[W:720, 995]Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

Regards to #1.

Do you think Kelly is the type to sit on this for 2 years?

Kelly is a vindictive bastard. I absolutely believe he would sit on it until election time.
 
1. I think that this specific account about not going to the ceremony doesn't have to be entirely accurate for someone to have heard Trump make disparaging remarks about U.S. troops around the time of this event. For instance, someone like John Kelly could have talked to Trump briefly before or after this meeting where everyone else was at and heard Trump say these things.
2. I also know that this article detailed several incidents where Trump made several disparaging remarks about U.S. troops, and these other incidents have been confirmed by other outlets, so to fixate on this one thing misses the broader point made in the article that Trump has demonstrated a pattern of behavior showing disrespect to our troops.
3. It's entirely possible this article could be wrong on this point. But to be honest, I trust anonymous high-ranking former administration and pentagon officials more than I trust Trump. To be honest, I'd be more inclined to trust any random person off the street than Trump on any particular topic of conversation.


1. Yeah; and the 4 anonymous sources were standing quietly in the corner while Kelly and Trump had a conversation. /s

2. Old info that has already been out for years is being used to tie to the lie “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. to make people like you believe that crap.

An article that starts with Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, is definitely something that you would believe. :lol:


3. Sure; you are the type who believed pencil-neck Schiff for 3 years that he has irrefutable evidence Trump colluded with Russia.
 
So you think Kelly......would sit on something like that....and you think Trump has a bad view of the military.....
You dont understand the military if you think some high ranking officers would not sit on this sort of information. Especially if they preferred not to get into a dispute with the President over something that is terrible to say but not really detrimental. In fact, it would be more likely to harm morale than help anything since it is not an impeachment offense.

My maternal grandfather was wounded in the battle for Argonne Forest Sept. 26-Nov.11, 1918.

**** you Donald Trump.

How easily you believe an anonymous claim that is totally unsubstantiated and has been debunked by numerous folks on the record such as John Bolton who doesn't like Trump but chose to tell the truth.

So.....2 years later, it's not going to hurt morale? Interesting....
 
All private conversations with the president maybe classified

**** now we are moving into.....Kelly is the source.....but it's classified......so.....now you think Kelly leaked classified info......

He may not be a source at all
 
Eric Holder was secretly { using the FBI as part of The Justice Dept. } Investigating
General Petraeus and also secretly leaked it to the New York Times which was glad to
make public.Like we have seen numerous times as what The N.Y.Times and Washington Post
live to do.That is to Leak with anonymous sources anything that can cripple President Trump.
The New York Times was the First to report that Investigations { which was secret }
Recommendation.

Where are your links? So far, what you've written is BS until you prove it.
 
p.s. Kelly declined to comment on this story. Does anyone think for a minute he wouldn't comment on it if it were untrue?

Kelly is one of the sources. I'd bet my shirt on it.

It's incredible to me that the concept of "anonymous" sources is somehow confused with meaning the reporter doesn't know who they are. The Atlantic knows its sources. Same people who give so much credence to "Q-Anon", get so bent out of shape about anon sources in journalism.
 
1. Yeah; and the 4 anonymous sources were standing quietly in the corner while Kelly and Trump had a conversation.

There is no indication in the article that the ceremony incident had more than one source. There were multiple sources for the other incidents detailed in the article, but there is no reference to multiple sources concerning the ceremony incident.

Old info that has already been out for years is being used to tie to the lie

Some of the other information is old, for instance, the stuff about McCain

And all of the other information still bad. For example, why would you vote for someone who thought Vietnam vets were suckers? Do you think Vietnam vets were suckers?

An article that starts with Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, is definitely something that you would believe. :lol:

Do you not believe Trump is vain and superficial?

3. Sure; you are the type who believed pencil-neck

Why are you making fun of Schiff's physical appearance? You sound like all of the other pro-Trump bullies. It's not okay to make fun of someone because of the way they look.

Schiff for 3 years that he has irrefutable evidence Trump colluded with Russia.

I'll let Schiff speak for himself:

 
So.....2 years later, it's not going to hurt morale? Interesting....
At this point in time it can lead to a change in leadership, which would improve not reduce morale. It could backfire if Trump wins though.

If Trump loved and respected our troops he would confront Putin about Russia's bounty payments to the Taliban to kill our troops.

If Trump loved and respected our veterans he would have already had the VA in tip-top shape, instead of the mess it continues to be.

If Trump loved and respected our troops he would have made sure military installations around the world had the necessary equipment, buildings, and services instead of stealing the funds from the military to build his stupid wall, that never has any hope of being built.

Trump doesn't care about our troops. The only thing Trump cares about is himself.
 
How easily you believe an anonymous claim that is totally unsubstantiated

It's not an anonymous claim. It's an anonymous source. Griffin, a veteran Pentagon-centered Fox News reporter, confirmed many details from her sources, people she knows.

and has been debunked by numerous folks on the record such as John Bolton who doesn't like Trump but chose to tell the truth.

Bolton didn't necessarily debunk it. All he said was he didn't hear Trump say it.

"I can’t prove the negative that he never said those things," Bolton told host Martha MacCallum. "The president has a habit of disparaging people. He ends up denigrating almost everybody that he comes in contact with whose last name is not Trump."

John Bolton denies claim Trump disparaged fallen American soldiers in France: '''Simply false''' | Fox News
 
So you think they are staying quiet about the President trashing dead soldiers, just to ‘own da libs’?

That kind of rationalization leads me to believe that...yes.....it’s a cult.

No, I'm saying the opposite, Threegoofs. :roll:

I'm saying that they enjoy the heat that they think the story is putting on Trump. They know it's phony so going on record and telling the truth ends the story, so they don't.

There is no reason for two people who are no longer working in the White House to remain anonymous as you presume they are. Bolton, who doesn't like Trump, has come forward saying that the story is false.
 
I think they have evidence for the c accusations with 4 people (even if anonymous) saying it was said and past statements that were made.

Anonymous people aren't evidence, they are rumors of evidence.

They are evidence. Not great evidence, but evidence. It still requires coorboration in other ways. Eventually we are likely to get at least one name, which will help to verify. If not, it will die.

Exactly. This story has just begun
 
My mom was worried when I signed up but her and my dad still signed the papers (I was 17). I remember telling her "Mom, there's not even anything going on right now", which was true, it was '98.

Although, my first deployment was when the USS Cole got hit by terrorists. My mom told me later, when we finally got a chance to call back home (we were in the Persian Gulf, had just pulled out of Dubai a week before), that the first she heard about the Cole was at work and either another nurse or patient pointed out there was a ship in the Persian Gulf that got hit by terrorists (no name or type at that time) and some Sailors in Engineering spaces had been killed (she knew I worked in those spaces). It scared her to tears. She said she later the next day found out it was a smaller ship, not mine, but she was so frightened that night.

My parents would never think of disowning any of their children for joining the military. Thats horrible. And for a President to have (allegedly) said it is just wrong. Its not something you disown your children for doing unless you really don't have respect for that type of career choice.

for sure, as a parent, I could not be more proud of him serving this country he loves. I still worry about lots of things in reference to my children...but that is a mom for you. I cannot fathom not supporting him on his ambitions..especially one that shows huge dediction...even though his father was not even a US citizen.
 
Jesus Christ you are flexible, should try out of the US Olympics with that gymnast stretch.....

First...it was A conversation not THE conversation...and even if it was THE conversation it might not have been THAT conversation, and even if it was THAT conversation, there might have possibly been ANOTHER conversation that would have been A conversation....

That's your argument.......****ing pathetc.

Bolton himself said that while he did not hear it, it could have been said during that visit.
 
No they are evidence

Well ****, then I've got evidence that you are actually AWOL and a wanted felon......no seriously, I've got a source.......not gonna name him though, he/she, they are scared of you.

And right here...is the crux.....IT STILL REQUIRES CORROBORATION IN OTHER WAYS.....

Yet, everyone on the left has blown their nut saying that the story is confirmed......if it's confirmed...that would mean it was corroborated already....that's clearly not the case.
