It is absolutely impossible to call the bottom of Donald Trump’s abhorrent character, or lack thereof. Just when you think he’s in the deepest sewer, he confounds everyone by finding a gutter that’s dug even lower. Case in point, the controversy over his insensitive remarks to Myeshia Johnson, the widow of slain Sgt. La David Johnson.<\/p>\n

\"Myeshia
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

This affair began after Trump was harshly criticized for ignoring the deaths of four American Green Berets for two weeks. He had plenty of time to play golf and tweet about his media foes, but performing this traditional presidential duty was too much for him. When a reporter finally asked him to explain, he made some pathetic and plainly dishonest excuses<\/a><\/strong>. And true to form, he attempted to shift the blame and redirect the subject to others, notably President Obama.<\/p>\n

Stung by the criticism, Trump condescended to do his job and finally called the families of the fallen. But even in performing this task he failed miserably. According to Rep. Frederika Wilson, Trump upset Ms. Johnson by telling her that her husband “knew what he signed up for.”<\/em> Not surprisingly, Trump denied that he ever said any such thing. But to make matters worse, he made an implicit threat that he had “proof”<\/em> that he would make public if needed.<\/p>\n

Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!<\/p>\n
