Claims Trump called dead soldiers 'suckers'
  • 4 years ago
US President Donald Trump's Presidency has been marked by scandal after scandal. But the latest exposé strikes at the heart of American pride. The respected Atlantic Magazine says he has repeatedly made disparaging remarks about military servicemen. It says while cancelling his trip to the American Cemetery in France in 2018, Trump called the dead soldiers 'losers' and 'suckers'. The memorial pays tribute to the over 1,800 marines who died at Belleau Wood. Trump, as usual, is calling the story 'fake news'. Professor John Stremlau visiting professor of International Relations at Wits University discusses this further.
