“Miracle on the Hudson” Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III is slamming President Donald Trump after a report alleged the president called fallen U.S. soldiers “losers.”
Sullenberger — who is best known for a successful emergency crash landing of a damaged plane on the Hudson River in January 2009 — made known his thoughts about the president after The Atlanticreported that Trump previously called American war dead “losers” and “suckers.”
Trump has denied the report and U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper sought to defend to the president, saying on Friday that “Trump has the highest respect and admiration for our nation’s Military members, veterans and families.” However, it sparked outrage from many.
