President Trump on Saturday lashed out at the journalist behind this week's explosive report that claimed he had disparaged slain American soldiers buried in France, calling the reporter a "slimeball."

Trump suggested in a pair of tweets that the author of the report, The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, may have been working with "disgruntled people" intent on seeing him lose reelection. He compared the magazine story to the controversial dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele in 2016, which alleged that Russia had compromising material on Trump.

“You work so hard for the military, from completely rebuilding a depleted mess that was left by OBiden, to fixing a broken V.A. and fighting for large scale military pay raises, and then a slimeball reporter, maybe working with disgruntled people, makes up such a horrible charge,” Trump tweeted without mentioning Goldberg by name.

“This reminds me of the Dirty Dossier, which was pushed hard by John McCain, & then with a thud turned out to be a total fraud. So many other scams also. The Radical Far Left is VICIOUS, they will do or say anything to win. But they won’t, we will WIN, & have four great years!” Trump added.

10. Ted Roosevelt V is descended from President Teddy Roosevelt,

Ted Roosevelt V is descended from President Teddy Roosevelt, and from World War II hero Teddy Roosevelt Jr. He posted this on Twitter


“My great grandfather Theodore Roosevelt jr (and his brother) are buried in Normandy. Even as sons of a president, born into privilege, they understood they had an equal obligation to serve this great nation. There is a “loser” here, but it is not anyone buried in Normandy.”

We’re seeing people step up from all corners (except, notably, the Republican House and Senate) to condemn Donald Trump for calling U.S. military troops “losers” and “suckers.” Some truly fascinating characters are coming out of the woodwork to pile on. That includes someone with a very famous name, whose family knows plenty about service.
