I am not surprised in the least that President Trump would take to Twitter to attack Myeshia Johnson.
If someone can smear Gold Star mother then he can surely smear a pregnant Gold Star widow.
This morning Johnson appeared on Good Morning America to confirm Congresswoman Frederica Wilson's account of President Trump's phone call when the body of her husband Sgt. La David Johnson was returned home.
In response, Trump wrote, "I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!"
I am sure that by this afternoon White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will say that the President was fighting fire with fire.
Of course this will be music to the ears of his supporters who love that Trump fights. But what does he fight for? And why must he fight a pregnant Gold Star widow?
A good man chooses his battles wisely. President Trump doesn't know when to stop fighting.
The best thing President Trump could have done was to say nothing. In a couple of days it would be forgotten. But that isn't in his nature. He must always get in the last word. Our President can neither lay down his sword nor put down his phone.
