He's already allowed American troops to have bounties on their heads by Russia, and lied about receiving the intelligence on this matter. Then backtracked once caught in the lie. And still hasn't said a word to Putin about it. This means he doesn't back American soldiers that are alive. Shows he has zero respect for soldiers and cares more about Putin.

Trump said he likes people who weren't caught. How many American POW's have there been over the years?

Because Trump's feelings were hurt by McCain he slandered every American POW. It's disgusting.

Just say it -- it was a terrible thing to say.

And yes this new info. may be bogus, hearsay, gossip but it does resurface Trump's feeling that POW's aren't heroes.

here they go with anonymous sources supposedly saying he said this and that0. Right at election time they come out with this lol. You would think that if he actually said this those accusing him would come forward

"according to sources with knowledge" yeah? so what is their names?

Meanwhile Pelosi is caught on camera breaking rules and another democrat caught on mic by accident saying " if it wasn't my primary I wouldn't care".

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/03/polit...ent/index.html

but we do know the name of the author who the article and he has a history of working for left leaning media and being critical of conservatives, so given Jeffery Goldberg has that history and can't name sources to the alleged accusations well then.......

Something that keeps going around in this article is "unnamed sources". Unless there is a physical name associated with it I would not trust it.

Just a reprehensible human being.

Have you ever been to Dover? It is seriously the most gut wrenching, hardest things I've EVER experienced (other than seeing my husbands dead body because I needed to know it was him). To this day I have very strong emotions over that evening.

I do not for a second believe this happened.
Why would it shock you if he said it out loud? Given that he doesn't exactly choose his words carefully when he knows they will be on the record, I can't begin to imagine what he says when there aren't any reporters around.

That said, while I think it plausible he did say it, I'm not going to take this report as gospel either.

He said McCain wasn't a war hero because he was captured and he liked heroes that didn't get captured. This from a guy whose father found him a doctor who falsified a medical excuse to keep him out of Vietnam. Why that wasn't the end of his candidacy I have no idea.

I remember the 2018 trip to France for the hundredth anniversary of the end of WWI, and I remember his not wanting to go to the cemetery. Excuses were made about the weather, same as they were when they canceled his NH rally because no one wanted to go. He has NO respect for the military. If you believe he does, look at his history. It is ALL about him, as every second of his life has been.

.....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.

I’ve asked numerous general officers over the past year for their analysis of Trump’s seeming contempt for military service. They offer a number of explanations.

Trashy Trump trashing the military.

What a NASTY man.

Trump has done nothing for veterans but use them as props and pawns in furthering his own interests. This story is consistent with every action and unstaged utterance of Trump since he was dodging the draft back in the 60s. Anyone who does not believe this is a delusional fool.
