Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Insulting Dead Troops
The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’ - The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
In fairness to Trump (there's a sentence I never thought I'd write...)
"“He said I stood over graves of soldiers and I said: ‘These people are suckers and losers,"
That's technically correct. He did not say those things in public.
Edit I watched the ad, it does not specify that Trump said these things in public, just that he said them which is true.
He said them privately to staff members.
Confirmed by Trump's former Chief of Staff, John Kelly:
But my favorite quote out of all this is the one that barely gets mentioned:

Trump saying at a 2017 Memorial Day event in Arlington National Cemetery: "I don't get it. What was in it for them?"
Trump is ENTIRELY transactional. The idea that good men would fight a war for their country purely because it's the right thing to do escapes him entirely.
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, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

If it is getting under Trumps skin I’d double down and release more of them. Fuck him.
Veteran here. Donald Trump fucking hates 'the troops'. The number of active duty and prior service who still (or ever) support that anti-American shit stain blows my mind.
Here's some light reading - this list is WAY outdated at this point, so feel free to contribute some more links in the comments. These are examples of things he's done specifically to attack the US military / veterans:
He can demand all he wants, but... he fucking said it.
Follow up ad:
Trump: "only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements."
Trump: *insults dead troops
Trump: "only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements."
Trump: *insults POWs
Trump: "only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements."
Repeat ad nauseum for every stupid arms services quote (or any other quote) the dumb idiot has said.
"Trump demands"... LOL
How dare you use my own words against me?
I didn't expect agreeing with a trump statement in my life, talking about the last part of course
I demand trump shove a hamberder and covfefe up his asshole (the one near his mushroom, not the one under his nose).
Sounds like a good life lesson about not saying things you don't want others to hear.
"Who put up all these mirrors up? Are you calling me ugly?!?!"
There's no way this could blow up in his face. I mean, drawing attention to an ad that quotes something he directly said... No possible way this would have the opposite effect. Genius level thinking going on here.
How are you gonna pay for that lawyer felon.
In case anyone’s curious, here’s the actual ad. Sorry it’s on Twitter.
Get fucked you pedophile rapist piece of shit!
Any "demands" from donnie should be considered null and void.
lol.. LMAO
- Biden campaign
He is smart enough to understand what he said was bad but dumb enough to not realize that applies to himself.
You can’t gaslight everyone whenever your own words get used against you. Eventually you make your own life seem like a hoax.
"drop out and stop being a candidate and i will" - president biden
Fump is not in a position to demand anything
Generally speaking I hate the troops but in WWI most of them were conscripted and didn't have much choice about being thrown into the meat grinder. Trump has the same kind of callous disregard for them as the people who sent them out to die.
