In a heated exchange during their Thursday debate, US President Joe Biden launched a scathing attack on his Republican rival, Donald Trump. Biden accused Trump of disparaging veterans and the military, specifically referring to Trump’s alleged comments in 2018 where he reportedly refused to visit a European cemetery with American war dead and called them “losers.”
Biden, visibly emotional, defended his late son Beau, a veteran, stating, “My son was not a loser, he was not a sucker.” He directly addressed Trump, saying, “You’re the sucker, you’re the loser.”
Trump, who denied ever using the word “loser” to describe US troops, countered Biden’s accusation, emphasizing his respect for the military and highlighting his own record of supporting veterans. The exchange escalated the already tense debate, further highlighting the deep divisions between the two candidates on issues of national security and military service.
