John Kelly has criticized his former boss, Donald Trump, for downplaying statements he allegedly made about service members and veterans.
The former White House Chief of Staff’s statement is a needed confirmation of claims that Trump has referred to fallen soldiers as “sick” and “losers” during his presidency. It is important to note that the accusation, which caused considerable controversy and discussion in the media and among the public, was initially disputed or defended by few.
John Kelly Holds Nothing Back As He Reprimands Donald Trump For His Old Offensive Comments
As Trump’s legal troubles continue, Kelly has added an additional nail to his coffin, confirming long-held suspicions about the former President’s true feelings for veterans. In a statement released on Monday, the 73-year-old wrote:
“Someone who thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in battle, or spend years tortured as POWs are all ‘sick’ because ‘there’s nothing for them.’ Someone who doesn’t want to be seen in the presence of amputated military personnel because ‘it doesn’t look good to me.’”
“Someone who showed open contempt for Gold Star families — for all Gold Star families — on TV during the 2016 campaign, and called our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense were ‘losers’ and would not visit them. grave in France,” he continued.

According to the 2020 report by Atlantic, Trump’s disparaging remarks about US service members and veterans including Senator John McCain and former President George HW Bush. It also claims that Trump referred to the Marines who died at Belleau Wood as “suckers” and called the fallen soldiers at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery “losers.”
Kelly’s criticism of the politician went beyond these reported comments as he slammed his former boss for what he perceived as dishonesty on a range of issues. One of those problems is his stance on topics such as abortion, women’s rights, minorities, evangelical Christians, Jews, and working individuals.
Going further, the retired US Marine Corps general echoed Trump’s recent remarks about Army General Mark Milley, who recently retired as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As it shows, as detailed by NBC News:
“One dare suggest that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peace and war should lose his life for treason – with the expectation that someone will take action.”
The former political adviser later described the media personality as an admirer of “murderous autocrats and dictators,” and people whose only feeling for “our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law” is “contempt.” Concluding his impassioned statement, Kelly insisted, “There’s nothing more to say. God help us.”

A second critic mused, “Does @realDonaldTrump really believe all the crap that comes out of his mouth, or is he just trying to get us to drink the Kool-Aid? That includes declaring his weight to be 215 pounds. Which half of his body is obese? #TrumpArrest #TrumpMugShot.”
“215 pounds??!!!! 6’3? He will be thin if this is true? Lies, lies, lies,” a third person emphasized, while a fourth added, “Apparently he describes himself as 6°3 and 215 pounds which is the same height and weight as Ali in this photo,” alongside a picture of the late legendary boxer. Muhammad Ali in its heyday.
One X user went so far as to take a dig at Trump fans, writing, “It’s fitting that the same people who believe Trump is 6°3″ and #215lbs also believe he won the election….”
The release of the comic comes before Trump begins attending court for his ongoing civil fraud trial.
