Analysts say the remarks could prove harmful when bidding for the presidential election, but he may not get the expected results in garnering the support of military voters when bidding for the presidential re-election.
Donald Trump controversial Statement ???
According to the Atlantic, Mr. Trump did not want to visit the U.S. cemetery outside Paris in 2018 because he said it was "filled with losers".
He told four magazines (not verified) that he refused to go because the rain would ruin his hair, and he did not think it was important to honor America's war-wounded.
During that visit, the president allegedly referred to the 1,800 U.S. troops who died in Beleu Wood as "suckers." The war helped prevent German advance in Paris, during World War I, and was honored by the U.S. Marine Corps.
A White House statement in 2018 revealed that the visit had been canceled due to the President's helicopter landing due to bad weather. The account was recently backed up in a book by John Bolton, a former national security adviser to President Trump, who has been a vocal critic of Mr. Trump.
A statement from the Associated Press stated that "the source of the Atlantic report was multifaceted, but the Associated Press reports that they compiled the report in response to recent remarks by the president."
Donald Trump controversy, latest views of the Prominent people
Among the comments from celebrities, President Trump's interest in the November presidential election, interested opposition face Joe Biden responded by saying it was "inappropriate" to lead his response.
"If the article is true - and it appears to be based on other things he said - it's very frustrating. It's an insult."

Veteran Democratic Senator Tommy Duckworth, who lost both legs during the war in Iraq, said President Trump "chose to use the U.S. military for his own arrogance."
Khizr Khan, the father of a U.S. soldier killed in Iraq, joined Duckworth at his call to criticize Mr. Trump during the 2016 Democratic Conference.
He said: "When Donald Trump calls someone who puts his life in the service of others frustrated, we understand Trump's spirit."
President Trump called them "fake news" and warned of action against the report.
President Trump Statement
"Thinking that when I have done nothing with the budget increase, the military budget, with the pay rise for the army, I will take a statement to our military and our fallen heroes." "This is a disgraceful situation for a horrible magazine."
He told a news conference on Friday that the controversial remarks were made by his former White House chief of staff, John Kelly. The former U.S. Marine General is "unable to cope with this workload."
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also told Fox News in an interview Friday morning that he was with the president on a visit to France and that he had never heard the words in the article.
Defense Secretary Mark Asper told Politico that Mr. Trump had "the highest respect and admiration for our country's military members, veterans and families," although the Pentagon chief did not explicitly deny the story.
Mick Mulvanei, another former White House chief of staff, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a former press secretary, have all denied the allegations.
Where are Trump and the US military position?
The U.S. president has often been seen as having good relations with the military. Their strong support, and last year at the Pew Research Center, found that seniors generally supported him as commander-in-chief, with 57% of the vote in his favor. Three-fifths of seniors, identified as Republicans, had support, the study found.
Earlier, however, there were instances of Trump's controversial remarks.
He lamented that the late Senator John McCain, a prisoner of war in Vietnam, was not a "war hero": "I like people who are not prisoners."
President Trump has never been uniform. He received five pending offers from a military draft during the Vietnam War - four for academic reasons and one for bone stimulation, a calcium build-up in the heels.
