President Trump has cranked up pressure on health officials to expedite work both on a coronavirus vaccine and on treatments that might signal to voters there is an end in sight to the life-altering pandemic that has imperiled his reelection prospects


New detail in WaPo: In one account, Trump told senior advisers that he didn't understand why the U.S. government placed such value on finding soldiers missing in action because they had performed poorly and gotten caught and deserved what they got.


Trump doubles down on telling his supporters to vote for him twice in the November election and continues to promote voter fraud at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania Thursday night.


"When McCain died...Trump told his senior staff...“We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,” and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser.”


For Donald Trump, the pitch now is less that voters are better off, and more about how much worse things could get for them


Humiliation terrifies him


This, in Trump-speak, is a full confession of guilt. He's sweaty and terrified right now.


Pompeo and Simple Jared have been in the Middle East strategizing with Netanyahu, MBZ and MBS on the US election - chew on that. They have also been planning the cover up in case Trump is removed from office. Barr is back home covering their asses. America 2020 sucks ass.


My father was taken prisoner in occupied Shanghai by the Japanese military in 1943 because he’d become an American citizen years earlier. Trump would’ve called him a “sucker” and a “loser.” How wrong can someone be? The biggest loser in American history is Donald J. Trump.


Update: @JimLaPorta has a second source confirming the story. His sources are current, not former, @DeptofDefense officials - which is truly fascinating.


Just a reminder the second amendment wasn’t designed to kill people practicing the first.

Everything about this moment in history feels painful. Our entire citizenry & national identity is being abused by our leaders - & a significant % of us is sickly relishing in it. I was not raised in an abusive household, but I now have a new level of empathy for those who were.

Amazing reporting by @JeffreyGoldberg. Incredible. Trump asked “Who were the good guys in this war?” about World War II. At the grave of John Kelly’s son in Arlington @realDonaldTrump said to him: “ I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”


The AP confirms the Atlantic’s reporting


For the first time in your life be brave: Resign and face the consequences. — Mary L Trump


A man suspected of fatally shooting a supporter of a right-wing group in Portland, Oregon, last week was killed as investigators moved in to arrest him. That's according to a senior Justice Department official who spoke to @AP.


It would be nice to have a Commander-in-Chief who has served or had a family member who served, but America deserves one who, at the very least, respects the Americans who put their life on the line for us, and certainly those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.


We veterans see it, too, @kayleighmcenany. Seems we’re not as easily fooled as you.


You’re going to die in jail @realDonaldTrump Kelly, Mattis and Dunford didn’t miss their shot.


Now I get why @realDonaldTrump won’t stand up to Putin for bounties on our troops. Does Trump act as a Russia agent? Yes. But, Trump also thinks any US troops killed by Russia bounties are “suckers” or “losers.” He hasn’t defended them. He never will.

"A former senior administration official confirmed to The Washington Post that the president frequently made disparaging comments about veterans and soldiers missing in action, referring to them at times as 'losers'."


On his first day as president, Trump stood before Memorial Wall at CIA to talk about himself—not the dead reflected in the engraved stars behind him. Ambassador Ryan Crocker at the time: “I can’t imagine a worse Day One scenario. And what’s next?”

NEW: Statement by Vice President Joe Biden on the Deepening Repression in Tibet

“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” “Who were the good guys in this war?” Our President asked this? As a vet who served alongside those who gave their life for our nation, and son of a 2-tour Vietnam vet, these are disgusting, un-American statements

An hour before he was killed, Reinoehl was working on setting up a GoFundMe page and talking about plans for his two kids, a friend say


UPDATE from the sheriff's agency investigating the shooting: The department says 4 officers shot their guns. They believe the suspect had a weapon but can't say right now whether or not he used it. The shooting happened around a vehicle near an apartment.


Well, you are a massive liar, since every single one of us heard what @realDonaldTrump called @SenJohnMcCain. Why, even lickspittle @DanCrenshawTX had to tell him to cut it out. And the sources are pretty obviously Mattis, Kelly, Dunford and Fuentes. I’ll take them over you.


Breaking. @MSNBC exclusive Mary Trump reacts to The Atlantic report: "Anybody who is surprised by Donald's comments is once again letting him off the hook when he has time after time demonstrated himself to be nothing but an anti-American, anti-military traitor to this country."


This sentiment is going around.


If you remain in the Administration after this story, your legacy will be bonded to Trump’s disgust for our dead and wounded soldiers. Walk out now, or own this forever.

Trump rarely speaks to press upon returning to DC. Can't recall when he ever has. But he did tonight in the dark to vigorously deny the Atlantic story. "I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes...What animal would say such a thing?”


@madrid_mike My father serving in the early 1950s as a Marine. He’s 90 now and cannot believe what Trump said.


My father just called me , he is 86 yr old . A 25 yr Ret Marine MSGT. He is pissed off , he was cussing over the phone before I could say hello. I am a 8 yr Army vet as well , but hearing my father this upset over Trump is disturbing to me


"The president told senior advisers he didn’t understand why the US government placed such value on finding soldiers missing in action because they had performed poorly and deserved what they got, according to a person familiar with the discussion."


Dear @realDonaldTrump: You lie. You are on videotape calling American hero John McCain a loser. Also, when are you going to condemn Vladimir Putin for paying the Taliban money to kill US troops?


Time has come General Kelly.


Kinda felt like a hired gun for the top 3%. Protecting rich mans interests then spit in our faces. Lost freinds,family who shed blood and died. Now we die again for a liar and a fraud. Bounties for votes just to stay in power.


Talk about rapid intensification, wow. Super Typhoon #Haishen is churning up the waters of the West Pacific, a Cat. 5 storm that is fcst to hit parts of Japan and South Korea this wknd. Plenty of warm water ahead of it, too.


In 2 months we can elect a Commander in Chief who truly loves our military and supports them as heroes not “suckers” or “losers”


Here’s my promise to you: If I have the honor of serving as the next commander in chief, I will ensure that our American heroes know that I will have their back and honor their sacrifice. Always.


The President responds

Read Jeff Goldberg’s article in The Atlantic. How could anyone support Trump?


Recall that John Kelly launched a false attack on Rep. Frederica Wilson after she criticized Trump for purportedly telling the mother of a fallen soldier that “he knew what he signed up for.”


A judge removed Kanye West from the Virginia ballot because his campaign used "improper, fraudulent and/or misleading means" to secure a ballot position. Kanye faces a similar lawsuit in Arizona. He was accused of fraud in Wisconsin too. There could be real legal fallout here....


Watergate defendant Liddy's son sentenced for child porn


The president's words about Senator McCain have always said far more about his own character than the Senator's. None of it will ever change what he means to the U.S. Navy, Arizona, our country, or me. We remember him as a hero.


People risked getting the coronavirus and dying to listen to this material


THE US PRESIDENT AND THE KREMLIN AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ALIGNED LIKE THIS. THIS ISN'T NORMAL. šŸ—³️ Russia and Trump push false claims of massive voter fraud šŸ’° Russia and Trump push false claims of Biden corruption šŸ©¹ Russia and Trump push false claims of Biden's mental decline


Heads up, media. Tea Pain’s about to read you the riot act. Reportin’ has been confirmed that Donald Trump calls our fallen military “losers” and “suckers.” Your job is to track down every member of Congress for comment. Will you rise up for truth or support Trump with silence?


After WH "briefing given by the then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joe Dunford, Trump turned to aides and said, 'That guy is smart. Why did he join the military?'" How can anyone with integrity & values support this sorry excuse for a man


The President didn’t attend the memorial at the cemetery but he did show up at an event the following day to greet Putin


I’m not standing for the National Anthem until America removes @realdonaldtrump from the @whitehouse, either by vote or force.


Biden is acting like he's already the president, which is easy to do when the actual president is on the golf course or hiding in a ramp tunnel. The nation is starved for leadership at the top. Joe is providing that leadership.

My great grandfather Theodore Roosevelt jr (and his brother) are buried in Normandy. Even as sons of a president, born into privilege, they understood they had an equal obligation to serve this great nation. There is a “loser” here, but it is not anyone buried in Normandy.


Update: a second source, specifically a senior U.S. Marine Corps officer with knowledge of President @realDonaldTrump comments confirmed the @TheAtlantic story. Here’s my copy at the @AP
