The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has one more scandal to face before the presidential elections on November 3. Trump is facing a storm for his alleged derogatory comments against Americans killed in the war.
The allegations, obtained anonymously, describe multiple offensive remarks by the president toward fallen and captured American service members, including declaring World War I dead in an American military cemetery in France as “losers” and “fools” in 2018. .
The Atlantic carried a report on the president’s alleged comments, which was dismissed by the White House.
But there was a new twist in the story when a pro-Trump Fox News correspondent confirmed that Trump did indeed make those comments. Jennifer Griffins, a national security correspondent for Fox News, posted a lengthy thread on Twitter in which she said that the president had not wanted to honor the Americans killed in the war in the Aisne-Marne cemetery in France.
“This former official overheard the president say about American veterans: ‘What’s in it for them? They don’t make money. “Source:” It was a character flaw of the president. He couldn’t understand why someone would die for his country, it wasn’t worth it, “Griffins said in one of his tweets.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has declared President Donald Trump “unfit” for the presidency, reacting with passion to the Atlantic report.
“You know inside that Trump’s comments, if true, are deplorable. I have just never been so disappointed, in my entire career, with a leader that I have worked with, president or not, “said Biden. “If the article is true, and it appears to be, based on other things he has said, it is absolutely damning. It’s a shame, “he added in his remarks on Friday.
Biden said that “the President should humbly apologize to every Gold Star mother and father, to every Blue Star family that he has denigrated. … Who the hell does he think he is? “
Trump, meanwhile, said an apology was not necessary, because it was a “false story.”
