19. My husband, a vet, said Trump was essentially saying, "Sucks to be you".

That's what he said when we heard what the piece of shit said to Myeshia Johnson.

Then he made a face he hasn't made a in long while, not since his early days home from Iraq. He got up and walked away. Like he did in the early days after Iraq when his remembering got the better of him.

Trump's comments hit a lot of vets that way. His heartless and cruel words, said to the widow of a dead soldier, were one more destructive blow that leaves its mark forever.

Myeshia Johnson will never forget the day she learned of her husband's death. BAM

She will never forget the day his body made it home. BAM

She will never forget when his body went into the ground. BAM

- And she will never forget the words Trump said to her.

One - more - blow.
