The U.S. commander in chief just called a grieving war widow a liar

The most powerful man on the planet thought it fit on Monday to write that recently widowed Myeshia Johnson is, in his belief, a liar.

Johnson's husband, La David Johnson, was one of four United States soldiers recently killed in an ambush in Niger, an attack that remains shrouded in mystery. President Donald Trump made a condolence call to Myeshia Johnson while she was at the airport waiting to see La David's casket, and Johnson said she was stunned by the president's inability to remember her husband's name.

Here's what she said during a Monday morning interview on Good Morning America:

“The only way he remembered my husband’s name was because he told me he had my husband’s report in front of him. And that’s when he actually said, La David. I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband’s name, and that’s what hurt me the most, because if my husband is out here fighting for our country, and he risks his life for our country, why can’t you remember his name?”

Shortly after the interview, Trump called Johnson a liar.

Maybe you believe Johnson said Trump couldn't remember La David's name so she could start one of those "feuds" with the president, so she could -- what, exactly? -- become a brief celebrity? Whose fame is built on continually reliving the trauma of her husband's mystifying death?

Many think it's obvious the president is either lying, woefully hopeless, cruel, or all three.

When asked whether she had anything to say to Trump, Johnson replied that she did not.
