The latest controversy surrounding Donald Trump is ridiculously low, even for him.
After Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson described extremely insensitive comments she claimed to have heard Trump made while speaking to the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson — a soldier who was killed in Niger — Trump said the recollection of the incident was "totally fabricated."

Now, despite Trump claiming to have proof he didn't tell Johnson's wife her husband "knew what he signed up for" multiple times, the soldier's mother told The Washington Post she heard the call and Trump did disrespect her family.

Though she declined to elaborate further, when The Postasked if Wilson's account of the conversation between Trump and Johnson's widow was accurate, she said, "Yes."
Earlier this morning after Trump tweeted he had proof that would refute Wilson's initial accusation of his insensitive words, the congresswoman announced she stood by her account and was not alone in her disappointment.

On Wednesday Wilson told MSNBCthat Johnson's widow "was crying the whole time" she spoke to Trump on the phone and claims that when she hung up with him she said, "He didn’t even remember his name."
Since the congresswoman opened up about the phone call many have shown their disgust and shock at the thought that the President of the United States could say something that possesses such little empathy in the face of this sensitive situation.

And of course, former White House photographer Pete Souza was there to not-so-subtly shade Trump. Not long after Trump addressed the phone call on Twitter, Souza shared a timely photograph on Instagram of the Obama family visiting the burial site of troops who died in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Trump also recently came under fire for falsely claiming Obama never called the families of fallen soldiers during his time in office, and after his tweet people were quick to call attention to other past unsupported claims.
At the White House on Wednesday, Trump verbally denied he said what Wilson accused him of saying to "the woman" and "the wife."
"I'd like her to make the statement again because I did not say what she said," Trump said.

Wilson later tweeted again to tell Trump she still stands by her account and remind him Johnson's widow's name is Myeshia Johnson, not "the woman" or "the wife."
