We know that Donald Trump called our fallen military members "losers and suckers" for getting killed in action, just like we know that he told John McCain, "I like people who weren't captured." That's who Trump is, but that wasn't enough for his supporters to quit him. Instead, they turned on John McCain. Trump also refused to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 because "he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain."

Trump denied his 'losers and suckers' rant during his rally in Las Vegas. Trump's long-winded rant came out as if he had mixed up a Scrabble set, then threw the letters on the wall, and called it a speech.

"I mean, I watched him yesterday when Macron, Macron's a sharp guy. you know, he's for France, right?" the Stable Genius said. "He's for France. We're for this. And Biden doesn't even know where the hell he is."

"And especially in one particular instance, that was not good yesterday," he continued. "And I believe that happened. Okay. And he makes up stories. He said something about me that I stood over the graves of soldiers. nobody loves the military more than me. Nobody. Nobody respects it. And nobody's, nobody's treated it better. Nobody's done as much for the military as I have."

"But he said, I stood over graves of soldiers, and I said, these people are suckers and losers," he said. "I said, this was a made-up deal from a magazine that's failing financial disaster by a guy that is a horrible, radical left lunatic named Goldberg. They made up a story that I said this, and they put it out, and it's been going around for three years, and it's just like Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. 51 intelligence agents, that phony story. Remember, the laptop is from Russia. They said, and they should be prosecuted for what they did. OK."

Trump ranted about the Biden campaign using it in an ad, calling them "sick people." He somehow said that he hopes "the military revolts at the voting booth and just says, we're not going to take it. They can say anything. They're a party of misinformation, disinformation, cheating on elections, open borders, high interest rates, and high taxes. that's all."

And we're going to stop right there. Trump literally ran a fake news op with David Pecker to put out fabricated stories about Ted Cruz and others. He is a walking, talking disinformation campaign. It's always projection with him. I could add the rest of his pathetic rant, but just replay the first part because it's all the same.

And here's this bit of fact-checking on Trump's lies:
