Analysis: The Atlantic's report that the president callously dismissed dead American soldiers stands to reinforce his past disregard for sacrifice.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump moved swiftly in the last few hours to counter The Atlantic's report that he referred to dead American soldiers as "losers" and"suckers" because it has the power to damage his re-election campaign.
It's believable because Trump has called so many of his fellow Americans, including military veterans, suckers, losers and the like. The story challenges Trump's political narrative that he is a winning deal-maker who is so infuriated by the sacrifices Americans have been forced to make — in misbegotten wars and bad trade deals — that he gave up his own comfortable lifestyle to stand in and fight on their behalf.
Story continuesRep. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat and Harvard graduate who served in a Marine infantry battalion during the Iraq war, said Trump simply doesn't get the concept of sacrifice for the greater good. "I was once told that the only way I would be reunited with my family would be as a corpse,” Alice Johnson, whose drug trafficking sentence was commuted by Trump in 2018, said at the GOP convention."But through the grace of God and the love and compassion of President Donald John Trump, I stand before you tonight and I assure you, I am not a ghost. I am alive, I am whole and most importantly, I am free."Both parties clearly believe his compassion is on the ballot.
