President Donald Trump touted his popularity with the troops and complained about his lack of support from military leaders at the Pentagon, days after a news report claimed he disparaged fallen service members as “losers” and “suckers.”

Trump, speaking at a Labor Day press conference at the White House Monday, compared his treatment of soldiers to that of his challenger in the upcoming election, former Vice President Joe Biden, who, according to Trump, sent the nation’s youth to fight in endless wars. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/trump-says-troops-love-him-attacks-top-brass-who-want-to-do-nothing-but-fight-wars-1.644216
