Trump denies report that he spoke disparagingly of U.S. war dead

[Thingamabob]

This is an example of how low the Dems will go to take attention away from Biden's senility and his messy baggage.

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. 

Hmmm, let me see. Who to believe? A man who has in excess of 20,000 documented lies and misleading statements or the cited sources in a printed article which equal libel if not true (plus the statement by General Kelly). I think I will lean to believing the article and await legal action for libel changes if untrue.

Gets a bit ridiculous having this glaring falsehood presented as fact a few hundred times a day, without being allowed to be challenged.

 

"His falsehoods include such incredible claims such as accurately stating the number of new jobs since the election. Or Trump saying he signed executive orders that he did, in fact, sign. Or claiming that Sen. Bernie Sanders, who wants corporate taxes to increase, worker wages to rise, and stock buybacks to end, wants 401(k) values to “dissipate.”

If those don’t sound so fraudulent, that’s because they’re not. "

Yes, awesome example of taking "the high road", by calling someone senile.

 

What is "messy baggage" anyway?

 

Good deflection though: score 70 (out of 100).

Anyone is free to go to a multitude of fact checking cites to see the documentation of lies and distortions. It is no secret nor is it demonstrated to be unfounded. But then, ?I openly oppose the man on the basis of his own documented words, his own documented policies and his own documented actions. Support him as you wish. This also documents what you support.

Its more likely to be repubs that reported it. I doubt any dems were involved with the discussion.

Good post and of course not forgetting that this poor excuse for a human being DID denigrate John McCain who was an American War hero. This POS really can't go any lower, but then again!

This is a Democratic tactic.  Accuse Trump of all sorts of things such as the "Russian Collusion"  Keep him so occupied defending himself that he can not dedicate his time to pursuing his agenda.  They did the same thing when Romney ran and they accused him of paying no income taxes which was not true but he exhausted effort in refuting the claim. 

Speaking of Republican candidates and their taxes...where does the need to hide your taxes that you go all the way to the SCOTUS rank on your distraction\exhaustion meter? Obviously yet another insidious far left liberal fake news plot to keep The Man down...

He always goes lower. You can count on that. He has tried to and largely succeeded in normalizing lowness.

Even your source admits the number of falsehoods is at least 75% of the number given. Want to argue about 20 or 15 k?

When one lies as often as he does, the default position that should be taken is that he is lying again. If you don't want to put yourself in that position, stop lying.

Interesting that trump seems to have forgotten that his wife accompanied him to France?

 

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.

Damn....if only Trump had AG Barr in Paris commanding a platoon of pepper ball toting tactical police to unload into that liberal socialist French horde so the road could have been plowed and a path cleared for a Dear President Power Walk to the cemetery...he could have brought The Bible and took a selfie for his twitter...I blame France.

Just look at all the stuff about Trump there is hundreds of clips and interviews

about him you must be very lucky to find one which favors him.

Which could be because there is a vast global conspiracy to disrespect a wise, valiant and immensely tolerant world statesman; or it could be because he is always gobbing off about anyone who isn't an unconditional admirer of the Donald...

 

You pay your taxes (or not as the case may be) and you takes your choice!

Since when does MAGA Force ever believe anything John Bolton has to say anyhow? 2 months ago they swore up and down he was lying vindictive scum and "The Room Where It Happened" belonged in the Fiction section at Barnes and Noble...now he is a trusted news source and validation of all that is Military Loving Trump.

 

I think it must be a really exhausting mental exercise to have to find creative ways to defend all that is "The Stable Genius With The Best Words"...because unfortunately for MAGA Force The Stable Genius keeps using his best words...

On the contrary, Trump made at least several "nasty" comments referencing military service of rivals, more nasty comments on parents of a dead soldier etc., so why consider this report outlandish? It's quite in character, as far as Trump goes.

 

Your convulsed attempt to tar the Atlantic is pathetic. You've no idea if others got the same story, you've no idea about editorial considerations. You're just on the offense because something unfavorable to your idol was published, that's all there is to it.

 

Don't recall you having much issues with Trump spreading unverified stories, conspiracy theories and the like. Don't recall you having much issues with someone-told-me, many-people-say, I-heard-somewhere, and the rest of the covfefe the President often uses as cover for his nonsense.

wasn't Trump recorded making disgraceful remarks about a an American hero who was captured during the Vietnam  war with America...... no denial he said ''i do not like him'' i like the ones who were not captured''...... sounds about right for someone who sat at home with his ''bone spurs''

Actually, the lie here seems to be coming from you. Factcheck.org says no such thing. And a Fox News reporter got corroboration for some of statements that the Atlantic article contained.

Personally I don't think that America should have gone to war in Vietnam. I understand those who stood up and refused the draft for reasons of conviction, although I do not agree with them. 

 

Those who used money, influence and medical fraud to dodge the draft yet were prepared to let others, less favoured, fortunate or wealthy to go, fight and die are the lowest of the low.

you'd think they could'a just snuck the "beast" into any one of the multitude of official motorcades of the other attendees crisscrossing paris going to various functions that very same day.  strange that the other delegates had no trouble traveling throughout the area.  it is what it is.

This could be a big issue for Trump given that not just reputable, albeit liberal, news sources have confirmed it such as Washington Post but his one key ally Fox News has confirmed it is true and added further detail. Sorry guys.. this is a further story that is not a left wing conspiracy.

I suspect you made it up.

BTW Jeffrey Goldberg has a stellar reputation as a journalist. 

I seriously doubt he would squander his reputation to publish fake news.
