Trump says claims he insulted soldiers angered him more than anything else

President Trump says the angriest he's been during his reelection bid was when The Atlantic reported that he had called American military members who died at war "losers" and "suckers."

"It's a totally made-up story," Trump said on Fox Business' "Mornings with Maria." on Thursday. "They don't even have any witnesses, they made it up. And that's why they're lowlifes, because they made it up and went with a story. They know it wasn't true but they use it all the time."

The story, published in early September and citing multiple anonymous sources, alleges that the president also made disparaging remarks about wounded veterans and asked that they be kept out of military parades. The president has vehemently denied the reports.

We all know it's fake. The way Trump stood up for veterans, the way he treats cops, shaking hands with all of them and the way he gave respect to the soldiers or the widows of those who have fallen shows he really cares about them!

And remember it was the ‘Foxes’ that attempted to give the libel gravitas.

The Atlantic plagiarized the final scene of Godfather II where Sonny disparages Michael for joining the Marines. At least they should be more creative in their insanity! Then again, plagiarism is a leftist trait these days.

The President that disappeared before Thanksgiving and popped up in AFGHANISTAN to serve Thanksgiving dinner to troops insulted those self same troops?
I don’t think so.

The first step understanding how democrats work is their constant projecting.

Wall-ass was jumping all over Trump to fact check him - but he let Biden get away with this.

I wish Vice President Pence would have said loudly “You’re a liar, Kamala Harris” about that and the “fail to deny” lie.

You”re right. Even after the story was proven to be made up fake news FOX News continued to run it for another couple days.

The one person who may be the original source for this has not been heard from, General Kelly. It would be a devastating October surprise if he confirmed it. I hope the Trump team has a response for that.

It’s hard to say what Trump’s angriest moment has been these last 4 years. He always seems worked up about something or other. But I’ll take his word for it that this was it.

Sorry, I missed that. Fox is even more despicable than I thought.
