But according to

, a respected monthly in the United States, the New York billionaire simply did not see the point.

"Why should I go to this cemetery?"

It's filled with losers, ”he reportedly told members of his team, according to the magazine, which cites several anonymous sources.

Still according to

, Donald Trump would also have qualified the 1,541 American soldiers who died during the Battle of Belleau Wood as “morons”, before asking “who were the good guys” during this conflict.

The White House has vigorously denied.

“No one is brave enough to put their name on these accusations.

It is because they are false ”, declared one of the spokespersons of the executive, Judd Deere.

The White House denies en bloc

Hogan Gidley, a former White House spokesman who accompanied Donald Trump on his trip to France in 2018, also denounced “completely ridiculous” accusations and “shabby and cowardly” anonymous sources.

"Someone made up this horrible story saying I didn't want to go," the US president told reporters after returning from a campaign visit to Pennsylvania Thursday evening.

"If they really exist, if existing people could say that, they are unscrupulous scumbags and liars.

And I would be ready to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes ”, he stressed, before adding:“ No animal, nobody, what animal would have. could say such a thing? "

John McCain already in 2016

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump publicly attacked the highly respected Republican Senator John McCain's status as the hero of the Vietnam War, taken prisoner and tortured for more than five years.

“He's a hero because he's been captured.

I like people who are not captured, ”he said.
