PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Myeshia Johnson Trump ? According to Roll Call  the White House sent an email with the subject line  "Condolence Letters Since 20 January 2017" to the Defense secretary's office on the evening of the day  Trump  said  he  had reached out to all the families of soldiers who had been killed.
 Trump 's contact with Gold Star families came under fire this week  after The Associated Press reached out to 43 families and got responses from 20  nine of whom said they had heard from  Trump  and nine of whom said they had not  despite his remark that he had called the families of "virtually everybody" who had died in the line of duty.
Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida  who was present during the phone call  told the Miami ABC affiliate WPLG on Tuesday that  Trump  had told Myeshia Johnson her husband "knew what he signed up for  but when it happens  it hurts anyway."
Wilson said she was riding in the car with Johnson — who was on her way to the airport to receive her husband's body — when  Trump  called. She then told MSNBC on Wednesday morning that the soldier's widow was "crying the whole time" and that when she hung up the phone  she looked at Wilson and said  "He didn't even remember his name."
Though  Trump  blasted Wilson's account as "totally fabricated " the soldier's mother confirmed to The Washington Post that the congresswoman's account was accurate  adding that  Trump  had "disrespected" her family.
As the controversy continued to unfold  Gold Star families came out en masse to dispute the president's claims. That included Chris Baldridge  whose son  Army Sgt. Dillon Baldridge  died in Afghanistan in June. Baldridge told The Post that  Trump  had offered  him  a $25 000 check  but did not follow through.
"I could not believe  he  was saying that    and I wish I had  it  recorded because  the man  did say this " Baldridge said. " He  said  'No other president has ever done something like this ' but  he  said  'I'm going to do it.'"

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Maria Rivera ? Down the hill  past the town's plaza and up another hill   50-year-old Maria Rivera  watches  her  husband and two friends remove broken furniture and soggy sheets from their home  which was destroyed by the storm. It is 2 p.m.  and the three men toss the debris into a truck one of them owns. City officials never showed up to clear the debris  and crews with the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency did not come until this month to assess the damage.
Tears moisten  Rivera 's eyes as  she  gazes at what remains of the home where  she  lived for 19 years with  her  husband and three children.
"I haven't been able to assimilate everything that has happened "  she  says  adding that  she  spends most of the day bracing for darkness. "When night falls  you start growing anxious  depressed. Everything has changed ... Sometimes I go to places that have power and I tell my husband  'I don't want to go back.'"
By 4 p.m.  some generators in  Rivera 's neighborhood start rumbling as darkness approaches on the shortest day of the year. A teenager bounces a basketball and takes a couple of shots on a court before heading home  while several men wrap up reconstruction efforts at a roofless home that federal crews fitted with a blue tarp just two weeks ago.
