Longtime Democratic politician Don Walko wrote a letter bad-mouthing President Trump (“Backing Biden for president,” Sept. 24, TribLIVE). Kenneth Powell wrote a letter about several true American heroes (“Military heroes not losers, suckers,” Sept. 28, TribLIVE).
The letters said “according to reports” and Trump “supposedly said” deceased veterans are “suckers” and “losers.”
These words were allegedly spoken when the president was in Paris with the first lady June 7 for a D-Day memorial service.
John Bolton, not a friend of the president, told Martha McCallum of Fox News that he “was there for that discussion,” and Trump never said those words.
More fake news. It’s time for this slander to stop.
