Any service member who supports Trump is indeed a "sucker and loser". You pretty much have to be to that that kind of abuse and still support him.

Also must not give a shit about their oath if they support Trump, defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and all that
Trump is the domestic enemy.
Domestic terrorist.
Just any poor to middle class who supports Trump is a sucker and loser, including the service members. The only people supporting him who aren't suckers are deeply sociopathic.
The cemetery in question is in France and exclusively for Americans who died in The Great War (WW1). None of those men knew or supported Donald Trump, as he was not born for another 30 years.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Holy shit this comment section is a dumpster fire.
I should have headed your warning. I have less faith in the Lemmy community after having read through these comments.

Holy fucking clown world Batman!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He paused for a moment and added, “That man doesn’t deserve to have been the commander in chief for my son, my uncle.” Beau Biden and Ambrose Finnegan both served in the military before Trump took office.
Biden's comments referred to Trump’s 2018 trip to Paris for the centennial of the end of World War I, when he declined to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and reportedly called Marines who died at Belleau Wood “suckers” and fallen soldiers at the U.S. cemetery “losers.”
Former White House chief of staff John Kelly confirmed last year that Trump privately made the remarks, which The Atlantic first reported.
“Joe Biden is repeating an old and tired lie about President Trump to deflect from the fact that he has is the weakest Commander in Chief in history,” national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
Biden has often cited Trump's 2018 remarks, but Wednesday was the first time he had tied them directly to his son and his uncle.
Biden, who was in Pittsburgh for the second stop of a three-city tour of Pennsylvania, said he was reminded of Trump’s comments about service members while he was visiting a war memorial in Scranton.
