Former UN Ambassador John Bolton set himself up as Trump’s enemy this year, but even his anti-Trump book debunks the lies that Trump hates our fallen soldiers put out by The Atlantic.

On Thursday evening, The Atlantic, a partisan, left-wing rag, floated the “anonymous” claims of sources who said that two years ago Donald Trump called our soldiers fallen in battle nothing but a bunch of “suckers” and “losers.”

First of all, we know this clam is a lie because the magazine says it happened two years ago. And in the climate of “Trump gotchas,” the chances of something this big staying a secret for two years is zero.

If it were true, some Trump hater in the deep state would have leaked these “anonymous” sources long ago to “get” Trump. So, we know this story is crap on that fact alone.

But we don’t need supposition because a Trump hater has already reported the very incident that The Atlantic was pushing on Thursday, and his report has no hint of Trump saying soldiers killed in battle are “losers.”

In his anti-Trump book that came out in June, John bolton had written about the very incident that The Atlantic tried to turn into a Trump attack this week.

One claim by the magazine is that Trump did not want to visit the WWII Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in May of 2018 because he had no interest in memorializing the “losers” and “suckers” who would get captured or die in battle.

The Aisne-Marne cemetery holds the last resting place of nearly 2,300 American soldiers, including hundreds of U.S. Marines that died in the World War One Battle of Belleau Wood on June 1918.

The Atlantic bases its calumny on claims from four anonymous federal officials.

But in his book, Bolton has a far different story about what happened that day in 2018.

On Saturday, I went to the U.S. Ambassador’s residence, where Trump was staying, to brief him for his bilateral with [French President Emmanuel Macron]. The weather was bad and [former Chief of Staff John Kelly] and I spoke about whether to travel as planned to the Chateau-Thierry Belleau Woods monuments and nearby American Cemeteries, where many U.S. World War I were buried. Marine One’s crew were saying that bad visibility could make it imprudent to chopper to the cemetery. The ceiling was not too low for Marines to fly in combat, but flying POTUS was obviously something very different. If a motorcade were necessary, it could take between ninety and a hundred and twenty minutes each way, along roads that were not exactly freeways, posing an unacceptable risk that we could not get the President out of France quickly enough in case of an emergency. It was a straightforward decision to cancel the visit but very hard for a Marine like Kelly to recommend, having originally been the one to suggest Belleau Wood (an iconic battle in Marine Corps history). Trump agreed, and it was decided that others would drive to the cemetery instead. The press turned canceling the military 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 President of the United States, but the press didn’t understand that rules for US presidents are different from the rules for 190 other leaders who don’t command the world’s greatest military forces.

Bolton was there for this whole event. And he was part of Trump’s inner circle at the time.

If Trump was going around calling our fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers,” Bolton would surely have said so in a book where every other page is an attack on the President.

There is another eyewitness to the events on the day in question and she also calls The Atlantic’s fake news story a pack of lies.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was Trump’s press secretary at the time, also said she never heard any such words come out of Trump’s mouth that day. She was also there.

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. — Sarah Huckabee Sanders (@SarahHuckabee) September 4, 2020

This BS story from The Atlantic is nothing more than a lie thrown at the wall just ahead of the election in hopes that it will hurt the president on Election Day.
