WEATHER DOT COM Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ 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. Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed. When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,” and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the ***** are we doing that for? Guy was a ***** loser,” the president told aides. 2

gomper Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Trump is incapable of empathy. Although most of his supporters will dismiss this as "fake" because Daddy said so. 4

Niagara Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Alyssa Farah, a White House spokesperson, emailed this statement shortly after this story was posted: “This report is false. President Trump holds the military in the highest regard. He’s demonstrated his commitment to them at every turn: delivering on his promise to give our troops a much needed pay raise, increasing military spending, signing critical veterans reforms, and supporting military spouses. This has no basis in fact.” 1

Westside Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 I think he has mistaken Trump for Tibs. Tibs loves to laugh at dead american soldiers. 1
BillsFanNC Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 I think someone knows nearly the entire board has him on ignore.

Trump was right about one thing. There are plenty of suckers and losers out there: all of his apologists. 1

Yeah. That totally sounds like him but I always take articles that support anonymous sources with a grain of salt. It could've been some sarcastic ill informed quip for all we know. I get it that you don't want 40 something percentage of the population hating you but don't say anything at all if you want to anonymously criticize somebody. Mattis at least had the guts to criticize him publicly.

This story is from 2018, and they just decide to pull it out of their hat. You haven't seen enough false smearing of Trump by the media to disregard anonymous sources, and hearsay from years ago?

How the eff sarcasm is appropriate in situations like that (particularly with John Kelly at the grave of Kelly's son) is beyond me. 3 hours ago, Prickly Pete said: Really?

It's more likely that the sources waited until after the convention (and for a Thursday publication time) to tender the information. Whoever did this knew what he/she was doing.
