At some point, there is a habitual pattern, and Trump seems to be living it. So either he is constantly belittling people who happen to be black, or he is doing it unconsciously or consciously.

As to the voters, it is up to you to decide how important it is to have someone who believes all people are created equal in the White House.

Wilson knows that this subject is not one to joke about. When she was laughing and smiling about becoming a "rock star," you could tell she was doing it in a really serious way.

WTF?

But just so we're clear: Trump and his supporters are totally, totally not racists. This family being black, this member of Congress being black, that has utterly nothing to do with any of this. In fact, anyone who notices that the family is black, and that it is often black people who are abused by Trump and his supporters, is *themselves* the racist. See now?

Oye. Back to the race card and the accusations that Trump voters are racists. Sigh.

Are you saying the call was bungled because the Marine and his widow were black?

Anyone?

I offered my explanation. Previous page.

So the excuse is that he didn't remember, but he remember enough to deny it?

I don’t know what you’re looking at but that was not anyone’s reply to this question.

Actually, it was. I reposted it above.

One HUGE thing he has done has rolled back regulation that has strangled business. He is also actively working to enact tax reform.... the market is anticipating that this will happen.

Specifically what regulations have been rolled back and what businesses were those regulations strangling? Be specific. The generalities are just campaign speech and EO Signing ceremony rhetoric.

The Clean Power Act or whatever it was called. Terrible for business. And the mine will be approved in Alaska to get precious metals. I could go on and on.

The repeal of the Clean Power Act will cost over 560,000 jobs in the US and 52 billion in economic activity.

Why are you in for of over half a million Americans losing their jobs?

Mrs Johnson

I am heartsick that my phone call caused you any grief. That was never my intention. Please forgive me for any stress it caused you and your family. Your husband La David is an American hero. He will forever be remember by myself and all Americans. He is the best of Us.

Your country will always be here for you and your family

DJ Trump

People like PP are more upset that Trump is bad at performing consolation than they are about the actual soldiers' deaths.

I'm very upset at the "actual soldiers' deaths." If you were "actually" upset, you might know that they were "marines," not "soldiers."

They might not have died if they still had the support of the Chadian forces who were also fighting terrorists in the same region, until they pulled out on September 29 after Trump inexplicably included Chad in the most recent travel ban.

Unfortunately you are not as smart as you think you are.

Sgt. La David Johnson was in the Army. A Green Beret. That's US Army Special Forces, not Marines.

You should be ashamed of yourself for caring so little for those that have fallen in service of this country. Its worse than Trump forgetting his name.

Shame.

All 4 were Green Beret, Army

Sgt. Johnson was not a Green Beret. He was assigned to a special forces unit and worked alongside Green Berets.

He was with the 3rd, attached to the Green Berets. Since you want to be exact. Still a long way from a Marine since its all Army.

He's made a lot of calls and probably forgot the exact words. Do you remember every word of every phone call you've made?

Here's the weak explanation. Even Kelly didn't deny the congresswoman's account. So Trump was just wrong. Kelly just blabbered on about how the call was supposed to "sacred" whatever the hell thats supposed to mean. Presidential conversations are not sacred. He is not some religious figure. He is our employee.

Well, the phone calls between a president and the grieving family are no longer sacred. They once were.
Thanks to Congresswoman Wilson, other gold star wives and families are putting out recordings of their calls with President Trump to disprove the media narrative. It is a shame they feel the need to do that.
Congresswoman Frederica Wilson has caused this to be political by making a political statement following the call. I find it hard to believe that her statement did anything to sooth the grieving family.
