"Well, I was at the dignified transfer, unlike a lot of other people... I do. I didn't see it. I mean, somebody puts it out. We have a lot of people working for us. But there's nobody that's better to the military than me. And all you have to do is look at the election. Look at the elections results. Look at kind of votes that we get. Look at all the numbers. There's nobody who's ever been higher as a president than me with the military."
"You know what ABC News, I think it's maybe the most corrupt news organizations on the planet. I think they're terrible... Okay, I don't want any more from ABC."
Trump attended a dignified transfer ceremony for six servicemembers killed in the Iran War. A Trump PAC subsequently sent a fundraising email featuring official White House photos from the ceremony, also promising access to secret briefings. The email drew widespread criticism. When confronted by an ABC News reporter aboard Air Force One, Trump defended the email as appropriate. He attacked the reporter, claiming no president has higher military support than him based on election results. Trump then criticized ABC News as corrupt and fake, refusing further questions from the outlet.
