The Atlantic reported that Trump stated, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”

During a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump allegedly referred to the over 1,800 marines who perished at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for being killed.

Spectrum News highlighted that Sarah Sanders denied the allegations, stating, “​​Sarah Sanders Denies Report That Trump Called Military Members ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’.”

Politico cited Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's defense on Fox News, where he stated, “I’ve never heard the president use the language that assertedly is said in that article, about him calling military suckers and losers.”
