The father of a soldier killed in Iraq wants to join Twitter so he can call Donald Trump a ‘damn liar’.

Euvince Brooks says the US President did not contact him after his son’s death, despite claiming to have called every military family who lost a daughter or son.

Mr Brooks’ son, Sgt Roshain E Brooks was killed in August, and the family have not heard from the White House.

He told the Washington Post Trump’s claims to have contacted every bereaved family had upset him even more.

“I said to my daughter, ‘Can you teach me to tweet, so I can tweet at the President and tell him he’s a liar?”, he said.

“You know when you hear people lying, and you want to fight? That’s the way I feel last night. He’s a damn liar.”

Mr Brooks is the third family member of a fallen soldier to publicly question Trump’s claims this week.

It emerged he told a pregnant widow her husband "knew what he signed up for" moments before she greeted his coffin on Tuesday.

Trump denied making the comment to Myeshia Johnson during a phone call, calling it a "total fabrication".

But the account first given by Democrat representative for Florida Frederica Wilson was later backed up the mother of Sgt. La David Johnson.

Now the Washington Post has spoken to the families of 13 Americans killed in combat since Trump became President in January.

About half had received phone calls, the rest had not heard from him, the Post reports.

Earlier this week, Trump claimed has has "called every family of somebody that's died, and it's the hardest call to make."

But yesterday it emerged he had promised the dad of a soldier killed in Afghanistan he would personally send him $25,000 - but the cheque never arrived.

Army Sergeant Dillon Baldridge, 22, was shot dead alongside two other American soldiers on June 10 by an Afghan police officer.

His father Chris Baldridge said Trump called him personally and offered the financial contribution and said that his staff would help set up an online fundraiser.

Mr Baldridge, a construction worker, had told him he was struggling and the $100,000 (Â£75,000) gratuity paid out by the military was going solely to his ex-wife.

As of this week, Mr Bladridge said he has received nothing.
