Fred Trump III slammed his uncle Donald Trump during a television interview on Monday, attacking the former president’s record of insulting soldiers and claiming: “He just doesn’t give a s—t about them.”
The Republican nominee’s nephew appeared on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House after Donald Trump spent the weekend defending himself from a firestorm of criticism over his controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery last week, where a member of his campaign staff allegedly got into a physical altercation with an official at the burial ground.
Host Nicolle Wallace asked Fred Trump about the story and his uncle’s previous slights against wounded and killed service members, including his reported descriptions of the fallen as “suckers” and “losers” (Donald Trump denies making the remarks, despite his own former chief of staff claiming that he did).
