Donald Trump says that one of the toughest parts of his job is to call military families after their loved ones were killed in action. He also claimed that his predecessor never did this, which is patently false.

Maybe because Trump has the empathy of a cockroach. When he did call the widow of Sgt. David Johnson (who died on October 4 in Niger), Trump said that her husband "knew what he signed up for."

Trump denies that he said this, and now blames his political opponents—but that's par for the course for a compulsive liar (the military family disagrees with him.)

Putting aside his gross incompetence as President, Trump can't even console a military widow without insulting her late husband.
