Donald Trump thinks that if you serve your nation you are a 'loser' or 'sucker'. That's according to the news article in the Atlantic. It references multiple remarks Trump made about veterans that served in places like France. According to the article, these were the words said by the President in the conversation with the senior staff members. Trump was supposed to visit so as to honour the people. But the president decided to cancel the visit at last-minute saying that the helicopter couldn't fly due to bad weather conditions and the secret service wouldn't allow to drive him to the place. There is a lot of controversies regarding this issue. Family members of the fallen soldiers reacted on social media. Moreover back in 2015 his statement on John McCain for not being a hero as he was captured and imprisoned, further aggravated the situation.
The angry president forcefully denied the allegation that was made in the Atlantic magazine that he disparaged the killed and wounded soldiers. He claimed that to be fake news and said, "I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes. No animal nobody what animal would say such things." He reacted to the magazine saying that it to be a terrible magazine. He told nobody respects the fallen soldiers more that he does. He also mentioned the military budgets and the pay raises in the conversation. The Atlantic was the first to report the allegations about President Trump. According to his advisers, Trump doesn't understand the idea of why so many people would sign up for military service, risking their lives for low pay. Trump had such storms before but for the first time in four years, a lot of troops had negative views against the president
