WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump says Pentagon leaders want to keep waging wars in order to keep defense contractors “happy.”
Trump continues to fight allegations that he made offensive comments about fallen U.S. service-members.
At a White House news conference Monday, Trump repeated his claim that the story was a “hoax” and said: “I’m not saying the military’s in love with me. The soldiers are.”
However, he added, “The top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t because they want to do nothing but fight wars so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.”
