EarlG (22,071 posts)Pic Of The Moment: Trump Denies General's Claim That He Called War Dead "Suckers And Losers"Trump says only a 'psycho' would call war dead 'suckers and losers' - which a general says Trump didhttps://www.democraticunderground.com/100219023038
For example, a new Biden campaign pushes the long-debunked accusation made in The Atlantic that Trump refused to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in 2018 because he thought the troops buried there were "suckers" and "losers."This story was debunked four years ago, as more than a dozen Trump administration officials who were with Trump on that trip have now disputed the Atlantic report, including former national security adviser John Bolton — who is no fan of Trump. "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," Bolton told Fox News in September 2020. "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.”...“I did not hear POTUS call anyone losers when I told him about the weather," Zach Fuentes, former deputy to Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly, told Breitbart News. "Honestly, do you think General Kelly would have stood by and let ANYONE call fallen Marines losers?”“I was the host of the event discussed by the false and despicable article published in The Atlantic magazine on 3 September … when the President’s visit was appropriately canceled due to weather, I received word also that he was upset he would not be able to make the wreath-laying visit,” Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission, said at the time as well.
