As I’m sure you’re well aware by now, (unless you’ve been living under a rock, in which case, get out from under there, the world is on fire!) Donald Trump was recently busted out in a bad kind of way regarding his true thoughts and feelings on this nation’s military service members after The Atlantic dropped a bombshell report, alleging that Trump had referred to fallen US servicemen and women as “losers” and “suckers” and heavily disparaged the late Senator John McCain upon his death, after speaking with several reliable sources on the matter.
And since then, things have only gotten worse for The Donald.
As the nation continues to reel from the Atlantic allegations, that have since been corroborated by multiple reputable outlets including Trump’s own beloved Fox News, an old video has resurfaced and begun to spread like wildfire across social media, showing Trump referring to Pentagon officials as “losers,” “dopes,” and “babies” — very similar to the verbiage he was accused of using against the late John McCain as well as fallen service members resting in the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery.
During a November 5th, 2016 speech in Tampa, FL, Trump launched into a rant claiming that ISIS would have been caught off guard by an attack had they not been tipped off by US military leaders.

“Whatever happened to the element of surprise? The element of surprise?” Trump questioned before declaring, “What a group of losers we have. And now it’s a very tough battle.”
In an earlier speech, in October of the same year, Trump launched into a similar yet slightly less pointed tirade when he declared, “We have a bunch of babies running our country, folks. We have a bunch of losers. They’re losers, they’re babies.”
At the time, Barack Obama was still president of the United States, and Trump immediately veered into an attack against the then-POTUS and First Lady. However, the context of the speech led people to believe that it was a dual attack against the current administration as well as this nation’s military and political leadership under Obama.
Folks, it just doesn’t get much more clear than this, does it? The guy that claims to be the biggest supporter of the nation’s military is only their biggest supporter when they’re firing rubber bullets and tear gas into crowds of protesters at his command. Aside from that, they’re just a bunch of “losers” to this draft-dodger-in-chief.
