The political cat was set among the pigeons Wednesday with a publication of a scathing new article in The Atlantic magazine.<br />According to CNN, the author cited multiple sources who recounted instances of President Donald Trump speaking scornfully of US military men and women.<br />Trump allegedly called them 'losers' and 'suckers,' and expressed particular contempt for those who had been maimed, captured, or killed in the line of duty.<br />CNN has not yet independently verified the allegations, and the President and White House staffers are pushing back on the story--loudly.<br />However, there's a problem. Trump has a public record of televised comments in which he has expressed similar contempt for and disrespect of the military.<br />He's said the late Sen. John McCain was not a hero for having been a POW in Vietnam for years, and called five-star Gen. James Mattis 'overrated.'<br />Trump has also publicly smeared gold star families, whose sons or daughters have been killed in action.
