The motivation behind Trump’s behavior is obvious. The media just doesn’t want to confront it.

Despite the preponderance of evidence to the contrary, why would President Donald Trump start off this week with a continuation of his lies against Myeshia Johnson, the Gold Star widow of Sgt. La David Johnson?

Appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Johnson expressed the pain and emotions she felt when Trump called her to offer condolences after her husband was killed during a mission in Niger. She said the president’s tone was callous and that he didn’t call her husband by his name, referring to him as “your guy.”

() also supported the account of the call made by Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), who was in the car when Trump called and heard the conversation on a speaker phone. Wilson told reporters last week that Trump was insensitive when he told Johnson that her husband “knew what he was signing up for, but I guess it hurts anyway.”

Trump denied it all, essentially saying the Gold Star widow was a liar. “I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!” Trump tweeted Monday morning.
