Trump Criticized by Nephew and John Kelly for Disparaging Remarks About U.S. Military

Donald Trump has come under fire for his alleged disparaging remarks about U.S. military service members. Trump's nephew, Fred Trump III, criticized the former president, stating that Trump 'doesn't give a sh*t about' soldiers. These comments echo previous reports from The Atlantic and confirmations by Trump's former Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, that Trump called fallen American service members 'suckers' and 'losers' and refused to visit their graves. Gold Star Families have also voiced their disapproval, emphasizing that valor and sacrifice are beyond Trump's understanding. Fox News also confirmed these reports, and Trump reportedly did not want to be seen with amputee veterans because 'it doesn’t look good for me.'
