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.

I dont think Trump is being quoted as calling them suckers. You are getting emotional over nothing.

If you are talking about The Atlantic that is not a credible source.

There are many former Trump administration who are quite willing to go on the record criticizing Trump. There’s no credibility to unnamed sources. The reason the sources are anonymous is because they are fabricating a story. There probably isn’t an anonymous source. The writer of the article probably made it up on his own.

Except that it hasn't.

Facts don't care how much you wish it was.

It's just been confirmed by Fox News so no more whining about fake news. So now when Trump supporters go to vote for this idiotic conman they will certainly be voting for someone who thinks American military personnel are suckers and losers.

I just posted that about Fox. Jennifer Griffin just confirmed it.

Yeah, my uncle never spoke about it. Not once. My mother sad everyone knew not to ask him. I can't imagine what he saw....
 
Another anonymous source makes a comment that was allegedly heard without substantiation and the idiot lefts dance on command. Even after 5 individuals go on record to refute the comment, the idiot leftists still dance.

When you are a muppet, you sort of HAVE to dance when you are told to dance.

Well, I was never going to vote for this idiotic conman anyway.

This isn't about me.

This is about Trump.

Now that this story has been confirmed by every Trump supporter's favorite news channel, are you still going to vote for Trump even though he thinks people who served in the military are "suckers"? That's okay with you?

Why would you vote for someone who thought of American troops this way?
