Trump Called American War Dead ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

Griffin failed to confirm the most important and salacious “suckers” and “losers” portion of the Atlantic report about dead military heroes. Sounds like a little fact mixed in with a lot of fiction..

In an autocrat regime, if a dictator commands it ..it gets done or he isn't a dictator...and yes,,we will see what Fox does..

'Losers' And 'Suckers'

September 4, 2020

Trump said the story was "a total lie"
"If people really exist that would have said that, they're lowlives and they're liars.
And I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen
heroes. There is nobody that respects them more," Trump told reporters.

Trump long sparred with Republican Sen. John McCain,
calling him a "loser" on Twitter and again on TV in 2015.
Trump denies the actual proof!

"The White House reaction makes it clear that they view this as politically toxic
for the president," said Peter Feaver, who served in senior national security
positions in the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.
"It undermines so vividly a core plank of their reelection campaign
that he's the president who has rebuilt the military."

Here is someone that was there says... former White House national security adviser John Bolton:"Well, I didn't hear either of those comments or anything even resembling them. I was there at the point in time that morning when it was decided that he would not go to Aisne-Marne cemetery. He decided not to do it because of John Kelly's recommendation. It was entirely a weather-related decision and I thought the proper thing to do."

Have any other credible witness of the event in question come forward.. except John Bolton?

Since, Bolton is not friendly towards Trump it actually adds to the credibility of his rebuke of the Atlantic magazine smear. If this story were true Bolton would have surely put it in his book ..however,he didn't..

Oh Yeah! .....John McCain sucked ..

Trump denies calling John McCain a ‘loser’

— but his Twitter proves he's LYING

Sep 4, 2020

President Donald Trump denied an Atlantic report where sources described
the disdain he has for military members who were captured in combat,
including calling late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) a “loser”.

However, despite Trump claiming that he “never called John a loser”
in a series of tweets denying the report,
a quick look at his Twitter account makes it pretty clear that yes he has.

On July 18 2015, Trump retweeted an article
where he’s quoted calling McCain a “loser.”

And on televised tape, he called McCain a “loser”
for not defeating President Barack Obama in the 2008 election.

“I supported him for president, I raised a million dollars for him, that’s a lot of money.
I supported him, he lost, he let us down, you know he lost. So I never liked him as
much after that, ’cause I don’t like losers,” Trump said in the 2015 TV conversation.

So while Trump may be denying that he called McCain a “loser,”
it’s pretty evident trump he has.    

(meaning:  trump is a LIAR!)

So, he called McCain a loser and may have forgot...so what?

Politicians of the right and left constantly misremember..

Righteous! 

All of a sudden the left is all patriotic and waving the stars and stripes around....that makes me laugh..

there he was on tape calling mcain a loser . we all saw it

I don't think there's any question he said it.  I guess it hurts people more because more military members are Republicans.  Well, I'm going to agree with Trump.  Why do losers join the military?  You blindly follow orders and don't even know the scope of most missions.  You may be doing something you entirely disagree with but you're supposed to just do your job and don't question anything.  Oh yeah, that's a great way to live and operate.  Put your trust in others who may not have your best interests at heart.  You're serving a country that sees you as a disposable object to toss aside and bury.  That is roughly what Trump is saying since you don't really get rich off being a veteran, although I will say several customers I've serviced are veterans who happen to be doing fairly well.  

It's not big news since the election isn't going to be affected by the military.  They won't swing the difference and are just political pawns.  Oh, did I mention that most people who join the military are giant assholes with no decency or character?  These "heroes" always sound like such bad people and I do not enjoy conversing with them.  I find them to be rather unpleasant and they do not possess any qualities that I consider to be admirable.  Yes, occasionally one of them is a good person but that's just so damn rare.  The majority of them don't deserve respect and I usually laugh at any moron wearing a hat proudly.  Good for you, sucker.

I pulled 8 years in uniform.

Dan Rather..... This report on President Trump is fake but accurate....

"I never called John McCain a loser"

This events were supposed to have happened in 2018... Now we are to believe,that if,the situation had actually occurred... it would have not been brought up during the Houses Democrat impeachment of the President in 2019..verrrry difficult to believe.

Slim. This will not be the end of it. Prepare for more hyped up stories as we get closer to the election. If that fails, prepare for another 4 year effort to impeach Trump again. For all the talk about what the Democrats will promise, what have they done over the past 4 years for the country? 

Biden is promising a return of the 42% plus tax rate. Biden is supporting the defunding of police. I believe these are the two issues that will lose the election for the puppet masters. Raising taxes coming out of a world pandemic/recession is not the solution. Any economist would tell you that. It would be another blow to the wallet of the American worker while reallocating police funding into "community programs" is not the way to solve the violence problem. 

You are right about that Gamble..and for sure there will be more hyped up stories especially from the magpies we have in this forum..

Nothing so special to Mr. Donald J Trump, he has made over 20,000, yes over twenty thousands false or misleading statements or claims in the office. And it's still counting...

FAKE NEWS! I’m a MARINE and trust me that’s all lies!

That's going to be hard to refute..esp. from a "Always Faithful"..

Desperate times for democrats.     Already debunked.   They are floundering.   Nobody ever talks about how democrats never call covid China based.   Maybe that's because the biden family gets paid 30 million from the Chinese government.    Obama biden allowed the Chinese to take all military technology and intelligence back to China.  They had a joint college venture among several colleges.   Thats why Joe is soft with China.    110 point manifesto,     these clowns win , we no better than Venezuela or cuba...  they allowed China to be the top dog .   Thank you joe...

Ten witnesses have now come forward to confirm,,,, on the record,,,, that The Atlantic's recent anonymously-sourced report, claiming the president blasted dead soldiers, is nothing more than an anti-Trump hoax.

Two, or even four,,, anonymous sources can be used to claim absolutely anything.

Trump    10

Atlantic    0

Final

Good point, Dee.

Not only that but the most recent MilitaryTimes poll of service members

shows only a paltry 17% believe trump handled the Russian bounties issue appropriately.
