“Trump, ‘the American soldier is a loser’ … canceled a visit for fear of ruining his head”

It was alleged that US President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the US military cemetery in France two years ago because “his hairstyle could be damaged on a rainy day.”

The White House said, “It was an unavoidable decision in bad weather,” regarding the cancellation of the schedule at the time, but the reality is that President Trump’s usual view of disdain for veterans influenced him. President Trump immediately rebutted the news as “fake news trying to affect the election results.”

On the 3rd (local time), the American news magazine The Atlantic announced that President Trump’s planned visit to the American military cemetery in Aisne-Marne during his visit to France in November 2018 was “in case his head gets dirty. under the rain”. It is claimed that it has been canceled. He cites four anonymous sources who were well aware of the local situation at the time. They told Atlantic: “It was possible to cancel the program because President Trump did not consider it important to honor American soldiers.”

Atlantic also cited these sources, when President Trump went one step further and identified the US troops buried in the cemetery as ‘suckers who were killed’, and on the day of the visit they told staff: “Why am I full of losers? ” Should I go to that cemetery where it is? ”, Reported.

The N-Marne American Military Cemetery is home to 1,800 American Marines who died in the Battle of Belleau Wood in 1918 at the height of the First World War.

Atlantic claimed that President Trump even revealed a distorted view of history on his trip to France. “Who are the good people in that war (World War I)? “I cannot understand why the United States intervened in the Allied Forces,” he said, confessing to the staff.

The content of this report is contrary to the description of the White House in the past. The White House announced at the time that “we had to cancel it because it was difficult to implement the schedule due to the weather.” It means that the helicopter could not be launched because it rained a lot to ensure visibility.

Yet even at this moment, the atmosphere of questioning the White House explanation was considerable. The Washington Post said, “The reason for President Trump’s absence is unclear,” citing the fact that leaders of other countries have assimilated the calendar as scheduled.

Winston Churchill’s grandson and British lawmaker, Nicholas Soms, wrote on Twitter that “the veterans fought face to face with the enemy, but the pathetic and incompetent Trump couldn’t stand the weather.” Ben Rose, who served as deputy national security adviser in the Obama administration, also tweeted: “There was always an option for rain during presidential hours.”

Atlantic withdrew all of his past and claimed that President Trump deeply despised veterans. President Trump sparked controversy in 2015 as a presidential candidate, saying: “Senator John McCain, who was a naval pilot, was taken prisoner in the Vietnam War by shooting down a plane and became a war hero.” “People like those who were not caught.” .

During Congressman McCain’s funeral in September 2018, the oldest daughter Ivanka and his wife attended and enjoyed playing golf in Virginia as usual on the weekend.

The media claimed that President Trump had spoken with his top aides during the funeral of Congressman McCain. “He was a fucking loser and he doesn’t support that loser’s funeral. “I don’t know what this is for,” President Trump said.

Atlantic interpreted President Trump’s perception as the result of a materials-centric worldview that had no financial rewards, did not understand life options, and transactions. Psychologically, the anxiety about dying or harming the body was interpreted to be so intense that even those who suffered such harm were upset.

At the same time, the media ran a subsequent story that President Trump asked his staff to avoid the appearance of an injured veteran who had been amputated at a veterans event because “the audience may feel uncomfortable.”

When the report was released, President Trump strongly objected. On the way back from the Pennsylvania campaign, President Trump, who found the information, stood in front of reporters for seven minutes and refuted the report in detail.

He said: “I considered going by car from France (to go to the US N-Dry military cemetery), but I had to go for more than two hours, so there was a difficulty in security, so everyone was against, “he said.

Additionally, regarding his demeaning comments reported by Atlantic, he said: “I thought he was different from McCain, but I still respect him.” “I swear I never said that to warriors. What beast would say that? “I ask.

President Trump described Atlantic as “Never Trumper magazine” and said: “It is about to influence the presidential election.” “These fake media are very shameful.”
