President Trump says top Pentagon brass seek wars to keep defense contractors ‘happy’

President Trump says top officials at the U.S. Department of Defense want to continue waging wars in order to keep defense contractors “happy.”

At a White House news conference, the president also reiterated his claim that reports he had made offensive comments about fallen U.S. service members and called World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France “losers” and “suckers” were a "hoax."
