Eta: I just did some research and there are absolutely no veterans in the Trump paternal family tree. Zero.

But they did make some nice profit off of building and managing army barracks. Does that count as service?
I'm sure in his mind it does. He said that his buildings were his great sacrifice when challenged by a gold star father.

I’d also like to add that those buildings used to house military personnel were financed through low interest FHA government subsidized loans making it even more profitable. Such tremendous sacrifice by the Trump family. True patriots.

^^^^^ Irrelevant.

Plenty of people critcizing Trump about the issues that poster raised aren't Democrats.

Criticizing Trump doesn't make someone a Democrat.

Everything isn't 'Us vs. Them'.

Trump is a total scumbag. The Democrats should take a hard look at themselves and ask how they managed to lose to him.

You know the media are dishonest and not about reporting the news when there are zero news articles incorporating then-Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' (who was in France and with the president when these alleged remarks were made) September 3rd on-the-record Tweet vigorously denying that the president ever made such statements. In short, the media are going out of the way to report on official, on-the-record statements that go against the narrative being presented here, which (regardless of whether you want to believe the anonymous sources or not) should trouble us all.

As I've stated, anonymous statements will NEVER be more credible to me than official, on-the-record statements.

Sarah Sanders lies so much she can't even call her dog. I'd view her denial as an affirmative.

That's a rather unhinged rebuttal. But, to play this game, you don't even know who the anonymous sources are and yet are willing to buy into them. Before Huckabee Sanders' statement, for all we know the anonymous source could have been her, which by your logic would mean that the opposite would have been true. But you're still willing to give credence to them Something tells me that you believe that anyone who has worked for the administration is a liar, which is even more humorous.

I know that three other news gathering organizations independently confirmed the statements with their sources. Whether they were the same sources Jeffrey Goldberg quoted or not is irrelevant, because Trump could have easily made the comments on more than one occasion with different people in the room. The statements stand on their own lack of merit. I'm willing to place a wager on two of the sources being Kelly and Mattis.

All of the people who work for the administration may not be liars, but every press secretary Trump has had, Spicer, Sanders, Conway, and McEnany, are all inveterate sequential liars who can be easily fact checked.

Tomorrow, the LEFT WING MSM will be outraged that Trump brushed his teeth too long.

Even Bolton ,who was THERE, no Trump lover, came out and said it NEVER WAS SAID by Trump.
