I'm just confused because of the fact that he called veterans, "cowards."

Not looking to argue or debate; genuinely just wanting to understand your POV.

You would be better off asking this question on r/AskTrumpSupporters. Trump voters typically do not frequent this subreddit and thread, due to people being hostile towards them regardless of context.

This original claim came from an Atlantic article that alleged 4 anonymous sources. In response Trump denied the whole thing. Which of them is telling the truth is anyone's guess (Trump is far from truthful and 'the media' has a history of lying about him), but the point is that it's a murky enough issue for people who want to like Trump to assume it's a lie, and for people who want to hate Trump to assume it's true.

Chalk this issue up to one more example of our two political sides living in opposing realities.
