President Joe Biden seemingly got under Donald Trump’s skin at their presidential debate on Thursday night by calling him a “sucker” and a “loser,” words the former president is purported to have used behind closed doors about dead U.S. soldiers.
The Atlantic reported in 2020 that Trump had repeatedly expressed open disgust for America’s fallen service members, reportedly canceling a 2018 trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery because it was raining and filled with “losers,” and referring to Marines killed in World War I as “suckers.”
Trump denied the reports at the time, but they were confirmed last year to CNN by his own former White House chief of staff, John Kelly.
