This Earlier Story Is Still Eating At My Mind. . .

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers'

The greatest insult ever made to our military who died during wartime was by our very own Commander-in- Chief Donald Trump.



"Trump ejected the idea of a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018. He blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that "the helicopter couldn't fly" and the Secret Service wouldn't drive him there. Neither claim was true. 

He rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day.

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." In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau wood as "suckers" for getting killed."   -  by  Jeffrey Goldberg , The Atlantic
                                           

There are no limits to Trump's narcissistic personality disorder.  His father found a way with the help of his family doctor's letters of explanation for his minimal "bone heel" ailment to get him deferred from the draft numerous times.
