Trump furiously denies report he disparaged military service, insulted dead and disabled troops – POLITICO

Trump lambasted the article s claims that characterized the president as cynical about military service, saying “they made it up.”

“If they really exist, if people really exist that would have said that, they re low lifes and they re liars, Trump said about the anonymous sources quoted in article. And I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes. There is nobody that respects them more.

The Atlantic said it stands by its reporting.

Former and current Trump officials were quick to come to the president s defense with their own recollections of events.

The Atlantic story on @realDonaldTrump is total BS, Sarah Sanders said in a tweet. The former White House press secretary said she was one of the people part of the discussion on Trump s canceled visit to Aisne-Marne and that Trump s comments on the war dead never happened.”

Trump campaign national press secretary Hogan Gidley also pushed back on the reporting, calling the allegations disgusting, grotesque, reprehensible lies.

But why would the Atlantic lie? Don’t they know it’s a sin to lie? Have they ever lied before? They’re putting their credibility on the line, you know.
