The White House is describing an anonymously sourced article from The Atlantic as "a disgrace," claiming that it falsely accuses President Trump of insulting dead soldiers and being ignorant of who fought in World War I. That's because they are false," White House spokesman Judd Deere tweeted on Thursday. The Atlantic's article, written by editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, cites four unnamed sources in saying that Trump claimed the Aisne-Marne American cemetery near Paris was "filled with losers." Goldberg also claimed Trump labeled as losers Marines who died at the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I. President Trump later posted a series of tweets about McCain and saying he never called fallen soldiers anything other than "HEROES."
