Retired four star general Barry McCaffrey and former Defense Secretary William Cohen join Andrea Mitchell to react to reporting from the Atlantic that President Trump called Americans who died in war "losers" and "suckers." General McCaffrey says that Trump "is a man of many fears" who "can't understand the millions of veterans who have stepped forward to fight and defend this country." Secretary Cohen adds that "almost everything he has done has proven that he is unfit to serve." Aired on 09/04/2020.

Trump 'Is A Man Of Many Fears': Former Military Leaders React To The Atlantic's Reporting | MSNBC
As a vet I’ve been watching Trump closely and these statements are right in line with his behavior. Trumpists can no longer claim to support the troops after this.
Thank you for your service I have family members who served I have the greatest respect for Veterans
You’re a moron for believing this lmao
@jm michaels
It’s the disinfectant it kills the brain cells
*The Commander Bully in Chief Need to Go In November* 👌
BIDEN HARRIS 2020
Do you really need to hear more, to get the message.
You have a duty on Nov 3rd to end this madness. Do YOUR DUTY !
VOTE BLUE….because theTRumpnecks don’t care
Trump has never suffered consequences for his words or actions.
That is the damned problem.
@Ken Albertsen Abortion is now “healthcare” and domestic terrorists are “peaceful protesters” ??? …oh and if you don’t vote for Biden “you ain’t Black” ???

@D MAN not in his cult
HE CAN THINK AND SAY WHAT HE WANTS ABOUT THE TROOPS. HE IS AN AMERICAN. FREE SPEECH . FIRST AMENDMENT . LEARN IT
@Mr Clean He can’t lie and create chaos.
He has a responsibility as President of the United States of America.
Read his obligations.
He’s not a private citizen.
He’s about to. Vote on November 3rd, and watch what happens to him.
How can a president call Americans who fought and died for the country “LOSERS and SUCKERS”!!
BUT he called those who rumbled in their trucks and vehicles, into the city firing pellets at the crowd
” PATRIOTS” !!
Because he’s a horse’s axx, with zero understanding of Honor, sacrifice or empathy.
““A coward (like Donald Trump) dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.” — William Shakespeare
trump: “William who?” “Never heard of him.”
Shakespeare, yet another never trumper.
Ignorance is bliss. Can’t believe there are people in Secret Service willing to take a bullet for his values. They have my sympathy.
Winnie Nourse …and they have my pity.
We all know who the real loser is, Private Bonespurs.
doesnt deserve the “private”
never enllisted..
@Erv It’s from his days in the military school his father sent him to because the family couldn’t bear to have him in the house with them.
@Pam Johnson 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And who are the clowns laughing when he said those despicable things. They should be ashamed.
In-Bred Boogans.
Trumps cult have no shame.You have a nice Irish name👍
Thanks, just my YT name because I like it too. 😊☘🍀 And yes The Cult of DJT does not care about anything especially truth.
Serving in the military is not about money, it’s inside you, there doesn’t have to be anything in it for you, because it’s already there.
Best comment!
General Barry McCaffrey you right, Donald Trump is a total disaster.
Yeah, getting America out of wars is a disaster. Let me tell you. 😆
Ron Swanson look at our country fuckwad. It poorer, weaker, and less protected than four years ago. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
@Steve’s Guitars – Actually, it’s not. The Leftists and the Never-Trumpers are just telling you that. The US is more powerful in the world than after Reagan and both Bush’s. The economy has never ever been this strong.
What do we get from Democrats? More death and a Race War. Is that what you want more of?
Ron Swanson, awwww, you all sound soooo desperate as you take your last gasp. You are equally deplorable as this Presidon’t!! Shame on you.
@CK K – desperate? 😆. No. You are desperate and very frustrated with my comment. Smoke some more dope and accept the fate you chose for yourself. We will continue to rule.
Trump’s hair is more important than paying his respects to military men and women who had sacrifice themselves to make America great.
Trump didn’t want to go…
He could have put one of his MAGA caps on and been on his way.
It was that simple…
Trump has come this far BUT NO FURTHER FOR GODS SAKE ! NO MORE YEARS !
DIVINE INTERVENTION. GO TO SLEEP NEVER WAKE UP NEXT DAY
While Clinton received 2.87 million more votes than Trump did,[19] Trump received the majority in the Electoral College and won upset victories in the pivotal Rust Belt region. Ultimately, Trump received 304 electoral votes and Clinton 227, as two faithless electors defected from Trump and five defected from Clinton. Trump is the first president with neither prior public service nor military experience, and the oldest person to be inaugurated for a first presidential term.
DESTROY THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE RIGHT NOW. Our Democracy is a JOKE if a president can lose by 2.87 million votes and win the election.
“Man of Many Fears” sounds like a name Native Americans will give to…. a COWARD.
A-HO!!!
True
McCain wasn’t a hero “because he was captured,” he was a hero because he didn’t leave when he had the chance, and STAYED until his fellow POW’s could leave ALSO. But I guarantee you Trump knows NOTHING about this.
https://arizonadailyindependent.com/2016/08/09/mccains-victims-may-be-vindicated-by-hanoi-hilton-songbird-audio/.
The BizzMoneyB He knows about this, I do also. Trump chooses to ignore the fact that John McCain put his men first.
He would if been a hero regardless
McCain was a war monger. He had no business in government
Self sacrifice is a mystery for him. Join me in honoring a 200 year tradition…use the vote people died for.
If trump survives this then there’s no bottom he can reach.
Syyner – unfortunately, I don’t think we’re at the Bottom of what Trump is capable of. I can’t even imagine what he will come up with in the next two months.
@Bill Eichert
Trump has no bottom.
I didn’t particularly like John McCain’s politics, but the man was an American hero, and history will be much kinder to him than this cowardly, draft-dodging “president”.
geno mccgeno Historians shouldn’t even waste their time with him, this incorrigible criminal should be consigned to the trash can of history ASAP.
Captain Pugwash I agree, but history is history, and unfortunately trump will remain an embarrassing black mark on ours forever. The truth is that he’s such an ignorant, corrupt, and ridiculously incompetent buffoon that future generations will be laughing at him for centuries, which is exactly the legacy he deserves.
Every single person who is currently serving [ or who has served in the armed forces within America]…YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO COME NOVEMBER!! BIDEN/HARRIS, 2020!!!
What kind of person who dodged the draft , would bad talk real heroes ? Such a petty man .
t-rump says: “it´s a shame” – The whole world shouts: “t-rump, S H A M E O N Y O U !”
One massive psychological projection. I expected that.
incompetent trump sais: “I don’t like loosers!” – Okay, how do you call somebody who went bankrupt for at least 6 times????????
@myavid curation – Trump Tower.
@Russ Martin
He sees the devil himself, his mirror image.
@Janet McGibney I have to disagree. He sees a scared child that just wants to bully others as he was as a child. He never mentally matured past 5 years old
@Russ Martin
A scared Devil child maybe!
@Janet McGibney evil
