President Trump has called American infantrymen who died on French soil “losers” from World War I on vacation to France in 2018, according to various resources cited via The Atlantic. The cemetery, which was eventually canceled and blamed for bad weather, was allegedly part of a plan through the commander-in-chief to denigrate the slain service members.
In a separate verbal exchange, around the same time, Trump called the fallen Marines of World War I at Belleau Wood “fools” for being killed.The site of a back-to-back war in US history is the site of a back-to-back war in US history.But it’s not the first time The Germans advanced to Paris in 1918.Trump reportedly expressed confusion about this, asking aides, “Who were the smart guys in this war?
The president has a long history of attacks on those of his own party, and added the late Republican leader John McCain, whom he called a loser when he saw flags lowered in part from the mast in mcCain’s honor after his death in 2018.”He’s not a war hero,” Trump said of McCain in 2015, when he was still nominated for the Republican presidential nomination.”I like other people who weren’t captured.”
Trump himself, of course, did not serve in the army, having won a suspension of service in Vietnam due to the alleged presence of bone spurs on his feet.In the 1990s, Trump said his attempts to prevent sexually transmitted infections were his.”Vietnam staff.”
