Not What he Signed Up For

Recently, Trump callously said to the widow of a soldier, ‘he knew what he signed up for’. Now, it has been revealed that the POTUS could not even remember the name of another soldier who had lost his life in the same attack when offering condolences.
Obviously, the plebeian of a president tweeted:

The widow, Myeshia Johnson, speaking to ABC News, added that the POTUS’ stumbling ‘hurt her the most.’ She asked him, “If my husband is out here fighting for our country and he risks his life for our country, why can’t you remember his name?”
This isn’t the first time (obviously) that the president has annoyed those serving o who have served in the military. In July he called for a ban on transgender troops, claiming that it was too expensive to keep these people in the military due to medical costs. This was called out as total nonsense, however, by numerous generals and army medical practitioners.
“We don’t have guidance. We have a tweet. We don’t execute policy based on a tweet.” Capt. Jeff Davis, DoD spox on @POTUS’s transgender ban.
