President Trump early Monday disputed the account of his phone call with a Gold star widow, who provided a description of the call earlier that morning in an interview.

“I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!” Trump wrote on Twitter, referencing one of the Green Berets killed earlier this month in an ambush in Niger.

The president’s tweet comes after Myeshia Johnson during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” confirmed Rep. Frederica Wilson’s (D-Fla.) description of the call.

1. Mr. Trump you look like more of a disrespectful dotard every day. Apology & shut up already.

[Corgigal]

2. You need to shut up now

The world is watching, and you can't tweet yourself and use your brand to get out of it. Shut up.

3. This person Trump, is such a bloated waste! He thinks Twitter any bullying is what the presidency is

all about. Each day, he displays more and more how ignorant he really is.

[Botany]

4. Trump is doubling down on his lies.

What is shocking is that so many people still believe him. No doubt Trump was installed
after a fraudulent election but still I weep for America when 25% of our population support
this mafia don/racist piece of crap.

5. I don't think Trump wrote that tweet. Probably a staff member.

No "bigly". It's too concise, lacking hysteria and has only one exclamation point.

(Note: whoa, when I write "bigly" spell check wants to change it to "bigot".)

8. Likely. That "his name" was actually included is the giveaway.

To the orange asshole, La David Johnson is likely to remain "that guy" forever. Between dementia and racism, learning the name of someone who is neither white nor rich is beyond his capabilities.

6. He's no longer disputing he said "he knew what he signed up for."

He is just disputing her characterization of his tone--he insists it was "respectful"--and her statement that he hesitated when trying to say her husband's name, having to refer to a report.

7. Dishonorable Discharge for the republican Draft Dodger-in-Chief

No honor. Republicans are a disgrace in the way their "leader" and "role model" treats America's POWs and fallen soldiers.

An absolute dishonorable disgrace.

9. This one today is beyond reason.

A sensitive, intelligent, and caring leader would not do such a thing.

Today's " Trump Tweet" says more about Trump than Trump can possibly understand.

10. Pure evil

soulless, heartless, shameless evil

this is not our America

[SeattlePop]

11. Why Should Anyone Believe A Word Trump Says / Tweets?

He's a serial liar.

Period.

[OnlinePoker]

12. I may have missed it in all of this

Has it been reported if Trump called the families of the other three men killed in the ambush and what was said to them?

13. He does this

The bastard thinks he can throw his fuck-ups down a memory hole. Well sorry guys, but Private Ogilvy never existed, we didn't exceed our monthly quotas for boots, and Donald Trump is still a hateful ass.
