Those phone calls to the families....

U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson died in a deadly ambush in Niger on Oct. 4. It took the president nearly two weeks to reach out to Johnson’s widow, and when he finally did on Tuesday, Local 10 reports Trump told Myeshia Johnson, “He knew what he signed up for … but when it happens it hurts anyway.”

  The Root
Apparently, that's what the "Democrat Congresswoman" Trump tweeted about this morning said. I suppose we could ask the grieving widow.  I wonder what he said to the other three.
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Miami Gardens) witnessed Mrs. Johnson, who is the mother of a 2-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, leaned over the American flag draping her husband’s casket and sobbed uncontrollably.

[...]

Trump called Mrs. Johnson at 4:45 p.m., shortly before her husband’s remains arrived at Miami International Airport.
After being called out at a press conference for not writing or calling families of the four dead soldiers.


We  hope.

Report on the incident.

UPDATE:

"He didn't even know his name."
