I never heard audio directly from his mouth saying this. They have audio of him singing god bless america and him helping with the funeral ritual but nothing supporting the claims😂😂😂

[cobratai]

Hundreds of Video Cameras all around Trump at the time and there is not one Video or Audio of Trump saying this.

I am a proud U.S. Navy veteran, served from 1963 to 1967, during the Vietnam War era.
The following incident happened at least twenty years ago on Veterans Day, which would have made me around sixty years old at the time.
I was exiting a Hess gas station in upstate NY, while holding the door open for an elderly woman, and maybe because it was Veterans Day, she asked me if I was a veteran.
I nodded, and she replied with “Thank you for your service”
My response was “Well, I didn't do much, I'm not combat veteran” and she came back with “That doesn't matter”.
To me, it did matter, most of my fours years was on the USS Wright (CC-2), a ship whose home port was in peaceful and safe Norfolk, Virginia.
While halfway around the world thousands of my military brothers were putting their lives on the line.
Here is the sad reality; over 58, 000 of our American heroes were killed, in addition there were 766 POWs, and 114 of them never made it home, for they died while in VC prisoner of war camps.
Shame on us if we ever forget to honor those brave American souls.
Two Footnotes:
1. The price of gas at the fore mentioned Hess station was $2.30 per gallon.
2. July 18th, 2015: DT “John McCain is only a hero because he got captured, I like people who didn't get captured”. SOB

All this attention is feeding Trump's narcissistic personality.

I'm deeply saddened to see what our country has come to. All the hard work of our forefathers along with the bloodshed of many patriotic Americans and our Allies, please God save us during these times of uncertainty and divide.

Conald doesn't deserve the honor of being in the presence of these injured warriors.

The LOCK EM UP guy! Is getting TRIALS! And he's MAD? GIVE U.S A BREAK!

[davemathews]

Yeah, Trump sat out the Vietnam war because he had a rich daddy and was able to finagle five draft deferments. If these POW heroes had done the same, Trump wouldn't be calling them "suckers."

[BobRossThaLegend]

Thank you for your unbiased and even-handed investigative journalism!

[JohnWarner-lurq]

Show us the transcript, or the audio recording, and we'll consider it.

[MarionQuintero]

Where’s the video of Trump saying that? Where can I find it?

[Mikeyfromtheblock]

Make Accountability Great Again

[Ryzenupsong]

I still haven’t seen any credible evidence. If someone can point me to it I will definitely be voting for Harris!

[jeff]

He called POW's the same thing he calls his supporters and patrons who send him money.. "suckers".

[danielscherer]

"I don't get it. What was in it for them?" Is an understandable question when you consider soldiers charging into withering machine gun fire. It's an expression of astonishment.

"God Help Us"-We all need the help to not let any Republican in the house

I’m here for the circus and rn it’s absolutely the funniest circus I’ve ever seen like the judge literally had to legally silence him to get him to finally shut up 😂
