Of course, Trump is on the record as fully denying the claims of the article despite witnesses:
It would be a mistake to think Trump's supporters would stop supporting him over these revelations. These people are truly lost. No amount of facts will make them budge. That is what makes them so scary. They are willfully stupid. There are literally tens of millions of these people, whether or not they ever served in the military, and they are lost. They are not going to shed years of lies told them by outfits like Fox News or, more important, they are not going to reject the garbage taught by their parents of racism, xenophobia, and sexism. They just aren't. They will go down with the S.S. Donald Trump no matter what.
And there is this snip from Rachel Maddow's interview with Trump's niece Mary Trump:
The one thing that would "trigger" Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is the military given Biden's late son Beau's service. I can picture the ads, I can picture Biden bringing this up during the debates.
If a Democrat had ever shown this much contempt for the military, that candidate would be history and buried in a landslide. However, Trump supporters are cultists.
I personally don't think it is going to make much difference in Trump's support, but I hope for the sake of the country I am wrong.
