 Donald Trump just hit a new low in the La David Johnson fiasco.

 Summary:
      
      On Monday in her interview with Good Morning America, Johnson, the widow of the deceased soldier expressed her feelings about presidents Trump call to "offer" his and the countries condolences. She argues president trump said that La David Johnson knew what he was getting himself into and didnt seem to know the name of the soldier during the call. President Trump replied with a tweet, of course, saying he knew his name from the beginning and had a very respectful call with the widow.

 Analysis:

      When a person looses someone very dear to them the only thing they want is to have that person back. All you can offer them is your support. It is a time where you offer condolences not dissect the problems or decisions of the deceased especially when they were serving our country and protecting us. As we may already know, President Trump can be very stoic if it doesn't involve him.  A person of power, like a president, should offer gratitude for the service and the life of a soldier. If he fails to do his job i feel like he should apologize not make the family go through more grief. After all not everyone has the same interpretation or way of speaking.
