Show Caption Hide Caption Trump's military ties further strained over alleged 'loser' remarks President Trump has reportedly used words like "suckers, losers and warmongers" to describe American war heroes and Pentagon brass. Trump's public remark on Monday was sandwiched between two other explosive revelations: First, the Atlantic magazine reported that Trump repeatedly disparaged members of the military and described America's war dead as "losers" and "suckers" – accusations the president has angrily denied. And Trump’s reported use of the term "loser" to describe fallen troops echoes a contentious Pentagon meeting he had with the top brass July 20, 2017, on foreign policy as reported in the book "A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America."
