The 60-second ad by VoteVets, first reviewed by The Hill, features Gold Star parents going after Trump for having in the past called veterans “losers” and “suckers.”
The ad opens with a shot of a military cemetery, and placed over it is a quote attributed to Trump: “Why should I go to that cemetery, it’s filled with losers.” In 2020, The Atlantic reported that Trump said this related to canceling a visit to a World War I cemetery in France. Trump said the report was false. It was later corroborated by John Kelly, who was Trump’s chief of staff at the time of the disputed comments.
Following in the ad are comments from parents who lost children to war.
“My stepson was not a loser,” a Gold Star parent narrates. Later, she says, “My stepson was not a sucker.”
“My son is not a loser,” another mother says.
“My son Matthew is not a loser,” a father says.
The ad highlights two servicemen who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Later, their Gold Star parents blast Trump, calling him “the real loser.”
“Lance Cpl. Alexander Scott Arredondo died in Najaf, Iraq, in 2004,” a Gold Star parent says of her stepson in the ad.
Another parent follows: “My son, Sgt. James Anthony Ayube II, gave his life in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 2010. … That is something Donald Trump will never know.”
The ad ends with: “My message to Donald Trump is this, you have no right. You’re the real loser here.”
