Myeshia Johnson, age 31, is pregnant with a third child with her late husband. According to reports, Trump called her on Tuesday afternoon to give his condolences to the family over the death of her husband. However, during the five-minute call, he told her that her 25-year-old husband was fully aware of what he was in for, “… but when it happens it hurts anyway.” Whether the president was meaning well or not, the remark was not received well by those listening in on the speakerphone call. It drew immediate condemnation. Trump denied the conversation on Wednesday morning, tweeting, “Democratic Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!”
Representative Frederica Wilson, quickly fired back on CNN saying, “This gentleman has a brain disorder, and he needs to be checked out… We should be praising his [Johnson’s] family, not insulting them.” Wilson added that she had no reason to lie about the conversation, insisting that there were several people who also heard the conversation and could vouch for her. “We’re grieving! This is a grieving community! It is disgraceful for him to even tweet about this.” Reportedly, Wilson was sitting beside the grieving widow when the call came in, as several family members were on their way in a car to Miami International Airport, where Johnson’s remains were arriving. Wilson added that Mrs. Johnson was distraught, and the president did not even remember her husband’s name. Reports also say that Trump did not meet Johnson’s coffin when it first arrived back onto American soil. That same Saturday, he reportedly went golfing instead.
