The “Atlantic” garbage piece which claims that a couple of years ago during a trip to France, President Trump declined to go to an American military cemetery because it was filled with “losers and suckers.”
Give me a break. This is the stupidest, most unbelievable “hit piece” I’ve ever seen. Never mind that there are emails that prove the trip was canceled due to weather and security issues.
I worked in PR and I have seen a lot of crazy stuff and this is totally absurd. If Dems really wanted to try and make this stick they should have gone with something way less bombastic than “losers and suckers.” It’s way too “Disney villain-ish” and totally unbelievable. First. off, it’s a massive stretch to think that Trump would say something so wildly inappropriate around a slew of people, given all the leaks he’s had to deal with, and secondly, it’s flat-out nuts to think that nobody would have mentioned this before a couple days ago.
It’s just a mess, top to bottom.
And it just got a whole lot messier for Dems and media.

Now, General Kelly’s top aide – who is NO FAN of President Trump, just went on record and denied the story.
He went so far as to ask if anyone honestly thinks General Kelly would have kept quiet if Trump said that about the military?
Of course not – nobody would have stayed quiet. It’s asinine to even suggest that in the era of “Orange Man Bad” for crying out loud.
President Trump’s son Don Jr. shared this tweet: “Breitbart: Zach Fuentes, Top Aide to John Kelly, Denies Atlantic Story About Trump “I did not hear POTUS call anyone losers when I told him about the weather. Honestly, do you think Gen. Kelly would have stood by & let ANYONE call fallen Marines losers?”

Now that Zach Fuentes has chimed in the “media panic” is starting.
How Maggie, how many people could you call *right now* who have a combat scroll?
Or an enlisted man with a CIB?
Do you even know what these terms mean?
If not, probably you're not one to judge sentiment of "the troops." https://t.co/ExgHOfwULR

#NeverTrump Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, who has been pushing this nonsense story and claiming she “corroborated” the story, when she didn’t, is now trying to save face.
Here she is now, talking about the big bombshell of General Kelly’s aide coming. out and denying this silly story, by trying to point out the time that Trump called the generals “dopes and babies” in a meeting.

Good. There’s NOTHING wrong with the big boss hammering the bosses. It should happen more often, actually.

And just as I was finishing this piece, here, the Ambassador to France denies the story.
The Atlantic's house of cards is quickly crumbling @JeffreyGoldberg
"Ambassador McCourt was there the day Trump’s team called off the trip to the cemetery at Belleau Wood because of inclement weather."

These people are still playing by the same failed 2016 playbook. We’ve already read it and we know all the plays and all tricks and nobody is buying this nonsense anymore.
And all the media is doing by. seriously trying to spread this silly garbage is committing career suicide and destroy their entire industry.
