A bombshell story has revealed shocking comments US President Donald Trump allegedly made about dead American soldiers in private.
“This report is false. President Trump holds the military in the highest regard,” spokeswoman Alyssa Farah told“He’s demonstrated his commitment to them at every turn, delivering on his promise to give our troops a much-needed pay raise, increasing military spending, signing critical veterans reforms and supporting military spouses.White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany responded to Goldberg’s story on Twitter, labelling it “garbage”.
“Trump can’t imagine anyone else’s pain. That’s why he would say this to the father of a fallen marine on Memorial Day.”Source:AFPIn 2018, as the White House planned a military parade, Mr Trump reportedly asked his staff not to include wounded veterans, saying viewers would not want to look at amputees.Goldberg cites three sources who claim Mr Trump twice referred to former president and navy pilot George H.W.
“He’s not a war hero. He’s a hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured,” Mr Trump said at the time.He spent the next five years in a prisoner-of-war camp, where he was repeatedly tortured. Mr McCain, whose father was an admiral, refused to accept a deal that would have seen him released before his fellow prisoners.
According to Goldberg’s sources, Mr Trump erupted in the aftermath of Mr McCain’s death, when he found out America’s flags had been lowered to half-mast in honour of the late senator.The President also said the administration was “not going to support that loser’s funeral”. A few hours after the story was published, and after the White House’s official response, Mr Trump himself jumped on Twitter to deny having made those comments, saying he would swear to it “on whatever or whoever I was asked to swear on”.
