Our inglorious President told the widow of a soldier who was killed in Niger "...he knew what he signed up for, but when it happens it hurts anyway." It was cold, cruel, and unacceptable for the leader of our country. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson was in the car and heard part of the President's call when it was on loud speaker. The soldier gave his life doing what his country asked of him. President #45 insulted the memory of the soldier and reduced his wife to tears. All he needed to say was "The Nation grieves with you for your loss." It is short and even a person like President #45 can appear to have a heart when his mind goes blank and he forgets himself.
