God, I can't believe I'm actually defending Trump. Ugh.
On the other hand, the fact that he only phoned the widow after being called out about it by a reporter, now THAT is indefensible!

Not knowing Sgt La David Johnson?s name (the dead soldier) as you're talking to his widow and saying "he knew what he signed up for". Is cruel, and you defend it. So if it happens to you, you won't be offended or hurt, you'll be understanding
