On President Trump’s denial of reporting by the Atlantic that he called Americans who died in war “losers” and “suckers,” retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey says, “It’s very plausible to me. It’s exactly what he said.”

VT: For some, it is taking down the banner and replacing it with a smaller sign, further from the road; for others, no change to Biden, the Trump sign just hits the trash. Will votes change or has the insult against American military and veterans that overtly backing Trump announces found some still capable of shame?
NEW VIDEO:
This is who Trump is: someone who calls America's veterans and fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" then vehemently denies he ever said it.
So, who do you believe? Trump? Or the Atlantic, Associated Press, Washington Post, New York Times, Fox News and CNN? pic.twitter.com/ZmWTi9npCe

VT isn’t late into recognizing Trump as someone who despises American veterans. Lots of Washington politicians are chickenhawk-draftdodgers; the GOP is filled with them, the likes of Rush Limbaugh with a pimple on his ass or Trump’s imaginary ‘bone spur.
He doesn’t just dishonor those who served, or those who died or were wounded. He dishonors those currently serving every single day, who are now ordered to burn wheat fields to starve Syrian children.
🔥🔥TRUMP TRASH🔥🔥
💥 Calls U.S. troops who died in war “losers" & "suckers"

💥Wanted to keep disabled veterans out of parades
💥Degrades our POWs‼️

From Yahoo News:
“The allegations were first reported in The Atlantic. A senior Defense Department official with firsthand knowledge of events and a senior U.S. Marine Corps officer who was told about Trump’s comments confirmed some of the remarks to The Associated Press, including the 2018 cemetery comments. Photographs of Belleau Wood USMC Cemetery by Gordon and Carol Duff (taken in the rain – Gordon Duff who served with the 5th Marines wears a French Fourragère in honor of Belleau Wood on his uniform…it it still fits)
The defense officials said Trump made the comments as he begged off visiting the cemetery outside Paris during a meeting following his presidential daily briefing on the morning of Nov. 10, 2018.
The White House blamed the canceled visit on poor weather at the time.
In another conversation on the trip, The Atlantic said, Trump referred to the 1,800 Marines who died in the World War I battle of Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.”

I noticed all of my conservative and military friends who support Trump have gone dark today. I wonder if calling the men who died in service to our nation losers and suckers opened their eyes. Perhaps, but likely not. How long before we return to everything being Obama's fault?

I am old enough to recall that he marketed Trump University to veterans and survivors, hoping to scoop up their military education benefits.
Yup: Trump scammed veterans, widows and orphans. After all, they're suckers who deserve to lose their money! https://t.co/roszJZevMe

A new report details multiple instances of 45 making disparaging remarks about members of the U.S. military who have been captured or killed, including the American war dead at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France as “losers” and “suckers.” https://t.co/AcfOfvf7Ky

30 to 50% of Trump signs…down thus far.
Fox News Channel’s @JenGriffinFNC stands by her reporting on Trump repeatedly insulting U.S. military heroes.
She circled back with one source today, who firmly said “this was not a one-off.” Her source says Trump repeatedly called John McCain and veterans “suckers.” pic.twitter.com/aPXSHKSeCR

Votes changed? We don’t think so.
Multiple Trump administration officials have now confirmed that he repeatedly disparaged veterans and fallen service members, calling them “losers” and “suckers.” Any military personnel or veterans who still support Trump should hold their head in shame.

It's not a coincidence that Trump ordered closure of 'Stars and Stripes', the military's independent newspaper, a day after it was revealed he called fallen American soldiers, "Losers" and "Suckers". Trump is trying to manipulate the military vote.

Trump called our military dead "losers" & "suckers" & didn't want wounded vets in his military parade because "nobody wants to see that." He doesn't give a fuck that 186,000 Americans have died of Covid-19. He's a psychopath & the world's luckiest serial killer. #VOTEBIDENHARRIS

John Kelly appears to be in a unique position to confirm whether President Trump called U.S service members who died in combat “losers” and “suckers.”#TraitorTrumphttps://t.co/tnPlkKnwv0

Wow , two commentators scolded by GD and right now I’m feel bloated coz I been at VT for more than a Decade and maybe my comments are ignored totally or maybe I been within reasonable limits coz I’ve never been scolded here .
I did once annoy Gordon elsewhere and I don’t want to remind anyone of that .
Nice try fuckead. Asshole. Have a nice day, go play in traffic.
Seafrog: Why do idiots come to VT? Go the fuck away. Certainly don’t comment. It isn’t ignorance and can’t be corrected. Your disease is one of the heart. Nothing fixes that.
Thank you for your subtle campaign. A couple of question: which one of the two just gifted the whatever was left of Palestine to Likud and recognized Golan as Israel ? Which one of the two wants the continuation of Syrian genocide ? And more importantly which one wants a war with Iran to make his boss happy ?
A couple of free quotes if you insist that both do:
“Today’s decision to violate the Iran nuclear deal jeopardizes our national security and isolates us from our closest allies. This nuclear deal is not perfect, but it is certainly the best existing tool we have to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and avoid a disastrous military conflict in the Middle East.”
“sending troops into Syria to fight ISIS would be a “mistake,” but not allowing Syrian refugees into the United States would betray American values.”
Now carry on with your campaign.
No surprise here. Trump sounded eerily close to what his zio-miester Henry Kissinger once said, “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”
Lol. That sounds like Q-Anon narrative. Va te faire foutre.
“He dishonors those currently serving every single day, who are now ordered to burn wheat fields to starve Syrian children.” Mr. Trump doesn’t have to dishonor those military people who burn wheat fields. They dishonor themselves. This is clearly a war crime and as difficult as it would be in a military environment to refuse an order it is the duty of a soldier to refuse to perform a war crime.
Point taken.
