This is just who Trump is. A man who was terrified, and absolutely refused to serve his nation, with five deferments, now openly disparages those who do. Why? An extreme lack of self esteem, made worse by those brave men and women who did serve their nation. There is a public record of him disparaging John McCain, who was a hero. Also, the gold star parents of the soldier who lost his life. And many others. So, it is not a stretch to imagine he would mock the "great generation", and the many who lost their lives to make sure we could remain free of tyranny. He simply represents the worst in all of us. and has a stunningly black and malicious heart. He must be stopped. He must be ousted, and he WILL lose the election. We will make it so!

Exactly. It has the ring of truth to it based on many things we already fully know as facts from his history. 

 

I suspect and hope some of the sources will risk the hit and go public. 

 

I doubt this story is over.

be real for once.... who signs up to go die for lies ?

The Goebbels quote is exactly Trump's MO. Always has been, even before he ran for president.

Has he released his tax returns yet? And what is Trump's agenda?

Here is link to Fox News confirmation of many of the "hit job" aspects of Atlantic article. Fox is generally not regarded as part of the liberal media cabal, ya think?

Which is more likely?

Media across the spectrum are all working together to concoct a hit job story

or

Trump said what is reported and it fits well with what we have known about him for decades?

 

I can see you're concerned about these latest revelations and you should be.  This is Trump's "Swift Boat"....to use a GOP jargon.  It doesn't matter who the source is because it's entirely believable.  These allegations will cost Trump a big chunk of his military coalition, no doubt.  My condolences. 

 

LOLOLOL.... The military loves Trump. You can choose to believe the leftist media who makes up stories to defeat Trump or you can judge Trump by his actions. Obama/Biden decimated the military in their 8 years. Trump is building it back. Inconvenient truths for the Trump haters.

Retired Army Colonel Jack Jacobs Confirms Trump’s Frequent Military Slams

Well, to use what seems to be a well accepted phrase equated to truth and legitimacy, "ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING" that apparently Colonel Jack Jacobs is one of those losers...or is it a sucker? Perhaps one of the TV MAGAnese can enlighten us with some clarification on the designated distinction that Dear President would label him as....and Jennifer Griffin? Obviously a Fake News Mob Rogue Hack at that failing news source over there at that once reliable slant on the events of the day....and probably a very "nasty" person to boot.

Someday DT will be gone, and the military will still be there.  Fox would like to maintain its standing in the armed forces community.

There is a fear in Murdochland that if DT stops being president he will start his own network and compete with them.

I don’t think any rational person believes he said any of that, and people who were there with trump have all denied he said it. 
 

There’s something to be said about “the Atlantic” being the one to publish this as well. It can easily be implied that CNN NYT MSNBC etc all got the same info but didn’t publish because it doesn’t meet editorial standards. 
 

And lastly, anonymous sources, as per usual. 
 

But par for the course. The election is 2 months away and they need to get the media off of Biden being constantly retarded. 

Well, here's a difference of opinion:

 

I don't think any rational person doesn't believe he said all of that, and people who were there with 45 all corroborate it.

 

I have also heard it directly from people who have heard him make these statements.   EVERYBODY heard him make disparaging statements about Sen John McCain. Conversely, NOBODY---not even putin---has heard him make statements taking exception to russia offering the taliban bounties on US Soldiers.

 

As for 'anonymous sources', do you mean like his Birther drivel?

Even the Republican led Senate Intelligence Community confirmed recently that the Trump team sought Russian assistance actively in the last election. But don't take their word for it. How about Jennifer Griffin, who is a Fox News National Security Correspondent...
 

Quote

Regarding McCain, "The President just hated John McCain. He always asked, 'Why do you see him as a hero?" Two sources confirmed the President did not want flags lowered but others in the White House ordered them at half mast. There was a stand off and then the President relented.

 

Quote

Regarding Trump's July 4th military parade, during a planning session at the White House after seeing the Bastille Day parade in 2017, the President said regarding the inclusion of "wounded guys" "that's not a good look" "Americans don't like that," source confirms.

 

Quote

 

Two former sr Trump admin officials confirm .

@JeffreyGoldberg reporting that President Trump disparaged veterans and did not want to drive to honor American war dead at Aisne-Marne Cemetery outside Paris.

 

Quote

President Trump's staff explained he could cancel (his visit to the cemetery), but he was warned, 'They (the press) are going to kill you for this'." The President was mad as a hornet when they did.

Perhaps you missed the SSCI Report on the Russia investigation, where it stated that Manafort was intimately involved with Konstatin Kilimnik throughout the campaign, and that 45 committed perjury when he sent written answers to Mueller claiming he was unaware of the upcoming Wilileaks data.

 

Incidentally, that 1000 page report was released by the Republican-controlled Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). Republican.

 

As for 45, 276 trips to his golf course, costing the US Taxpayer over $130,000,000, plus his constant call-ins to Fox says the guy has oodles of free time 'to pursue his agenda'.

Instead of the visit, Trump spent hours on that Saturday afternoon holed up watching television inside the US ambassador's residence, people familiar with the situation said.

 

 

Remarks by President Trump After Air Force One Arrival | Joint Base Andrews, MD | September 3, 2020

 

So I said, “No, I want to do it.” They said, “You can’t.” There was no way I would have been able to do it. And they would never have been able to get the police and everybody else in line to have a President go through a very crowded, very congested area.

 

So I went and I called home. I spoke to my wife. I said, “I hate this. I came here to go to that ceremony,” and to the one that was the following day, which I did go to. I said, “I feel terribly.” And that was the end of it.

I remember the French press was mocking Trump about his fake bad weather excuse and showed the weather report at that time. I'll try to find it.

Here it is! The weather forecast at the time of the planned visit at the American cemetery was "rare showers" and "gusts of wind of max 40kph (25mph)". These weather conditions were not a problem for the type of helicopter Trump was using.

It's amazing how many fell for this made up stuff. The story was never verified and yet it makes it on this forum. All those there including some who don't get along with trump like Bolton say it never happened. This was a DNC dirty trick fed to the Atlantic . About the same time the article came out Biden had an ad on it. They wanted to win the news cycle because of the Job numbers coming out. The election is going to be dirty and the democrat's are going to try and lie their way to a win.

No. The story seems to be true, confirmed by multiple media all over the political spectrum.

Not all those present say it never happened. Bolton didn't say it never happened.

Biden's ad was significantly after this story came out.

So far it is the Republicans that have an insurmountable lead in the lie count.

 

Yes, it will be a dirty election, mainly due to Trump's lies and ad hominem attacks.
