Source:The Independent talking about Donald J. Trump's past comments on American military veterans.

"Donald Trump is again denying that he called American soldiers who died in World War I in France “suckers” and “losers,” as attention has returned to the alleged comments during Joe Biden’s recently concluded state visit to the country.

During a rally Sunday in Las Vegas, the former president called the alleged comments “disinformation” reported by the “fake news.”

“Think of it from a practical standpoint, I’m standing there with generals and military people, in a cemetery and I look at them, I say, ‘These people are suckers and losers,’” he began."

“Now, think of it,” he continued, “unless you’re a psycho or a crazy person or a very stupid person—who would say that anyway—but who would say it to military people?”

"According to a new report from The Atlantic magazine, Trump has repeatedly referred to service members as ‘losers’ and ‘suckers.’ In 2018, the mag reports, Trump asked why he was scheduled to visit a military memorial in France. Watch for the full story."

For most people, I think having to meet your probation officer, after being convicted 34 times of 34 felonies, and being in real risk of getting sentenced to probation, home confinement, perhaps even jail (the jail part is probably not likely) would be a pretty bad day. But I'm only mentioning what Donald J. Trump has apparently said about our past military veterans, because he once today again denied calling them losers, at least according to Forbes Magazine. 

This is a who do you believe story because there's no video evidence that I'm at least aware of, of Donald Trump calling American military veterans losers. But it's a he-said, he-said story between a former U.S. Marine General, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, as well as one of President Donald J. Trump's former Chief's of Staff, versus a man who got out military service because of bone spurs, who struggles to get through a sentence (even an incomplete sentence) without lying, or at the very least making a complete false statement. 

The fact that DJT would call a man in U.S. Naval Lieutenant John McCain, who was an American POW in Vietnam, who could've gone home a lot sooner than he did, but who stayed back because he wouldn't give the Vietcong information that would put his fellow Naval officers lives in jeopardy, a loser, gives you pretty good insight about who Donald J. Trump feels about our most distinguished Americans. As well as Donald Trump not going or attending military funerals and his own staff members begging him to even allow certain military funerals to even be held in the first place.
