A visit to a US military cemetery is actually planned on a trip to France by US President Trump two years ago. But the weather does not play along, Trump cancels the appointment. He is also said to have vilified the more than 1,800 dead soldiers. According to Trump, this is all a nasty lie. US President Donald Trump has rejected a media report alleging that he had called fallen US soldiers „losers“ and „idiots“. “I never called our great fallen soldiers anything but heroes,” Trump tweeted. The report in The Atlantic magazine called Trump „a shameful attempt to influence the 2020 election“. On the sidelines of an election rally in Pennsylvania, Trump said to journalists: „Someone is making up this terrible story that I didn’t want to go (to the cemetery).“ People who make these claims are „scum and liars,“ Trump said. He was ready to „swear that I never said anything like that about our fallen heroes“.

The article by „The Atlantic“ said that Trump had spontaneously refused a planned visit to the US military cemetery in Aisne-Marne near Paris during a trip to France in 2018. The US President said to his staff: „Why should I visit this cemetery? It is filled with losers.“ The article written by „Atlantic“ editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg says that Trump rejected the planned visit primarily because he feared that his hairstyle could be „disheveled“ in the rain. The US delegation had officially declared at the time that Trump could not visit the cemetery because his helicopter was not ready to take off due to the weather. In another conversation on the same trip, Trump described the more than 1,800 US soldiers buried in the Aisne-Marne cemetery as „idiots,“ the report continues. Accordingly, there are four witnesses for the statements.

Trump revealed historical gaps in knowledge

Critics, however, pointed to the denigration of Trump by the late Republican Senator John McCain. During the 2016 election campaign, Trump said of one of his biggest internal party critics, captured during the Vietnam War, that McCain was „not a hero“ and that „I like people who have not been caught.“ According to the „Atlantic“ report, Trump is said to have revealed historical gaps in knowledge during the 2018 trip to France. So he asked his co-workers: „Who were the good guys in this war?“ The President did not understand that the US was sending soldiers to Europe to support the Allied French.

Trump’s November 3rd Democratic challenger Joe Biden said that if the allegations in the „Atlantic“ article were true, they were „another sign of the disagreement between President Trump and I over the role of President United States are „. Should he win the presidential election, he will „make sure our American heroes know that I stand behind them and will honor their sacrifice – always,“ added Biden.
