Trump Desperately Tries To Spin His 'Suckers And Losers' Comments
During his rally in Philadelphia Saturday evening, Trump dissed his former Chief of Staff General John Kelly by claiming his "sucker and losers" comments about soldiers who died in war was a lie. He must be worried about the erosion of support from veterans.
In September of 2020, Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic wrote an article describing Trump's refusal to go to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 to honor those who perished during war. Worried about how his hair would look, he said. “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers." Later he called those that died in battle "suckers."
Trump even has a hard time making sense of what happened and speaking coherently.
TRUMP: But they made up a "suckers and losers" statement so terrible. And my stupid people, when I wanted to refute it they said, "sir don't dignify it with a refutal refutal or a refutal what the hell word would that be refunneled, what they'll say,"he didn't know refunnel or refutal but they don't know either.
Refuted, you fucking idiot. Or rebuttal, which also escaped his hair brain. His audience of lemmings laughed.
