Donald Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday and brought up a story line from a few months ago that reported that he called military members “suckers” and “losers.”
“The ‘losers & suckers’ statement on dead military heroes has been proven to be a total fabrication and lie,” Trump tweeted Wednesday. “IT WAS NEVER MADE! The ‘anonymous’ fabricator, who is a major sleaze, went forward with the lie despite 25 strong witnesses to the contrary. Welcome to the roaring 20’s!”

Trump’s tweet was met with criticism and ridicule:
This is a consistent pattern with you – you say things, they are on the record, on tape, on video – and then you turn around and say "I never said that."
You did say these things. Your denial does not change anything. pic.twitter.com/S9OxJB935D

"Welcome to the roaring 20’s!" What the hell are you even talking about? Do you even know where you're at anymore? Did you just call General Kelly a major sleaze? And do you know the roaring 20's ended in an ugly crash? That's where you're headed too. Enjoy prison, Donald!

Not sure why the president is tweeting about this now but I will note in the past 24 hours I’ve noticed that voting stats from military bases have been revealed. And some of them show Biden beating Trump. https://t.co/dmWaJsODeX
