Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.

Yeah right

And then rebuilt the military and reorganized the Vet Admin to the best levels in recent history. Pulled us out of several hot spots, ended the ISIS caliphate using our military might, and currently honors all members of the military more often than any recent President, save GBush.

...which doesn't explain this:
Trump’s popularity slips in latest Military Times poll — and more troops say they’ll vote for Biden

The latest Military Times poll shows a continued decline in active-duty service members’ views of President Donald Trump and a slight but significant preference for former Vice President Joe Biden in the upcoming November election among troops surveyed.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

tulc(isn't surprised by this at all)

It doesn’t surprise me either because he’s a draft dodger with 5 deferments and he said John McCain (a POW) was only a war hero because he was captured. He also has an appalling habit of bullying and ruthlessly disparaging other people. I think his Twitter account should be suspended until he quits behaving like a schoolyard bully and he learns to behave like a decent and civilized human being.

A report published by The Atlantic claimed on Thursday that President Donald Trump called American troops who died in battle “losers” and “suckers,” citing anonymous sources. The story is now being strongly disputed by at least five witnesses who were with the president that day and say that the story is nothing short of a fabrication.

And the truth will set you free.....

Yes, it will ... though it requires one to consider lines of rhetoric and behavior. I think I will side with the military not with trump loyalists! Let's be realistic he's denigrated US intelligence, McCain, Kahn, Mattis, McMasters, etc., etc.,.... Of course it is being disputed they do so often though often it turns out true...he denies calling McCain a "loser" though it on tape!

Five people in the meeting say it is a fabrication -

Second - quote the President's complete statement towards McCain - please include the link. So often only one part of the statement is used: See the most recent about voting twice and of course the most prolific on Charlottesville. When taken in context the narrative is often destroyed.

 

[JimR-OCDS]

The article in the Atlantic, used a part about Trump's hair from John Bolton's book and spun it to make it sound like the president said this.

The other sources all use the article from the Atlantic

In other words, it's most likely fake news

Then they wonder why Americans don't trust the media.

No one would say this to themselves, let alone out loud. It reads like The Babylon Bee and it just so happens that The Babylon Bee has responded appropriately to the accusation. Anonymous White House Source Claims Trump Punched A Baby

As was noted to you choose to trust trump loyalists... I will trust the military people. Let us be realistic, if possible, sara huckabee-sanders is a professed Christian yet chose to lie for trump... so yes, the truth will set you free.

"Grab ’em by the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]": how Trump talked about women in private is horrifying

tulc(just thought that should be pointed out)

Probably true...

"The reported comments, many of which were confirmed independently by the AP, are shining a fresh light on Trump’s previous public disparaging of American troops and military families and opening a new political vulnerability for the president less than two months from Election Day."

Then the accuser has to prove it is. The Atlantic has failed so far

QFT

 

[Jamsie]

Then the accuser has to prove it is. The Atlantic has failed so far

They did because they stated that this is what was said...and other sources have confirmed much of it. It comes down to believing trump and his loyal defenders and those voices of the military... The reality is that if one notes trump's various statements regarding the military and his propensity to lie, seems obvious to most reasoned persons.

 

[tulc]

Then the accuser has to prove it is. The Atlantic has failed so far

Or they have, and you simply don't like that they did.

[FenderTL5]

It's believable. It's consistent with some of his previous remarks and in line with his character (or lack of).

It ain't gonna work, tulc.

You can post these stories every hour from now until November 3rd, if you want to.

But I'm still voting for Donald Trump.
