The Atlantic dropped a bombshell, shocking, game-changing, disqualifying, walls-are-closing-in, Trump should be forced to resign story yesterday, and most Americans either rolled their eyes or yawned.
Matt Vespa has the details on the completely anonymously sourced tale.
In short:
When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “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.
It's serious stuff, indeed. And if I were to believe this, it would disgust me. I would be so deeply troubled by these callous and insulting remarks about our fallen military heroes I would be hesitant to put a man like this in charge of the military as commander-in-chief.
But, I have no reason to believe these charges, nor do you.
This does not mean the story is false. It could very well be 100% true. But, we have no reason to believe it because we have been flat out lied to multiple times about President Trump, and this story has the same characteristics of all the past bombshell, shocking, game-changing, disqualifying, walls-are-closing-in, Trump should be forced to resign stories over the past four years.
Every source in The Atlantic article is anonymous. Now, that, in and of itself, is not necessarily an indication that the story is not true. However, each and every other fake bombshell, shocking, game-changing, disqualifying, walls-are-closing-in, Trump should be forced to resign story over the past four years has also been anonymously sourced.
CNN alerted us that Donald Trump Jr. had received advanced notice of the Wikileaks email drop in the 2016 campaign, based on anonymous sources. They were wrong.
CNN also blared at us that James Comey would refute Trump's contention that he had told him on three occasions that he was not under FBI investigation. Anonymous sources assured them of this. They were wrong.

And after spending the last four years spending the currency of trust they held with the American people on lie after lie after lie, the bank account which stores that currency is overdrawn. We owe them nothing; they owe us.
They owe us something a little more substantial than more anonymous sources claiming horrific things about Donald Trump in yet another bombshell, shocking, game-changing, disqualifying, walls-are-closing-in, Trump should be forced to resign story.
They owe us names. I mean, seriously, at this point, what is the downside of saying something negative about Donald Trump? Does anyone think that a person would suffer some level of political, financial, or social harm by coming forward and telling a story that would harm this man? In Washington, D.C.? Seriously?
They'd rename the Washington Monument after such a person.
Again, if this story is true, it would sicken me and make me truly despair over the idea of voting for this man to lead our military. But, I would have to believe this story first before I would have to confront that situation. And I don't. And at this point, neither should you.
It’s the only reason they exist.
Only morons would believe that they sat on THIS story for 2 years!! This is a new creation.
Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!
Sometime in the next few weeks , I predict a video will be “discovered” of PDJT using a racial slur. Oh, it’ll be a very well-craft fake, of course, but it will be blasted at us 24/7.
Are the Dems that desperate that they think we would believe that this happened in 2018 and just now someone is letting this out? In the words of Sleepy Joe, “C’mon, man...”
Democrat Joe Biden believes every word and calls out Trump to be guilty as charged. John Bolton, who is not Trump lover, stated he was with Trump when this happened and he said he never heard trump utter one word of what is being charged by Atlantic Magazine & Demented, Democrat, 2020 POTUS Candidate, Joe Biden!!! Democrat Insanity!!!
I wouldn’t care if Trump executed Nancy Pelosi with a shot to the head, I would STILL vote for him as long as he keeps appointing conservative judges, building the wall, and locking up the commie rioters!
Interesting. It wouldn't make a bit of difference to me. Because his actions consistently show the opposite attitude entirely, and those I have to believe.
If it were true, it would suggest not that he has contempt for the military--whom he has gone out of his way, against sneering opposition from the Left, to honor, praise, and finance--but that he is an habitual trash-talker who doesn't live by his own reckless words, but by a higher law.
Of course, our experience suggests that neither claim is true. Either way, he has my broken-glass support in November, and the Atlantic writer's name I have already forgotten.
Smells like desperation...
Yes. You know, even if he did make a comment about “losers”, he could well have been referring to the press that was there that day covering the ceremony. Or possibly some foreign politicians that were present. I don’t think for a second that President Trump disrespects those soldiers.
Well sure, but what if he did something bad? [jk]
The 4 paragraphs below appear twice in the article.

Pelosi is a hypocrite.
Pelosi is a hypocrite.
Pelosi is a hypocrite.
Pelosi is a hypocrite.
Pelosi is a hypocrite.
Pelosi is a hypocrite.
I am so sick of this lying garbage, all of it. There needs to be significant consequences for their actions and words.
The only suckers are those who believe the story has a scintilla of truth or journalistic merit.
He durn was sure talking about the losers who disparage our troops and the fake news ran with the lie.
No it couldn't. The only true part is that Trump utterly savaged the reputation of that traitorous two-faced RINO deep-state globalist hack McCain.
