“I went to the World War II cemetery — World War I cemetery he refused to go to. He was standing with his four-star general, and he told me he said, ‘I don’t want to go in there because they’re a bunch of losers and suckers.’”
The quotes “losers” and “suckers” originate from an article published in The Atlantic in 2020 about former President Donald J. Trump’s relationship to the military. He continues to dispute the reports.
The article relied on anonymous sources, but many of the accounts have been corroborated by news outlets, including The New York Times, and by John F. Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general who was Mr. Trump’s White House chief of staff. Mr. Trump has emphatically denied making the remarks since the Atlantic article was published.
Here is a breakdown of the quotations.
