Trump didn't cancel visit to American military cemetery in France over disdain for slain veterans, sources say
Fox News ^ | September 04 2020 | John Roberts, Tyler Olson

Posted on 09/04/2020 11:49:54 AM PDT by knighthawk

President Trump canceled a planned 2018 trip to a cemetery for American war dead in France because of the weather and not because of disdain for the slain soldiers who are buried there or concern about how the weather would affect his hair, sources told Fox News, despite a report from The Atlantic making that claim.

Two sources who were on the trip in question with Trump refuted the main thesis of The Atlantic's reporting -- that Trump canceled a trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, which is at the site of Belleau Wood, an important World War I battle, because he believed the dead soldiers to be "losers" and "suckers."

The White House had said at the time the decision was made because of poor weather for flying Marine One and the fact that the cemetery was too far a distance for a motorcade to drive.

I wouldn’t believe a word the damned leftwing trash Atlantic writes. And this Goldberg jerk who authored this lie was apparently a top notch Obama sycophant, slurping to kiss his butt at every press conference.

Surely with a lie this serious there must be some legal recourse. If not, what’s to stop our side from throwing a scandalous story to the wall to see what sticks.

Didn’t Obama work out in Germany instead of meeting the troops in 2008?

So we have a battle of unnamed sources? Some unnamed sources say Trump cancelled because of his hair and other unnamed sources say the first unnamed sources are liars.

Megan McCains husband. In that case Trump should reveal that McCain shopped the fake dossier.

Meaghan’s husband, Ben Domenech, is criticizing the Atlantic story, according to your link.

My brother was KIA in the war; if I thought any of this was true I would be mad as hell. But not one f-ing word of it is; you can tell by Trump’s actions over the past four years and before - he routinely meets dead soldiers coffins returning from overseas, has consistently attended veterans’ events (unlike Obama and Mr. Senile), he funded the NYC Vietnam Veterans celebration sponsored by Ed Koch to the tune of one million dollars in the 80s. Yet another pack of lies by the desperate media; expect more of their lies and cheating in the next 60 days.

“..sources told Fox News...”

Poor wording, Fox News. Everyone present with the President at the time has publicly said the charge is a lie. Plain and simple. And they all identified themselves, so use their names. Poor reporting.

The link originally said that Goldberg was Meghan’s husband. It has been corrected after I requested it. I also requested that my post here be deleted as in error.
