Even a Fox News Reporter Confirms That Donald Trump Said Awful Things About Fallen Soldiers
A bombshell report in The Atlantic was published on Thursday and it claimed that President Trump, while in office, disparaged fallen soldiers and said that Americans who died at war are “losers” and “suckers.”
While the president and his administration deny the allegations, there are several other news outlets confirming that the comments are true.
Most surprisingly, Jennifer Griffin, who is the National Security Correspondent for Fox News, says that she has confirmed the report with two former senior Trump administration officials.
Griffin says that the officials confirm that “Trump disparaged veterans and did not want to drive to honor American war dead at Aisne-Marne Cemetery outside Paris.”
Griffin says that she read quotes from The Atlantic‘s article to one of the former Trump officials and the official said, “The President would say things like that. He doesn’t know why people join the military. He would muse, ‘Why do they do it’?”

According to one former senior Trump administration official: "When the President spoke about the Vietnam War, he said, 'It was a stupid war. Anyone who went was a sucker'."

This former official heard the President say about American veterans: "What's in it for them? They don't make any money." Source: "It was a character flaw of the President. He could not understand why someone would die for their country, not worth it."

I read the source a few quotes from The Atlantic article. This former Trump admin official said, "The President would say things like that. He doesn't know why people join the military. He would muse, 'Why do they do it'?"

Re: trip to mark 100th anniversary of WW I
Source: "The President was not in a good mood. Macron had said something that made him mad about American reliability and the need perhaps for a European army. He questioned why he had to go to two cemeteries. 'Why do I have to do two'?"— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) September 4, 2020
President Trump's staff explained he could cancel (his visit to the cemetery), but he was warned, 'They (the press) are going to kill you for this'." The President was mad as a hornet when they did.

When asked IF the President could have driven to the Aisne-Marne Cemetery, this former official said confidently:
"The President drives a lot. The other world leaders drove to the cemeteries. He just didn't want to go."— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) September 4, 2020
Regarding Trump's July 4th military parade, during a planning session at the White House after seeing the Bastille Day parade in 2017, the President said regarding the inclusion of "wounded guys" "that's not a good look" "Americans don't like that," source confirms.

Regarding McCain, "The President just hated John McCain. He always asked, 'Why do you see him as a hero?" Two sources confirmed the President did not want flags lowered but others in the White House ordered them at half mast. There was a stand off and then the President relented.
