Politico reports:
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.” Jeffrey Goldberg serves as editor-in-chief of The Atlantic and the magazine has stood by its story.
Goldberg reported that Trump decided to not go to a ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018 because he was worried that rain would dishevel his hair. Multiple news outlets have confirmed certain details of the initial report.
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..

….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!

So just to be clear, in your defense that you didn’t call military heroes suckers and losers you are calling John Kelly disgruntled and the late John McCain a fraud? Got it.
