During the recent CNN Presidential Debate, President Joe Biden accused former President Donald Trump of calling fallen soldiers 'suckers' and 'losers.' Biden's remarks referenced statements reportedly made by Trump, which were confirmed by Trump's former Chief of Staff, General John Kelly. Trump denied the allegations, claiming they were fabricated by Biden and The Atlantic. The debate became heated as Biden defended his late son, Beau Biden, who served in the military, and reiterated that Trump disrespected veterans. Despite Trump's denials, multiple sources, including two former four-star generals, have confirmed that Trump made the derogatory comments about U.S. service members. Moderator Jake Tapper highlighted these confirmations during the debate.
