husband's name. The only way he remembered my husband's name because he told me he had my husband's report in front of him and that's when he actually said La David."

I know you have children -- and two daughters.

Can you imagine Ivanka or Tiffany in Myeshia's shoes?

Having a fight with the commander in chief while they are pregnant and grieving?

If Myeshia Johnson is mad at you, take it.

Just as President Bush and others did.

Take it.

It's part of what YOU signed up for when you decided to descend that escalator and throw your hat in the ring for president.

You're commander in chief, the President of the United States of America, the greatest country on Earth.

Act like it.

Act like you know that you're big enough not to have to win every fight or respond to every criticism.

Act like you know where the high road is.

Confident and secure people ask for help, and for forgiveness.

Insecure people think they know everything and need no help.

And think about this: The only Gold Star families you have attacked are people of color. How does that look?

Apologize.

And I'll end with some words to help you do that. You are welcome to use them.

And now I'm going to speak directly to Myeshia Johnson, as you should.

Mrs. Johnson,
Since the President seems incapable of finding the right words, let me speak for the entire country.

We are all sorry for what you're going through.

All grief is different and we cannot imagine how deep and profound yours is.

We agree with you that La David, your hero husband, was an awesome soldier, a great man, and a great American.

We know from what has been written about him that he wanted to be someone great -- do great things with his life, and he was.

He's a role model to me.

When his photos come on the TV screen or I see them in the newspapers I am incredibly proud of him and what he accomplished.

And to be extremely candid, as a black man, I am always looking for role models who look like me, and the latest one I found was your husband.

La David.

May he rest in peace.

And may you find peace when you can finally get a good night's sleep, knowing that this is America and we got your back.

Believe that.

Signed,
Don Lemon

"...The only Gold Star families you have attacked are people of color..."

Now it goes from "dissed" to "attacked."

How far will these liberals take this story? And will these "people of color" keep the racist divide widening?

"Since the President seems incapable of finding the right words, let me speak for the entire country."

Speak for yourself because you don't "speak for the entire country." Why? Because there are those in
this country who disrespect veterans, their pride and love of this country.
Some time back, a pathetic poster on another forum, insulted my deceased father, a proud WWII Navy
veteran for flying the American flag every day. This poster claimed he flew it on a stripper pole, only
looking for attention. I believe it was a good thing I didn't mention his younger brother, who came
home from the Korean conflict in a pine box. I'm sure this poster would have insulted him as well.

So no, Lemon, you don't "speak for the entire country" because there are those who seemingly
despise those who serve and/or give the ultimate sacrifice when they or their kin publicly display
the symbol of this great nation, whether it's for pride, respect or remembrance of those killed.

Edited to add: I'm sure you know this above mentioned poster is a stanch liberal...
