Monday Trump Twitter update: He claims Sgt. Johnson's widow is lying

[Bugsy McGurk]

Johnson's widow was on TV this morning. Among other things, she said Rep. Wilson's account of Trump's call was 100% correct.

Trump's response, instead of doing the right thing and calling the woman to set things straight? Another madcap tweet, again claiming that Mrs. Johnson and Wilson are lying.

The wackjob-in-chief....

I'd like to think that Trump will get better at this but I don't believe he will.

Trump's talent for unforced errors is impressive. As far as political challenges go, this was about as easy as it gets. All he had to do, in the face of Wilson's criticism, was to say something conciliatory. Just say "I'm very sorry if my words came across badly; the last thing I'd ever want to do is disrespect someone like La David Johnson, who gave his last full measure of devotion to this nation. I reached out to the family to apologize and to express my deepest respect and sympathies." With something like that, he'd undo any political damage Wilson did, while making the family feel better, and putting Wilson in a position where if she kept pushing it, she would have looked petty and only hurt herself. Instead the orange dope lied repeatedly, trying to use it as a chance to score points against his political enemies, whether that's a democratic congresswoman or a grieving widow. He's just such a stupid man.

The dude is 71 years old. If he made it this far without mastering basic human interactions, I'm not hopeful that he's suddenly going to grow as a person.

I'm sure some say same of you, but, doubt you as brave face to face as you are behind a monitor.
