The Atlantic magazine is reporting President Trump has repeatedly disparaged U.S. soldiers who died or were wounded in war, describing them as “losers” and “suckers.” The magazine reports Trump canceled a trip in 2018 to a World War I cemetery in France where U.S. marines are buried, because “he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain.” Trump is quoted as saying, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” Trump also opposed the inclusion of wounded veterans in a proposed 2018 parade, saying, “Nobody wants to see that.” President Trump dismissed the report in The Atlantic as fake news.
