Original Note:
The claim that Trump called veterans this originates from a 2020 Atlantic article citing multiple unnamed sources. Former White House chief of staff John Kelly later confirmed this remark to CNBC. Even so, sans a recording or direct evidence, it still remains conjecture. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/john-kelly-confirms-trump-privately-disparaged-us-service-members-vete-rcna118543
