TRUMPS MESSAGE TO AFRICAN AMERICAN MILITARY WIDOW CONFIRMED



Feeling Rebloggy


President Donald Trump told the widow of US Army Sgt. La David Johnson, a Green Beret killed during a mission in Niger on October 4, "He knew what he signed up for ... but when it happens, it hurts anyway,” according to a Democratic member of Congress who says she heard the call.
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) says she was present with Myeshia Johnson, Sgt. Johnson's pregnant widow and mother of his two children, when President Trump called her at 4:45 pm on Tuesday, nearly two full weeks after Sgt. Johnson's death. Wilson told WPLG Local 10 News in Miami, which broke the story, "It's so insensitive. He should have not said that. He shouldn't have said it."
Wilson reiterated her account on Twitter, and in an appearance on CNN. According to the Washington Post’s Phil Rucker, the White House isn’t confirming or denying Wilson’s story, only saying such calls are “private.”

I'd say that Trump has just proven that Black Lives Don't Matter even if you die for the country, but he's been this disrespectful to non-black others that he considers enemies too. So, I acknowledge that this ugly behavior isn't just aimed at the black and brown military and their families. However, ex-military like John McCain were attacked and disrespected as political adversaries. What is it except La David Johnson's brown skin that made his widow worth disrespecting except her brown skin? 

Trump's automatic reaction to people not white is likely at play here. He opens his mouth at black and brown people and his disdain and/or hatred automatically comes out. There's just no doubt about how deep that is in him after his behavior in regards to Puerto Rico. 

People who are not-white are just nothing to him. They aren't REALLY human.  It really is that simple.
