Bone Spurs thinks Americans who die in wars are "suckers"

... There are numerous examples of Trumps assholery .. but the most recent .. is this, courtesy of The Atlantic:
When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that the helicopter couldnt fly and that the Secret Service wouldnt drive him there. Neither claim was true.
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, Why should I go to that cemetery? Its filled with losers. In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as suckers for getting killed.
Trump, of course, is a draft dodger who got out of the war by getting a doctor to say he had bone spurswhich that doctors daughters now say was a made-up diagnosis. He also denigrated a Gold Star family during the 2016 election and famously proclaimed out loud, in public, that Senator John McCain wasnt really a war hero because he was captured and spent five and half years in a North Vietnamese prison where he was routinely tortured. I like people who werent captured, Trump said in 2015, as only a despicable human being who knows deep down inside no one likes him and is terrified theyre going to find out thats not his real hair color ...
