John Kelly confirms Trump’s ‘suckers’ remark about war dead
Former White House chief of staff John Kelly confirmed several remarks his former boss, former President Trump, reportedly made during his time in the administration, including one where Trump referred to dead U.S. service members as “suckers.” -snip
"A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them. A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me." -snip
"A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France." -snip
"A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law." -snip
This has been spoken about for years, we openly saw it in 2016 and Trump's years of attacking John McCain over being a POW. Trump does not respect our service men and women, he believes they're "suckers" and "losers".
Trumpers as always, do not care.
