Donald Trump’s Controversial Remarks in Las Vegas
In a recent event in Las Vegas, former President Donald Trump tried to refute confirmed reports that he called fallen troops “suckers and losers.” Despite the evidence, Trump vehemently denied the allegations, claiming they were fabricated by a failing magazine.
Trump’s Defense
During his speech, Trump stated, “I stood over graves of soldiers and I said, these people are suckers and losers, think dead soldiers from World War One.” He went on to criticize the media for spreading what he called “phony stories” similar to the Russia investigation.
Response from Former Chief of Staff
Former Trump White House Chief of Staff John Kelly later confirmed the reports, expressing his disappointment in Trump’s disrespectful remarks towards military personnel. Kelly’s statement shed light on Trump’s history of controversial behavior towards the armed forces.
Trump’s Attempt to Rewrite History
Despite the evidence against him, Trump continues to deny the allegations, blaming Democrats for the negative publicity. This recent outburst came after President Biden’s successful D-Day anniversary trip, where Biden honored fallen soldiers in France.
Damage Control
Observers noted that Trump’s audience appeared disengaged during his speech, signaling a lack of support for his attempts to downplay the controversy. Trump’s refusal to acknowledge his past actions reflects a concerning pattern of behavior.
Trump comes unglued as he claims that he never called the troops suckers and losers, “I look at them and I say these people are suckers and losers. Now, think of it. Unless you are a psycho or a crazy person or a very stupid person, who would say that anyway.” pic.twitter.com/Lgdgkg5ZSl
