The Atlantic:
President Trump has said Americans who died serving their country are “losers” and “suckers.” Editor-in-Chief Goldberg says Trump has also asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades - because "Nobody wants to see" amputees or other wounded veterans

Remember that trip to Paris in 2018 when Trump was scheduled to visit a cemetery filled with U.S. dead from World War I? Trump said he couldn't go because of rain. Actually, Goldberg reports that Trump asked: "Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers."

In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 U.S. Marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood (a major World War I battle) as ‘suckers’ for getting killed.”

When McCain died in 2018, Trump said "We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral," and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. ‘What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser"

Trump also - "On at least two occasions since becoming president, according to three sources with direct knowledge of his views," referred to former Pres. George H. W. Bush as a ‘loser’ for being shot down by the Japanese as a Navy pilot in World War II.”
