Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, one of the four U.S. soldiers killed in a military operation in Niger on Oct. 4, told ABC’s Good Morning America that President Trump “made me cry even worse” when he called to offer condolences last week.
Johnson said she was at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, on the air strip ready to receive her husband’s body, when the call came from Trump to the master sergeant accompanying her. Johnson asked that the call be put on speaker, so her family could hear.
