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.
But according to sources with knowledge of this visit, Trump, while standing by Robert Kelly’s grave, turned directly to his father and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
The big news today is that Trump has apparently said things in private that are remarkably similar to things he's already said in public.
Instead of getting into whether it's plausible whether or not he really said what the Atlantic reported, I'm curious whether folks believe that if he did say it that it would be disqualifying for a would-be commander-in-chief.

YOu are not keeping up, at least 5 people including John Bolton, no fan of trump, said those comments were never made.

Hate to say this but this is a fake thread. Zero truth in this phony story!!
Democrats are extremely desperate. Just look at all the screwy threads popping up about the president today.eace

You'd support these comments if Trump made them?

For the FAKE NEWS! crowd, Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC at Fox News just confirmed it:

Two former sr Trump admin officials confirm reporting that President Trump disparaged veterans and did not want to drive to honor American war dead at Aisne-Marne Cemetery outside Paris.
According to one former senior Trump administration official: "When the President spoke about the Vietnam War, he said, 'It was a stupid war. Anyone who went was a sucker'."
This former official heard the President say about American veterans: "What's in it for them? They don't make any money." Source: "It was a character flaw of the President. He could not understand why someone would die for their country, not worth it."
I read the source a few quotes from The Atlantic article. This former Trump admin official said, "The President would say things like that. He doesn't know why people join the military. He would muse, 'Why do they do it'?"
Re: trip to mark 100th anniversary of WW I Source: "The President was not in a good mood. Macron had said something that made him mad about American reliability and the need perhaps for a European army. He questioned why he had to go to two cemeteries. 'Why do I have to do two'?"
President Trump's staff explained he could cancel (his visit to the cemetery), but he was warned, 'They (the press) are going to kill you for this'." The President was mad as a hornet when they did.
When asked IF the President could have driven to the Aisne-Marne Cemetery, this former official said confidently:
"The President drives a lot. The other world leaders drove to the cemeteries. He just didn't want to go."
Regarding Trump's July 4th military parade, during a planning session at the White House after seeing the Bastille Day parade in 2017, the President said regarding the inclusion of "wounded guys" "that's not a good look" "Americans don't like that," source confirms.
Regarding McCain, "The President just hated John McCain. He always asked, 'Why do you see him as a hero?" Two sources confirmed the President did not want flags lowered but others in the White House ordered them at half mast. There was a stand off and then the President relented.

And if they were? Would that be disqualifying?
Trump's purported remarks are in keeping with remarks he has publicly made.
Some of us thought his past public remarks should be disqualifying. His supporters apparently don't care. They don't care that he dodged service with a made-up physical ailment. They don't care how many actual heroes he has insulted. They don't even care that he made some of his insults while on foreign soil.
No matter what he says, they'll find some sort of excuse for it. And the most inexcusable they still turn into a virtue. His willingness to speak so horribly without worrying about convention or decency is evidence to them of how "honest" he is. Him having no filter for the sewage that comes out of his hot mess of a brain is a virtue to them. When Trump does it, of course. Other people briefly crossing the lines that Trump tramples is still an excuse to pillory those other people. But Trump trampling on every American virtue -- that's what qualified him to be president and why he deserves 12 more years.
You'd support these comments if Trump made them?
Except they only repeat the same claims which were already proven false. I have no doubt there’s an anonymous friend of Eric Ciarmella who will repeat such things, but the only factual claim that can be proven, the reason for not visiting the cemetary, has already been proven in Trump’s favor with documentary evidence

If grabbing women by the genitals isn't disqualifying, I can't see this being disqualifying. djt's cult of personality doesn't care about anything their Dear Leader does.
