It was confirmed by his chief of staff General John Kelley.

In 2020 Jeffery Goldberg reported in an article for The Atlantic that Trump disparaged killed soldiers when cancelling a trip toto the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, in France, in 2018.
The article read:
"In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
In 2023, General John Kelley confirmed the statements on the record to CNN's Jake Tapper, a debate moderator who did not challenge Trump on the denial. -

Literally everyone who was there denied it, even John Bolton, who hates Trump, denied it. Kelly had said Trump has disparaged veterans like McCain, and he had referred to veterans as feeling like suckers because of how the country had treated them, so you need to include context, but that fake story from the Atlantic about his saying he wouldn't visit the graves of fallen soldiers because they were suckers and losers is nonsense. Everyone who was there denied it.

I just looked it up. Bolton didn't hear it but he didn't say it didn't happen and he was accepting it was possible it happened. Trump's own chief of staff said it happened and it lines up with the other equally despicable remarks Trump made about soldiers so you'd have to be stupid to believe he didn't say it. Even you know he said the other things.

Nope, nobody there corroborate the story, they denied it, The Atlantic put out a fake story from an anonymous source and nobody there that day could confirm the story.

A senior Defense Department official with firsthand knowledge of events and a senior U.S. Marine Corps officer who was told about Trump’s comments confirmed some of the remarks to The Associated Press, including the 2018 cemetery comments.
The defense officials said Trump made the comments as he begged off visiting the cemetery outside Paris during a meeting following his presidential daily briefing on the morning of Nov. 10, 2018.
Staffers from the National Security Council and the Secret Service told Trump that rainy weather made helicopter travel to the cemetery risky, but they could drive there. Trump responded by saying he didn’t want to visit the cemetery because it was “filled with losers,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss it publicly.
The White House blamed the canceled visit on poor weather at the time.
In another conversation on the trip, The Atlantic said, Trump referred to the 1,800 Marines who died in the World War I battle of Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
The Defense officials also confirmed to The AP reporting in The Atlantic that Trump on Memorial Day 2017 had gone with his chief of staff, John Kelly, to visit the Arlington Cemetery gravesite of Kelly’s son, Robert, who was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan, and said to Kelly: “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
The senior Marine Corps officer and The Atlantic, citing sources with firsthand knowledge, also reported that Trump said he didn’t want to support the August 2018 funeral of Republican Sen. John McCain, a decorated Navy veteran who spent years as a Vietnam prisoner of war, because he was a “loser.” The Atlantic also reported that Trump was angered that flags were flown at half-staff for McCain, saying: “What the f—- are we doing that for? Guy was a f—-ing loser.”

This was already acknowledged. Those claims in the Atlantic of Trump calling those dead soldiers losers was from 2 anonymous sources. Thank you.
The Defense officials also confirmed to The AP reporting in The Atlantic that Trump on Memorial Day 2017 had gone with his chief of staff, John Kelly, to visit the Arlington Cemetery gravesite of Kelly’s son, Robert, who was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan, and said to Kelly: “I don’t get it.

So what? Trump has been very vocal for a long time about how much of a mistake it was going in Irag and Afghanistan and that we're getting soldiers killed for nothing.
The senior Marine Corps officer and The Atlantic, citing sources with firsthand knowledge, also reported that Trump said he didn’t want to support the August 2018 funeral of Republican Sen. John McCain, a decorated Navy veteran who spent years as a Vietnam prisoner of war, because he was a “loser.”
Trump and McCain had a long history of hating eachother, but Trump didn't go to the funeral because the family specifically requested he not go.

Anyone who votes Trump hates the troops!
Nothing wrong with that.
Fuck war and **** our military which is part of the problem.
Our military and soldiers is to be ashamed and there is no pride in it since they have murdered millions of innocent civilians and have set it up to wipe out the world with nukes.
