It's not the substance of the conversation that is the issue. It's the Congresswoman's (and the media's) suggestion that Trump called with the intent of disrespecting her husband. And likely, in many people's minds, because the soldier was black. [/quote]

I have not seen this inferred or suggested. The bottom line is that Trump called and WAS disrespectful. Whether he meant to or not, I highly doubt it was the intent.

He is just that much of a b00b.[/quote]

I would like someone to post one story where Trump took the high road and was gracious without making a story all about the injustice to himself or "punching back 10 times harder."  Just one.

Because he seems utterly incapable of it. The presidential thing for him to have said/done in response to Rep. Wilson's claim is "I am truly sorry for Mrs. Johnson's great loss. I grieve along with her and am very sorry that my phone call was not the comforting experience I intended it to be.  We as a nation respect his service and feel gratitude for it."  And then invite the family to the White House for tea with him and Melania.

That would have been the classy thing to do.

And to those who trot out "yeah well he constantly gets slammed" - seriously, if that's his excuse, he should never have run for president. If he can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

So, Trump supporters, come back and show us how many times he has graciously taken the high road.  Because most presidents before him were able to do that with their critics.  Seriously, did Obama ever get into a sling match with Rep. Joe "You Lie" Wilson?  Doesn't anyone remember how Hillary invited Barbara Bush to the White House after BB called her a "name that rhymes with witch"?
