RadioOnFire.com - President Trump continued his denial of allegations that he was less than sincere when he called the widow of a Green Beret killed in an ambush in Niger.
On Wednesday, Oct. 25, during an impromptu press conference with reporters outside the White House, Trump stated he was "extremely nice" to the wife of Army Sgt. La David Johnson.
"I can only say this. I was really nice to her," said Trump. "I respect her. I respect her family." While Johnson's widow, Myeshia Johnson, has since backed up the claims made by Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, Johnson told Good Morning America, Trump had trouble remembering the name of her husband.
"That's what hurt me the most, because if my husband is out here fighting for our country and he risked his life for our country, why can't you remember his name?" said Myeshia Johnson.
Despite Jackson's claims, Trump believes there is no way he forgot because he has an excellent memory. "I certainly respect La David, who, by the way, I called 'La David' right from the beginning, just so you understand," Trump told reporters. "They put a chart in front: La David. It says 'La David Johnson.' So right from the beginning, no hesitation. One of the great memories of all time."
