trump: Soldiers that are killed in war are “suckers”.

But they haven’t, they’ve used the office of the presidency to make deals and paid their pockets. Trade marks in China, approval for buildings in Turkey...it goes on & on

Six other officials in the Trump administration went on record (unlike those who made the allegations against Trump) and directly disputed their account of what happened. Four who were with the president that day. They did it despite death threats or cancel culture. I have more respect for those that stand up with their account since doing so is more credible than hiding. Hiding behind anonymity tells me you don't have enough faith in your "allegations" to be a stand up honest witness. 


Jordan Karem "This is not even close to being factually accurate. Plain and simple, it just never happened."
"Again, this is 100% false. I was next to @potus the whole day! The President was greatly disappointed when told we couldn’t fly there. He was incredibly eager to honor our Fallen Heroes."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders  "The Atlantic story on @realdonaldtrump is total BS. I was actually there and one of the people part of the discussion – this never happened. I have sat in the room when our President called family members after their sons were killed in action and it was heart-wrenching… These were some of the moments I witnessed the President show his heart and demonstrate how much he respects the selfless and courageous men and women of our military. I am disgusted by this false attack.

Hogan Gidley "These are disgusting, grotesque, reprehensible lies. I was there in Paris and the President never said those things. In fact, he would never even think such vile thoughts because I know from firsthand knowledge that President Trump absolutely loves, respects, and reveres the brave men and women of the United States military. He always has and always will. These weak, pathetic, cowardly background ‘sources’ do not have the courage or decency to put their names to these false accusations because they know how completely ludicrous they are. It’s sickening that they would hide in the shadows to knowingly try and hurt the morale of our great military simply for an attack on a political opponent."

Dan Scavino "I was with POTUS in France, with Sarah, and have been at his side throughout it all. Complete lies by ‘anonymous sources’ that were ‘dropped’ just as he begins to campaign (and surge). A disgraceful attempt to smear POTUS, 60 days before the Presidential Election! Disgusting!!"

Steven Miller "The president deeply wanted to attend the memorial event in question and was deeply displeased by the bad weather call.The next day, he spoke at Suresnes American Cemetery in the pouring rain and refused an umbrella. No one has a bigger, more loving, or more loyal heart for American veterans and fallen heroes than our president." 

That one debunks the accusation that he was worried about his hair. Also, FOIA documents back up the call to not LET him travel due to the weather.

Lt. General Keith Kellogg "The Atlantic story is completely false. Absolutely lacks merit. I’ve been by the President’s side. He has always shown the highest respect to our active duty troops and veterans with utmost respect paid to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice and those wounded in battle."

FTR, sources who did not hear the comments aren't comparable to those who did. Your sources are not what I would consider credible witnesses either. I mean, if you have to go to Miller as a reliable witness, that pretty much says it all.  45 has made it clear in so many ways and in so many interactions that he simply does not have any respect for the military.
I am not interested in trying to convince you. I am simply stating your case lacks credibility based on the sources quoted.

Sources who weren't there can still vouch for Trump on the probability that he did not say that based on what they have seen him do and say. Those accounts back up the sources who were there that say it didn't happen. Sources who hide like cowards in the shadows aren't comparable to those who stand up in the light and say who they are when they share what they witnessed.

There are many actions and interactions that show Trump does care for the military.
That's okay, we don't have to convince each other. It's enough that we can show facts that we're aware of without a huge battle. Thank you.

if the weather was soooo bad why didn't the event get cancelled?

It wasn't bad enough to cancel the event, but too bad to fly the president in. Driving wasn't an option because they had planned to fly and didn't have anything in place with local authorities soon enough for an extraction protocol to work. And you always have to have that with any president.

The secret service ALWAYS has alternate routes and modes of transportation, ALWAYS! 

ALL the other leaders were able to make it, as well as Pence, did they walk?

But that still doesn't explain why every other world leader except Trump made it that day. Weren't the conditions the same for them all? Or did I miss something and others didn't make it either?

Not a hill I want to die on, just presenting other facts. 

"The press turned canceling the cemetery visit into a story that Trump was afraid of the rain and took glee in pointing out that other world leaders traveled around during the day. Of course, none of them were the President of the United States, but the press didn't understand that rules for US Presidents are different from rules for 190 other leaders who don't command the world's greatest military forces."
