The article assures that Trump called the veterans "losers" and "failures" in 2018 and that he did not understand what the citizens of his country gained by going to fight abroad, something that has been denied by the president.
According to The Atlantic, Trump's alleged insults came during his visit to Paris in November 2018 to participate in the centennial of the World War I armistice, where more than 116,000 U.S. military personnel died.
