actually that came out in the guardian i mean would you believe and it strenuously denied by trump the atlantic magazine accusations that. the trump called dead us soldiers losers and somehow that works with the aura we were accusation in this new book saying that trump was influenced by a father who said you're either a winner or loser. anybody who spent any time with trump knows that that's the way he talks and that's the way he feels he disparages 2 almost everyone he thinks of them not just not just veterans and members of the armed forces but people of all stripes colors types are losers and suckers to him and interesting only they're losers and suckers he thinks in part because they take seriously what he says which at some fundamental level he knows is not sets it's a series of lies he's telling in order to aggrandize himself even at the expense of the very people who support him there is nobody that trump feels as more of a loser and a sucker than the members of his base these are people generally generally with much less power and influence who haven't done great materially in their li

trump's defense. no senior person from the white house at that time has come to donald trump's defense. so i believe "the atlantic" story is true. it's consistent with everything we know about donald trump. he doesn't understand the notion of military service and sacrifice, and he has contempt for people who put country ahead of their own personal physical well-being. >> governor, i'm not sure if you heard the statement from joe biden that i read earlier, but in it he says he's going to have our troops' back, right? he says, i'm going to have the back of our american heroes. what do you make of president trump's denial tonight? >> yeah. i mean how many times do we have to see this play out again, don? i mean how many outrageous things does this president have to say? how many times does he deny it even though it's on tape? the gaslighting that he continues to play out is -- you know, it's exhausting really. if i -- if i am part of a military family and i hear this, i just -- it's so utterly horrifying that the commander in chief so denigrates the people who give their lives in service. he can't even understand wh

losers and suckers, those are the words used by president trump to describe american soldiers. according to a new report in "the atlantic" that says president trump has repeatedly disparaged servicemembers. citing four unnamed people, the magazine reports that when trump canceled a visit to an american cemetery near paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision saying the helicopter couldn't fly and the secret service wouldn't 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. in a meeting, he said, why should i go to that cemetery? it's filled with losers. in a second conversation on the same trip, trump referred to more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at bella wood as suckers for getting killed. he has a continued fixation on the late john mccain, one who accused him after he won the nomination. trump expressed his contempt for mccain being called a war hero in 2018. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like a war hero who wasn't

supporting the story is pretty obvious, clear and almost overwhelming to anyone not inside the trump reality. the atlantic's jeffrey gold ber reported that trump canceled a visit in paris in 2018 partially because he worried his hair would become disheveled in the rain and partially because he did not respect the american war dead there. in a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of scheduled visit, trump said, why should i go to that cemetery? it's filled with losers. in is separate conversation, trump referred to the 1800 marines as suckers for getting killed. now, the sources in this story are anonymous which, you know, anonymous sources are not as good as named sources when you are evaluating something, but it doesn't mean the claims came on a tip line that no one knows where they came from. it means the reporter spoke to the people directly, interviewed them and has agreed not to identify them in the story. jeffrey goldberg will be here to talk about that in just a moment. the story has been confirmed in part or its entirety by reporters at numerous other media outlets. fox news include

trump was supposed to attend a ceremony at a military ceremony cemetery alongside the for. german presidents but instead trump stayed in his hotel room now trump has denied these allegations that were 1st made in the atlantic they have now been partially corroborated by other networks including c.n.n. a.p. and most interesting we fox which usually is quite supportive of the president and in response to that trump is called for the fox news reporter to be fired well you know joel whether this story is true or not whether or trump actually made those statements just the report of it itself has angered many veterans and not surprising of course democratic presidential nominee joe biden has also jumped on the story he had this to say let's have a listen president trump has demonstrated he has no sense of service no moral to any cost other that himself $5.00 the honor to be. the next commander in chief i will ensure that our american heroes. know all have their backs honor their sacrifice and those who've been injured will be in military parades. joe what is biden talking about when he's referring to these military parades for him to further comments in this atlantic article in which trump is alleged to have sa

here's bart gelman reporting today in "the atlantic," quote, the worst case is not that trump rejects the election outcome. the worst case is that he uses his power to prevent a decisive outcome against him. if trump sheds all restraint and if his republican allies plays the parts he assigns them, he could obstruct the emergence of an a legally unambiguous victory for biden. he could prevent the formation of consensus about whether there is any outcome at all. he could seize on that uncertainty to hold onto power. december 8th is known as the safe harbor deadline for appointing the 538 men and women who make up the electoral college. where he accustom to choosing electors by popular vote. each state shall appoint electors in such manner as the ledge layture thereof may direct. every state has seated the decision of who the electors are to its voters. even so the supreme court afirm firmed in "bush v gore" they can take back the power to elect electors. how and when a stay may do so have not been tested for well over a century. quote, trump may test this. the trump campaign is discussi
