Memorial Day Controversy: Krassenstein Highlights Trump's Disrespect for Military and Veterans This Memorial Day, a video by Brian and Ed Krassenstein has gone viral, highlighting what they see as a pattern of disrespect from Donald Trump towards the US military and veterans. The video compiles several news reports detailing Trump's past comments and actions, sparking a renewed conversation about his relationship with the armed forces. The video cites Trump's reported comments calling fallen soldiers "losers" and "suckers," a claim backed by numerous news reports.
