On Thursday, President Trump denied a report in The Atlantic that he denigrated U.S. service members.

A left-leaning article by The Boston Globe highlights that Trump called World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France as “losers” and “suckers.” Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth lambasted Trump for “belittling the sacrifices of those who have shown more bravery than he’s capable of.”
A centrist article by The Hill reports that The Atlantic reported Thursday that Trump canceled a trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris, France, because he worried his hair would be disheveled by rain, and asked senior staff, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” The Atlantic also reported that Trump told his senior staff that he wouldn’t support the funeral of Senator John McCain, who he also called a “loser.”
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Biden remarked that, "If what is written in the Atlantic is true, it’s disgusting and it affirms what most of us believe to be true – that Donald Trump is not fit to do the job of president, be the commander-in-chief." Vice President Mike Pence called the report “absurd” and stressed that he has “never known anyone in public life who respects the men and women who serve in armed forces or veterans more than President Trump.”
