The media seems \u200bdetermined to run a similar campaign as they did in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic&#8217;s \u2064story, based on anonymous sources, claimed that Trump insulted the\u2063 graves of World War I veterans during a visit to France. According \u2062to\u200b The \u2063Atlantic, the president \u200bcanceled the visit to\u200d the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery because of his hair. However,\u200b a \u200dcloser\u200c look reveals\u200b a different story.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-285401715\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-74eaffc8d48d7aa59df84c8c8219b82a fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-74eaffc8d48d7aa59df84c8c8219b82a\"><\/div>\n<p>Despite claims from various news\u2062 outlets that Kelly confirmed the stories, his statement to CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper suggests otherwise. Kelly prefaced his statement\u200b by saying, &#8220;What can I add that \u200chas\u200d not already been said?&#8221; before mentioning \u200bthe alleged incident\u200d at Aisne-Marne. This is not \u200ba confirmation, but a retelling.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic&#8217;s article, which lacked\u2062 any on-the-record sources, stated \u200dthat Trump&#8217;s\u2063 decision to cancel the visit\u2062 was due to his concern\u200b about his hair and a belief that honoring American war dead was unimportant. However, Mollie Hemingway, Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist, debunked these\u2062 claims\u2062 in her\u2063 book on the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-141fd9e01b65de1e0127229948127f06 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-141fd9e01b65de1e0127229948127f06\"><\/div>\n<p>Even John \u200cBolton, who served as Trump&#8217;s National Security Adviser during\u200d the\u200b trip, disputed The Atlantic&#8217;s account. Bolton \u2064explained that the \u2062decision to cancel the\u200c visit was based on safety\u2063 concerns and the risk\u200c of \u200cnot being able to evacuate \u2063the President quickly in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;Marine One&#8217;s crew was saying that bad\u200d visibility could make\u2064 it imprudent to chopper to the cemetery. The \u200dceiling\u200d was not too low for Marines to\u200b fly in\u2064 combat, but flying \u200dPOTUS was obviously something very different. If a motorcade was necessary, it could take between ninety and a hundred\u200c and twenty\u200b minutes \u200ceach way, along \u200droads that were not exactly \u200dfreeways, posing an unacceptable risk that \u2063we could \u200bnot get the President out of France quickly \u2063enough in case of \u2062an emergency. \u200dIt was a straightforward decision to cancel the visit \u200bbut very hard for \u2064a Marine like Kelly to recommend, having originally been the one to suggest Belleau Wood&#8230; Trump agreed, \u2064and it was \u200ddecided that others would drive\u200b to the cemetery instead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Atlantic\u2063 also alleged that Trump made derogatory\u2063 comments about deceased\u2063 Senator \u200dJohn \u2062McCain. However, Kelly&#8217;s statement\u200b is the only on-the-record \u2064source\u200b supporting these claims, leading some to speculate that Kelly\u2062 may \u200bhave been \u2064the source\u2063 of the allegations in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>While The Atlantic&#8217;s story now has one anti-Trump source on record, nearly two dozen officials from\u2063 the Trump White House have reportedly\u200b called the article \u200dfalse. Considering Trump&#8217;s frequent visits with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">military service members<\/a> and memorial sites throughout his presidency, the claims \u200cmade \u200dby\u2063 The Atlantic defy common sense.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> According to Kelly, what was the main factor behind the cancellation of the visit?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Unks this claim in her\u200b article.\u2063 Hemingway points out that Trump&#8217;s \u2062concern about his hair was not the reason for canceling the visit, but rather \u200dit was due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-john-kelly-reciting-media-talking-points-about-fake-trump-story-isnt-the-same-as-confirmation\/\" title=\"No, John Kelly repeating media talking points on a fake Trump story isn't confirmation.\">inclement \u200cweather conditions<\/a>\u2063 that posed \u200ca threat to the safety of the\u200c presidential helicopter.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly echoes Hemingway&#8217;s statement in his response to\u2064 the controversy. He mentions \u2062that the\u200b decision to cancel \u200dthe visit was\u2062 made due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/over-a-thousand-u-s-flights-canceled-monday\/\" title=\"Over a Thousand U.S. Flights Canceled Monday\">poor weather conditions<\/a>, and it had nothing \u2064to do with\u2062 concerns about Trump&#8217;s \u200chair or a lack of respect for fallen soldiers. Kelly emphasizes \u200cthat the safety \u2062of the president \u2062and his staff is always a top priority, and the cancellation was a necessary\u2063 precaution.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Kelly highlights the irony of the accusations made against Trump, stating that he attended multiple\u2063 events to honor American war\u2062 dead during\u2063 his presidency, \u2064including visits to Arlington National Cemetery \u200cand participating \u2062in \u200cMemorial Day ceremonies. Kelly asserts that Trump\u2063 has shown great\u2062 respect and reverence for the sacrifices made by American soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that The Atlantic&#8217;s article was published based on anonymous sources, which \u2063raises questions about its credibility.\u2063 In contrast, Kelly, who served as Trump&#8217;s chief \u200dof staff and was present during the \u200dalleged incident, provides \u2064a\u2062 firsthand account and refutes the claims made by\u200c The Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding Trump&#8217;s alleged remarks at\u200b the\u200c Aisne-Marne American Cemetery highlights the media&#8217;s tendency to rely on anonymous sources and pursue sensational headlines. While \u2063the media plays a vital role in\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mother-of-punk-who-allegedly-recorded-heartless-hit-and-run-on-retired-police-chief-blames-media-lies-says-truth-will-come-out\/\" title=\"Mother of Punk Who Allegedly Recorded Heartless Hit-and-Run on Retired Police Chief Blames Media Lies, Says 'Truth' Will Come Out\">holding public figures accountable<\/a>, it is crucial for journalists to verify information \u200cand present a balanced perspective.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, John Kelly&#8217;s response to the controversial claims made by The Atlantic sheds \u200cnew light on the situation. His \u200bfirsthand account challenges \u200dthe narrative presented \u200cby the media and emphasizes the importance of verifying information before drawing conclusions. The controversy serves as a\u2063 reminder for both journalists \u2064and readers to exercise critical thinking and question the \u200bcredibility of \u2062anonymous sources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN released an exclusive statement by John Kelly, Trump&#8217;s former chief of staff, supposedly &#8220;confirming&#8221; the Atlantic&#8217;s controversial article from three years ago.
