John Bolton denies Trump called war dead 'suckers' and 'losers'
2020-09-06
[WND] John Bolton is no friend of Donald Trump, but the president's former national security adviser on Friday disputed the anonymously sourced story by The Atlantic claiming Trump called fallen World War I soldiers "losers" and "suckers."

"I didn't hear that," Bolton told the New York Times. "I'm not saying he didn't say them later in the day or another time but I was there for that discussion."

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, in a story titled "Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers,'" also claimed Trump skipped a 2018 visit to a cemetery near Paris where American service members are buried because he didn't want to ruin his hair.

White House press secretary Kaylie McEnaney said Friday there are 10 on-the-record sources "debunking" the claims of four anonymous sources.

#5  If I told the Atlantic editors that I hated Trump, do you suppose they'd be interested in buying the Brooklyn Bridge from me? I could use the money.

#3  Read elsewhere - Had Bolton heard something even remotely like this, there would have been a whole chapter in his book about it.
