Trump demands Fox reporter Jennifer Griffin be fired for confirming he called US servicemen suckers

Donald Trump demands Fox reporter Jennifer Griffin is fired after she confirmed he called US servicemen 'suckers' - as Melania backs him up and says 'This is not journalism, this is activism'

Donald Trump has demanded that Fox News fire a reporter, after she confirmed a report in the Atlantic which suggested he had mocked and belittled war veterans.

The politically explosive report, published on Thursday, claimed that the president called U.S. military heroes killed in battle 'losers' and 'suckers' – and turned down a trip to visit U.S. war dead in France due to the rain.

Fox News, the Washington Post and Associated Press were among the news outlets to all confirm the Atlantic's reporting on Friday.

Trump was so enraged by Fox News' reporting, confirming the story, that he demanded the journalist Jennifer Griffin be fired.

FFS, he's got one foot in the grave. If there is a god, hopefully he will have the other one in there soon.

Another one at whose obituary I will rejoice upon.
