The Atlantic published a report on Thursday where the publication claimed that Trump “rejected the idea” of visiting Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, not just because of rain, but “he did not believe it important to honor American war dead,” the publication cited four anonymous sources.
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers,” Trump allegedly said, according to the publication.
He later reportedly said in another conversation that over 1,800 Marines who died at the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I were “suckers.”
Citing three anonymous sources, the Atlantic reported that Trump told his senior staff of late-Sen. John McCain, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral.”
On flags being half-staff after McCain died, Trump allegedly said, “What the f*** are we doing that for? Guy was a f***ing loser.”
Additionally, the report claims Trump said in 2018 he asked for wounded warriors not to be a part of a military parade. He allegedly said, “Nobody wants to see that.”
White House spokesperson Alyssa Farah also denied the report, telling the publication, “This report is false. President Trump holds the military in the highest regard.”
President Trump also denied the allegations.
“I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes. There is nobody that respects them more,” the president said. “So, I just think it’s a horrible, horrible thing… no animal, nobody, what animal would say such a thing.”
He also called it “a disgraceful attempt to influence the 2020 Election.”

One of the people that want to see Trump go down is John Bolton and in this case he accidentaly helped President Trump in revealing the truth about the report.
Bolton stated in his memoir that President Trump canceled a visit to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris over weather, undercutting a key claim in a recent story from The Atlantic that the president scrapped the trip because of the “losers” and “suckers” buried there.
Bolton who is a prominent Trump critic, months ago in his memoir “The Room Where It Happened.” On the canceled trip to Aisne-Marne he wrote:
On Saturday, I went to the U.S. Ambassador’s residence, where Trump was staying, to brief him for his bilateral with [French President Emmanuel Macron]. The weather was bad and [former Chief of Staff John Kelly] and I spoke about whether to travel as planned to the Chateau-Thierry Belleau Woods monuments and nearby American Cemeteries, where many U.S. World War I were buried. Marine One’s crew were saying that bad visibility could make it imprudent to chopper to the cemetery. The ceiling was not too low for Marines to fly in combat, but flying POTUS was obviously something very different. If a motorcade were necessary, it could take between ninety and a hundred and twenty minutes each way, along roads that were not exactly freeways, posing an unacceptable risk that we could not get the President out of France quickly enough in case of an emergency. It was a straightforward decision to cancel the visit but very hard for a Marine like Kelly to recommend, having originally been the one to suggest Belleau Wood (an iconic battle in Marine Corps history). Trump agreed, and it was decided that others would drive to the cemetery instead.
Bolton continued:
The press turned canceling the military visit into a story that Trump was afraid of the rain and took glee in pointing out that other world leaders traveled around during the day. Of course, none of them were President of the United States, but the press didn’t understand that rules for US presidents are different from the rules for 190 other leaders who don’t command the world’s greatest military forces.
The press is like a bunch of kids scrambling for candy after the pinata busts open on this one. Seems like this could be legally approached and some charges pressed.

This was a hit piece that was probably scheduled to drop in early October this was probably speeded it up as is Biden’s campaigning by the dnc internals starting to look like a ski slope
I believe Democrats [well ok, but I take the perpetually lying Sheldon at his word here].
Well, there you go. The left celebrated Bolton’s book when they thought it could be used against Trump but now, I’m sure Bolton’s back to being a gnotsie now that it debunks something they desperately want to be true.
The press will claim Bolton is a liar.
Rush reporting that an ad magically appeared this morning on MSDNC with parents of vets saying—my son is not a loser. The Dems are a disgrace!
I'll bet he wished he left that out.
Did Trump OK adding the cemetery visit to his schedule?
Of course he did.
If Trump had some ulterior motive for not wanting to visit that cemetery he would never have added it to his official schedule. That schedule is the basis for organizing Trump security. It puts lots of agents on the move. No way would trump make a mistake like that.
My sentiments exactly. I swear, President Trump HAS to be a Freeper. Okay, WHO ARE YOU out there????
El Rushbo just said that this fake news about Trump was intended to get the spotlight off Nazi Pelosi and her hairdressing arrogance.
The fake news media probably had wanted to save it for an October Surprise.
We are at war for the soul of this nation.
Not only that but Bolton already talked to the NYT and he said the story is BOGUS..NEVER HAPPENED..it was a “Straight up weather call” and that he NEVER EVER heard Trump say ANYTHING disparaging about our military in his presence and he was in the room, he said it never happened..period! So I wonder now, the commie left, who adored Bolton months ago, are going to turn on Bolton now that he turned their bogus story to utter poo poo
On flags being half-staff after McCain died, Trump allegedly said, “What the f*** are we doing that for? Guy was a f***ing loser.”
Nonsense! McCain was one of the very few Cold War ace fighter pilots!
He got shot down in, burned up in, crashed on landing in, ejected from or destroyed FIVE different US Navy planes all by himself!
See if the Atlantic had wanted to make the story look legit, they would have just said what he supposedly said about McCain, because McCain was a traitorous jacka@@ who betrayed his country, spread around a phony dossier to destroy this President..he did NOT deserve a 9 day freakin funeral, he deserved to get his ass thrown in the ground and thats the end of it
Gotta be killing him now.
The USMC official KIA and DOW total for Belleau Wood is about half the bogus 1800 claimed in this article. Took me about 45 seconds to find it.
In case you didn’t already know, the media cannot be relied upon to get even the simplest fact right.
We're wasting money on these 'social experiment' fools...
Just a campaign smear in hopes the totality of their lies will accrue more votes for Biden, echoed and reverberated by the MSM.
