How Low Can Trump Sink?

After bragging about how he always called the families of deceased soldiers and lying about the respects Bush and Obama paid the families, then changing his story shortly thereafter, blaming "someone" who told him Obama and Bush didn't pay respects, Trump has disrespected a fallen soldier's family:

The mother of a soldier killed in an ambush in Niger said Wednesday that President Trump disrespected her family during a call with the man’s widow by saying the soldier “knew what he signed up for.”

President Trump denied he said those words to Sgt. La David T. Johnson’s wife during a Tuesday phone call and escalated his dispute with Representative Frederica Wilson, Democrat of Florida, who first described the exchange on Tuesday.

Trump has called the three women on the call liars. He says he has "proof" that the pregnant grieving widow is lying. So where is it? With the Comey tapes?

Any normal adult human being who unintentionally insulted a grieving widow and her family would simply issue a standard non-apology apology: "I didn't mean to upset the family, and I apologize for any misunderstanding," and leave it at that.

But Trump is not normal, and he is (apparently) not an adult human being. He's apparently a six-year-old hell-spawned brat who can never let anything go. He had to take to Twitter and call them liars. And to top it off:

“But that’s not the worst part,” Ms. Wilson said. “She was crying the whole time and when she hung up the phone she looked at me and said ‘he didn’t even remember his name.’ That’s the hurting part.”

Sgt. La David Johnson

Do you think Trump's absent-mindedness and lack of tact on the call had anything to do with the fact that Sgt. Johnson and his family are black?

Perhaps not. After claiming that he had called every soldier who had died on his watch, it turns out Trump is lying there too. He never contacted the mother of Etienne Murphy (who was white, so Trump isn't a racist after all!) after falsely claiming he had talked or written letters to all the families of deceased soldiers.

Trump has been in office less than a year, and there have only been a couple of dozen deaths in the military now that our troops no longer have active combat roles. Thousands of troops died during the sixteen years of Bush and Obama, and by all reports they did all they could to console the families.

Obama lifted Bush's ban on the media covering the return of fallen soldiers (yet another stain on the Bush presidency) and visited Dover AFB multiple times (here's a story from 2009 and one from 2011). Trump has never greeted the fallen at Dover.

Every time Trump lies you think he can't sink lower into his pit of selfish ignominy and mendacity. Yet every week he spews more garbage, tweeting heinous lies that show the man has no conscience, no morals, and no soul.
