It's so incredibly sad how Wilson and the left is politicizing this. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with what Trump said!

“Whatever Ms. Wilson said was not fabricated, what she said was 100 percent correct,” said Johnson.

“Why would we fabricate something like that?” she later added.

Wow. Nearly $700,000.00 on the Go Fund Me page. This whole spectacle is bringing in loads of cash, unlike other Gold Star wives.

If the caller had been a democrat president and spoke the same exact words, there would have been no problems. That’s just the way it is.

Why indeed? Why did you just happen to have the rodeo clown riding with you?

The husband made the sacrifice, and yes he knew the risks.

The family and the rodeo clown are engaging in an old democrat and muslim tradition of parading the corpse for political gain.

So you make a fortune purely by fighting with Trump over your dead husband. And some of us understand that what we are observing here is pure racist and political hatred.

I watched the interview with the widow. It is telling that she stated that she said nothing back to the president...as in he called, he made his condolence statement, and there was no feedback.

Sounds like it was a very awkward call...Trump made a call to a widow who has strong partisan feelings about him...and after he was done talking, well that was that. Very different from the other call from months ago that has been made public.

As far as remembering the name goes...there is no way Trump makes this call without a sheet of paper in front of him, with the highlights of the soldier's life, with his name right on top.

Sadly, this woman comes across as a combination of shell shocked and coached...and its really just sad.

I always like to compare how things are reported, when 'the shoe is on the other foot'...and the contrast to how the media has treated the Benghazi families is striking. Several of them state clearly that HRC told them in person 'it was a video', and are dismissed as liars by the media.

Is she related to the famous Trayvon Martin witness?

“No SIR!”

Of course..Just like the lack of protests in the streets or outcry from the media, when Obama was dropping drone strikes on jihadi heads.

The president makes the call with General Kelly and others present. Obviously he knew the names. Just maybe a phone call becomes Awkward on the receiver’s side when a democratic congresswoman is in the car listening and demanding to be given the phone to yell at the president.
