President Donald Trump said Monday that top Defense Department leaders want to keep waging wars in order to keep defense contractors “happy.”

Trump continues to fight allegations that he made offensive comments about fallen U.S. service-members, including calling World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France “losers” and “suckers” in 2018. The Atlantic first reported on the anonymously sourced allegations.

At a White House news conference Monday, Trump repeated his claim that the story was a “hoax” and said: “I’m not saying the military’s in love with me. The soldiers are.”

However, he added, “The top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.”

Trump’s relationship with military brass has been strained since he threatened this summer to use the Insurrection Act to provide troops for law enforcement during the protests after George Floyd’s death.

Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has also expressed regret for walking with Trump through Lafayette Square in what turned out to be a photo op during the protests.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper, whom Trump appointed, was defense contractor Raytheon Co.’s chief Washington lobbyist before he became Army secretary in 2017.

What makes you believe he'll lose?

Trump chances of getting reelected is sure as Bayern Munich chances of winning German league every year, Biden Democratic gimmick of hand picking a black female vice president aspirant will end in tears, the Black don't even account up to 25% of America's population but the act as if they controlled the country's entertainment which is actually true but politics will be politics and not Instagram folllowers

What makes you believe he'll lose?

With as much fervour as you might have for your president, would you vote him if just about everyone you know, you inclusive loses his job, have their houses reclaimed and lost a loved one to Coronavirus?

Would you be happy as a veteran or indeed the offspring of one to be called a sucker for wanting to serve your nation?

Would you be calm enough to re-elect even as you are witnessing chaos and anarchy across all major cities, lost hope in your country as the bastion of science, democracy and patriotism?

The polls show he's losing even with the electoral college.

Realise, he hasn't won new voters and a support base but has succeeded in alienating those who did last time around.

E go soon clear you for eyes.

I have no doubt that war keeps military contractors happy. That this is coming from Trump doesn't automatically make it false.

Kamala Harris isn't a small bitch. She's Asian as much as she's black. That was a masterstroke oh.

lol. Everybody believes she's a chameleon. She's not a black woman, she's not Asian either. Blacks don't regard her neither do Asians. Asians say she is black, blacks say she's Jamaican and her ancestors owned slaves. Biden would have just been better off picking Bernie Sanders or Gretchen Whitmer. Nobody likes Kamala, not even her own party people.
She doesn't add any specific demographic to the ticket. Biden already had black votes locked (the black vote is irrelevant though) even if a lizard run as the Democrats flagbearer blacks will still vote for it
