Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has disputed a story in The Atlantic claiming that President Donald Trump called fallen World War I soldiers losers. Bolton told the New York Times Friday that I was there and I didnt hear that.
The Atlantics Jeffrey Goldberg published an article titled Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are Losers and Suckers. The story also claimed that Trump skipped a 2018 visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris, where the fallen of the battle of Belleau Wood are buried, because he feared rain would ruin his hair. Goldbergs sources were all anonymous.
-SNIP-
Techno Fog @Techno_Fog On that Atlantic Story -
@JeffreyGoldberg and his "four sources" claim Trump's helicopter flight to the US/French cemetery wasn't cancelled due to weather.
FOIA docs prove this to be false.
Their "sources" are failing basic fact checks - making them essentially worthless.

Cause Ole Sleepy is collapsing in the polls everywhere. They are in a panic
As for “well done”...I was engaging in sarcasm.Assuming that the claims about military support aren't true that my “well done” comment was meant to say “you filthy Rat Party scum,how dare you!”
I've been accused of many things in my life...but being a Rat ain't one of them.
THANK YOU BOLTON!
They needed to get Pelosi off the front page
Ha, I was just discussing this article with a Facebook “friend” of mine... she unfriended me. Oh well...
Trump should sue both the Atlantic and Fox News who has also “independently reported” this.
Libel.
It’s disgraceful.
I would guess that part of the problem for Bolton is that he is enough of an egomaniac that he isn't going to be owned by someone like this.
This was done to split off more of the military to Biden.
No, whats been touted is a poll of Military Times readers which in turn is owned by far left gannett and has nothing to do with what rank and file troops believe.
It was absolutely coordinated and anyone with a brain can see it. The poll comes out, is pushed by the Soros press, its followed by the Goldberg droppings and then an ad by Biden.
Its textbook gaslighting.
Way cool!
Pulling out of the Middle East hurt Trump A LOT.
People whose entire careers and livelihood were wrapped up in that are not happy.
Not to mention socialism is not a bad thing to people in the military as they are living in a socialist system. Everything is decided for you.
Bolton actually retains some personal integrity?
Jennifer Griffen didn’t “confirm the story”. All she did was talk to a couple of the anonymous sources-all of whom were FORMER admin personnel.
Let’s guess who they might be, shall we?
I’ll start:
Scary-moochy
Well I just saw the story on newsy and it was a video and on the chiron is said “Trump denies story” but the video kept playing and they even tied it into the military poll from a few days ago showing the military approval was slipping away.
The story is a lie but it keeps on playing.
I don’t think he can because he is the President if he was a civilian i think he could.
What do you think the next surprise will be?
Bump
