Now imagine a democratic candidate for any office -- hell, or a republican for that matter -- who dodged the draft five times claiming to be braver than fallen combat heroes, the And if you go back to events during Trump's visit to France in early Nov 2018....the Armistice Day Centenary....here are excerpts from a report of an article in the Atlantic, and an article in Military Times recounting Trump's refusal to attend the ceremony at the US Marine cemetary because soldiers who were killed or captured are losers. And he also didn't want to get his orange hair wet. So....if Trump wants now to picture himself as braver than a loser....I'm not going to argue with him!
FROM France24.com:"US President Donald Trump referred to US Marines buried in a WWI cemetery in France as "losers" and "suckers" for getting killed in action, according to a report Thursday in the Atlantic magazine.
The report, penned by the magazine's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, said Trump had refused to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 because "he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain," although the official explanation offered by aides was that the helicopter due to take him there could not fly due to weather.
"In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, 'Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers,'" the article said.
https://www.france24.com/en/20200904-trump-passed-...FROM: Military TimesA new report details multiple instances of President Donald Trump making disparaging remarks about members of the U.S. military who have been captured or killed, including referring to the American war dead at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018 as “losers” and “suckers.”
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.
Staffers from the National Security Council and the Secret Service told Trump that rainy weather made helicopter travel to the cemetery risky, but they could drive there. Trump responded by saying he didn’t want to visit the cemetery because it was “filled with losers,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss it publicly.
