He said he hopes the &#8220;Fake News Media&#8221; keeps talking abut Wilson, who\u00a0he claimed is &#8220;killing the Democratic Party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s comments come after Wilson last week described a phone call between Trump and the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed in Niger.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson said she was in the car with the fallen soldier&#8217;s family when Trump called. She said Trump told the soldier&#8217;s widow that he &#8220;knew what he signed up for &#8230; but when it happens it hurts anyway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump has since pushed back against Wilson&#8217;s claims. On Thursday, Trump accused Wilson of lying about the content of the call after &#8220;secretly&#8221; listening in.<\/p>\n<p>White House chief of staff\u00a0<span class=\"rollover-people\" data-behavior=\"rolloverpeople\"><a class=\"rollover-people-link\" href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/people\/john-kelly\" data-nid=\"345753\">John Kelly<\/a><\/span>\u00a0last week also gave an emotional press conference in which he said he was &#8220;stunned&#8221; by Wilson&#8217;s negative description of the call.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would have thought that was sacred,&#8221; Kelly said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump spurred controversy during a press conference last Monday when he claimed former President Obama and other past presidents didn&#8217;t call the families of fallen soldiers. Former aides to Obama have strongly pushed back against the claim.<\/p>\n<p>Several recent reports have said Trump has not called all of the families of\u00a0soldiers who have died since he assumed office.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/356585-trump-dem-lawmaker-gift-that-keeps-on-giving-for-the-gop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump: Dem lawmaker the &#8216;gift that keeps on giving&#8217; for GOP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=87273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87273\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=87273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=87273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=87273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
