WESSEL: Good afternoon. I’m David Wessel. I’m director of the Hutchins Centers on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at Brookings. I want to welcome everybody who’s in this room, people who are in the overflow room next door, and who may be watching online. We’re Tweeting this at #AfterTheVote, and that’s important because if you’re not in the room and you want to ask a question later, the best way to do it is to Tweet it to that. One of my colleagues will keep an eye on things. I apologize in advance, given the intense interest and the number of people, I know that that there will be people whose questions will not be answered, but I suspect that this will not be the last conversation we have on this subject. (Laughter) I think it would be -- it’s obviously an exaggeration to say that we are surprised to find ourselves today talking about a Trump presidency and Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

  • Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ - the Atlantic
    9/6/2020 Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ - The Atlantic POLITICS Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ e president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell e Atlantic. JEFFREY GOLDBERG SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 Donald Trump greets families of the fallen at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day 2017. (CHIP SOMODEVILLA / GETTY) When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t ìy” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true. Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with ërsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ 1/13 9/6/2020 Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ - The Atlantic the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s ëlled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed. [ From the April 2020 issue: e president is winning his war on American institutions ] Belleau Wood is a consequential battle in American history, and the ground on which it was fought is venerated by the Marine Corps.

The Arizona Republican, a leading voice on military matters in Congress, waded into a snow- balling dispute between his party’s controversial nominee and Khizr and Ghazala Khan, issuing the strongest rebuke yet to Trump from a senior Republican on the issue. “While our Party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not SABRATHA, LIBYA: A handout picture released on July 25, 2016, by the Sabratha accompanied by unfettered license to defame Municipal Council, shows what the council said was a migrant recovery operation off those who are the best among us,” McCain, who the coast of the western town of Sabratha. —AFP was a prisoner of war for five years during the Vietnam War, wrote in a long statement.

  • Donald Trump Has Proven That He Does Not Know What Any Potential Commander-In-Chief Should: That Military Families Also Serve
    Donald Trump has proven that he does not know what any potential Commander-in-Chief should: that military families also serve. blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2016/08/03/donald-trump-has-proven-that-he-does-not-know-what-any-potential-commander-in-chief-should-that-military-families-also-serve/ Until now Donald Trump’s presidential bid has remained relatively immune to the backlash which has followed by his offensive comments and rhetoric. That may be about to change after the GOP’s nominee criticized the family of Humayun Khan, an Army captain killed in Iraq in 2004, who had attacked Trump over his immigration policies. Nancy Sherman writes that what has been missed in the commentary on this week’s events is that military families also serve, by going to war vicariously with their family member, and often suffer from complicated grief syndromes and PTSD.
