That explains how his wife looks at him.

Oh, as someone pointed out, Florida is a two party state (both parties must know about a call being recorded) so if Trump is admitting the call was recorded, he basically admitted to breaking another law. Small potatoes for a president, but hilarious how tone deaf he is.

Meanwhile, the Widow is saying this:

That was a quote from the Congresswoman in the car (Congresswoman Wilson is a family friend), but the family is now on record, through the widow's mother.

Note to Trump: when you don't know how many people heard your dumbfuck statement, don't accuse one of them of lying. They have backup.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amph...soldiers-widow/


quote:

On Tuesday, Wilson told The Washington Postthat Trump had told Johnson's widow, “He knew what he was signing up for, but I guess it hurts anyway.”

Wilson said she was riding in a limousine with Johnson when the president called, and said she heard the conversation on speakerphone.

“He made her cry,” Wilson said.

Johnson's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, told The Washington Post on Wednesday that she was in the car during the call from the White House and that "President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband."

Jones-Johnson, speaking to The Post via Facebook Messenger, declined to elaborate.

But asked whether Wilson's account of the conversation between Trump and the family was accurate, she replied: "Yes."

Two Scoops is demanding that Rep. Wilson make a new statement, and says he has proof that he didn't say what she said he did. The wife and mother say her statement was accurate. When pressed about what evidence he had he said they'd find out when she made a new statement. Also said most people lnow he didn't say it.

That paper is super lovely, so here's the article

quote:

MOUNT VERNON — The Bow-area man accused of stabbing his father to death was charged Thursday in Skagit County Superior Court.

Lane Maurice Davis, 33, pleaded not guilty to one count of first-degree murder. He is being held on $1 million bail.

Court documents state Lane Davis started a fight with his parents July 14 at their home in the 4000 block of Wharf Street, accusing them of being “leftists” and “pedophiles.”

An audio recording of the fight, found on his father Charles Davis’ cellphone, indicated that Lane Davis threatened to kill his father several times.

Lane Davis told police he was angered after reading something on the internet about “leftist pedophiles,” which sparked an argument between the two men.

By the time police arrived, Charles Davis was dead, documents state.

Lane Davis is expected to appear in court again Sept. 7.

He was previously held on a magistrate’s warrant, which gives police 30 days to build a case before filing charges in Superior Court, which handles felonies.

His Reddit and YouTube username is Seattle4Truth according to the comments on the article if you want to go down that rabbit hole

Turns out that Kelly was in the room when Trump made his blathering call to Sgt. Johnson's widow.

How that guy still justifies putting his suit on in the morning and going to work for Trump is beyond me. Apparently there is no bottom to the personal degradation that generals are willing to endure for power.
