WASHINGTON (AP) Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden declared President Donald Trump unfit for the presidency on Friday, delivering an impassioned reaction to a report that Trump who never served in uniform allegedly mocked American war dead.
The president and his allies have dismissed the report in The Atlantic as false.
The allegations, sourced anonymously, describe multiple offensive comments by the president toward fallen and captured U.S. service-members, including calling World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France as losers and suckers in 2018.
The reported comments, many of which were confirmed independently by the AP, are shining a fresh light on Trumps previous public disparagement of American troops and military families. That opens a new political vulnerability for the president less than two months from Election Day.
