'Miracle on the Hudson' pilot 'Sully' Sullenberger slammed Trump after reports the president called US troops killed in combat 'losers'

According to The Atlantic, Trump also questioned those who choose to serve in the armed forces, rather than following a higher-earning career path,Sullenberger, who served as a fighter pilot in the US Air Force before becoming a commercial pilot for US Airways from 1980-2010, tweeted Friday evening calling Trump "selfish" and "a coward," accusing the president of being "completely unfit for" and having "no respect for the office he holds.

"For the first time in American history, a president has repeatedly shown utter and vulgar contempt and disrespect for those who have served and died serving our country," he added. US Airways Flight 1549 lost both engines after striking a flock of geese while departing New York's LaGuardia Airport in 2009.Sullenberger was the pilot in command of US Airways Flight 1549 in January 2009, when the plane struck a flock of geese while departing New York's LaGuardia Airport.

Fuck him for believing false news. Not so clever after all.

He did a great job landing that plane. But I like pilots who don’t fly into a flock of geese in the first place.

Sully u just lost a lot of support yourself! We respect our President & know he loves & respects our Military! It was almost decimated by Obama & realDonaldTrump brought them back from the brink of non-existence! U should Apologize Sully!

It's hard to believe that Sully would believe 'Anonymous ' sources from a group of anti American, Socialist Communist propaganda spewing Russian collusion loving democrats. Feel sorry for you Sully.

The pattern continues. Anonymous source, nobody else can verify, or produce proof.

Trump's response: 'I like pilots who DIDN'T crash-land their planes in the Hudson River.'

marcowenjones Point proven that Trump became president for private financial gain.

We all know this was a lie. Sully should be ashamed he didn’t do his research

Another misinformed Democrat

Doesn't make it real. Political games, it's all the loonie left has to fight with, dirty games, lies...

Sully is an obvious Never Trumper

Hoax

Well he never said that, so how about we stop reacting to slander. Let’s just stop with that nonsense.

Anyone notice the duct tape repair job on that airplane

Sully is a loser he had to CRASH land his airplane. It was a good CRASH landing but I like my pilots to stay in the air not CRASH. He doesn’t have a clue and shouldn’t be allowed to fly. He’s shot!

Unsourced and unverified sources. I have unnamed sources that say Sully is a jerk and was drunk when flying.

Business insider is owned by a German publishing behemoth created by Axel Springer.

But the writer who made the article, Jeffrey Goldberg, cited “anonymous sources.” If he can have anonymous sources, anyone can. So “anonymous sources say Jeffrey Goldberg is a c0ck sucker.” JeffreyGoldberg TrumpHatesOurVeterans

Thanks ahead of time for making Trump’s victory in Nov that much sweeter 😉

So another dummy

I see the 'intellectual' class is still behaving like petty todlers. In the grand scheme of things is all this he said she said stuff important? Youre supposed to be guiding us away from this type of petty politics.

People like Sully hate the president so much that they are willing to jump on whatever lie is put out against him. I'm sure it's only going to get worse as the election nears.

Wonder what Sully has to hide. Patriots should start digging!

I guess Sully is not as smart as we thought if he can fall for a fake-ass story like that.

There are reliable sources that say he did. It probably came from one of his temper tantrums. It probably just slipped out. He thought he was above serving in the military and got a fake excuse to avoid the draft. He says so many bad things and his people cover for him.

You're an intelligent man Mr Sullenberger, I cannot believe you would be sucked by this fabrication...

If only it was true. You have to be deranged to believe this. The president bringing troops home and not sending them to war yet yet negotiates with the world from standpoint of strength is against the military. Small minded buy into this.

Surprised Sully fell for it.

It's shame he bought into the narrative. I understand he is a veteran but Republicans should be better than this. The media we thiugh we knew is gone and they play by different rules now.

EricZorn funny,numerous people have come out and said this is a lie.whereas all the people who said its true wont put their name out.....hacks

You'd think a pilot would get the facts before opining, acting..Captsully

He REALLY believed this, huh? 🤔

Too late OOF's Atlantic beat you to the punch. Lucky for you because POTUS punches back 10X harder. POTUS foxandfriends PeteHegseth marklevinshow

Just lost respect for Sully. Anyone that says that about Trump doesn't know Trump. Believing only negative narratives is a sign of a weak mind.

Evidence Trump said it = 1 unnamed source Evidence Trump didn't = 8 named people who were there, including an anti-Trump fired adviser. Additional weaker evidence he didn't = Dozens of current and previous named staff who testify this claim is completely out of character.

Who fuckin cares what this guy thinks!

I love Tom Hanks so much

Sully should apologize to the president. It was nothing but a hit piece

God help us. ABC NBCNews CBSNews cnn msnbc ProjectLincoln ananavarro SpeakerPelosi JoeBiden mmpadellan BarackObama funder DanRather sunny TheView JoyVBehar colbertlateshow Lawrence TheKingCenter BerniceKing OfficialMLK3

More Republicans for Biden are emerging each day. If downplaying COVID, sabotaging USPS,cutting extended unemployment, disrespecting military, Black shootings, praising vigilantes, unanswered Russian bounties isn’t enough,what is? 59 days until Nov. 3rd.

SO Sully is willing to believe a story written using 'anonymous sources' and the most salacious part of the story wasn't even confirmed? Nice.

Don't believe it Sully

God I hate the left

50/50 Trumps retaliates by saying he would've landed Flight 1549 at Teterboro.

Anonymous sources told me the co-pilot landed that plane so that must be the truth,right?

Looks like Sully has spent too much time with Tom Hanks. He should know better LocalPoliticsis seanhannity

You can't expect everyone to recognize fake news. It's okay, Sully.

Wow, now we listen to a guy that saved his own life. What a hero

Sully has never been a chicken. He stand up for his principles.

Sully spreading political propaganda is not a good look. You’d figure he was smarter than allowing himself to be used as a pawn on a political hit piece based on hearsay from people with an agenda. We call it TDS.

It’s a sad day in this country when people would rather believe Oprah drinks the blood of children then a reputable news source. Thank you Sully for bravely speaking out.

Wasted energy since he didn't say it. As usual just fake bullshit. The dems are in a panic Trump2020Landslide

Benito35ddDavis Imagine the worst scenario where all on board Capt Sully's aircraft had perished. Now imagine that happening every day for three and a half years. That's how many lives covid has taken in America. Still Trump shows no empathy. He just wants a shot by October so he can take credit

Thank you Sully

Sully should know better than to answer on a story with anonymous sources. Wouldn’t expect people already hate trump to question it either. This country is in big trouble when stupid shit like this gets any credit at all

Why the eff is this guy publically commenting on a questionable rumor? TDS?

🙄

He didnt say that, he was referring to a bet him and cohan had and cohan lot so Trump said i didnt bet on him again because i dont like loosers

Captsully BUT TRUMP NEVER SAID THAT, WOULD NEVER SAY THAT, NO ON THE RECORD WITNESNESSES EXIST & EVEN AmbJohnBolton SAID IT WAS FALSE

Look at trumpets attack another hero

Except he never did. fakenews

The media spreading more lies from unnamed sources who have agendas. Oh by the way how is a full commercial made by various parents within 8 hours of story breaking ? Planned attack... yep

Fake news

The lying being done to this president is pathetic. And the people falling for it are such as pathetic

Why do you continously push unfounded crap? The more you push, the larger, stronger and more solidified we become. Shame on SULLY for believing ANYTHING the media reports, after 4 years of Fake News. Looks like the Leftists are scared. AmericaWillBeRed

Why will highly Revered Captain Sully make a comment on concocted lies and propaganda from the democrats

Sully! You’re a hero! We ❤️u! TrumpIsATraitor VoteBidenHarris2020

Sonnyman321 Hands up if you’d trust your life on Sully’s judgement? 🤚 DumpTrump2020 CadetBoneSpurs BidenHarris2020

Trump has turned us all into losers!

Why don’t people actually look into what trump said before looking like idiots when commenting on it?

Everybody has a bad day sometime....misses what's really happening...even Sully

Thank you for stepping up and giving your voice for all of us that we so desperately need.

Who cares with Sully Sullenberger thinks about the POTUS! He’s not the be-all end-all hero of the world!

A report from the very left leaning Atlantic- just happens to appear now during the election campaign......

Why many Americans defend Trump's behavior? He has been a rude person since the beginning. It's all about him like with many other narcissists. What has he really done to make the US and the world a better place? In fact, nothing, nada.....

it seems like a long time ago, but didn't Bannon and other trump associates just get areasted for swindling gullible trump supporters out of 25milllion for the fake border wall? We tried to tell you then; you should be listening now. TRUMP IS A CON MAN, AND YOU'RE THE MARK!

Wow a boomer compromised by the deep state is made to throw Trump under the bus over fake news.

Really? I know these people don’t believe all this nonsense, they just want to bash Trump. They’re only making it worse for JoeBiden

Yawn 🥱

Now here is an American hero!

Uh like every 3rd guy in Boston is called Sully, you gotta be more specific my guy

Hay business boo hoo, show us video of trump saying this, and the DNC gets 1 To 5 hour brake.

realDonaldTrump Captsully JoeBiden Just wait & see. TRUMP can’t control himself. He will probably tweet something like: That Captain SULLY guy is are real loser. ........I like pilots who land on the runway.

Lmao now they’re bringing out the big guns, sully! and will still lose

Sully should check his sources if he actually did that !

I would expect nothing less from a gentlemen who respects the sacrifices of brave soldiers who died in a terrible and important war.

That a way Sully.

Sully has to be smarter than this.

And notice the Media made sure this negative news made front page headlines because the Media is so Independent and Not Biased at all, right? Wrong. Media does Not report the news. Media reports the “Narrative.” Trump denied the allegations.

SethAbramson Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they've always made me glad. Malcolm X

SethAbramson Once you lose Sully...

ClaudiaChopra Just proves maybe he checks his gears and instruments far better than his news. Trump didn’t say that shit. But it’s news for activist news papers. So there’s that.

What amazes me is the number of people who believe this story. If it had been reported Reagan or either Bush had said such a thing, most of us would be skeptical. But we believe it of trump because we know the kind of person he is.

Trump 2020 keeping me safe .

Literally who cares. You landed one plane in water and got a movie deal out of it

Why do people as intelligent as Sully believe claims without proof? Notice how it is story after story by the media when it comes to Trump. Two days ago the media reported that Trump had mini-strokes. Turns out false & died out. Today it’s the Atlantic piece. FoxNews CNN

President “Bone Spurs” sticks his bony foot in his mouth yet again.

Trump has never said anything bad about the military. Look up real facts fron reliable news sources. The thing over in Europe with the military it was raining and foggy out and the secret service said it was way too risky to fly down and trump wanted to go but was not allowed to

Yawn

🤮🤮🤮

Well when it comes down to it I am always going with Sully.

Except it didn't happen. It's a damn lie and anyone repeating it is a liar or a fool.

Will have to apologize later.

Trump's world is caving in on him and the whole world sees it.

Dis fools only famous cause he did a barrleroll wit hella guys on tha plane

Ugh. You bumbling haters are relentless. Seek help. There is happiness to be found if you seek it.

Well now we know he doesn't get facts first just believes the liars to fit an agenda. Geez is tgere anyone out there that thinks fir themselves

SethAbramson .PFTompkins even so, he's no bus pilot...

Sully a hero twice lol

He’s a weak minded person to believe dirty political smear campaigns

Awesome, a white man not afraid of trump and not afraid of the truth. Praise the Lord. If only there was a multitude more like him. Thank you brave SIR for your courage. Our COUNTRY and DEMOCRACY is drowning.

You’re drudging up Sully, ffs? Man, without Harvey Rapist Weinstein, you guys are a mess. 😂😂

Why do his political views matter? Why does anyone care what sullys political views are?

No one cares, Silly Sully

Imagine being influenced by a 60’s liberal Democrat who was famous once for brace flying.

I can’t wait for the Trump cult to tell us how Sully is overrated, he was a terrible pilot and the movie was overrated.

This shouldnt be news. It didnt happen. It's fake news. MSM is disgusting.

ps9714 Sully landed the plane on Trump's head. Well deserved too.

SethAbramson I'd love to see every vet who is able to sign up to be a poll worker to counter the thugs that ComradeBenedictTrump has enlisted.

SethAbramson Trump: I like pilots that don't hit birds. Bad guy. If planes were supposed to swim they'd have snorkels. Everyone's been telling me, sir, with tears in their eyes, what was I talking about

Well, joke's on Sully cuz Trump only likes pilots that land on runways.

Fake news

Trump’s instability! You don't have any person who is nice from the beginning until the end. You don't always have a clear notion of redemption.The bad people don't always pay. But now, Trump has conned way too long, he needs to be exposed&move along VoteByMail CountryOverParty

It’s a fake story based on anonymous sources. Zero credibility. This is all about disinformation.

Another deep state pos

Come on Sully it was a lie. I have an anonymous source that told me he saw Adam Schiff banging a goat while his jack Russell watched. Must be true huh

Welcome to the party, pal!!

He was dooped by Fakenews

Sully he didn’t. There are numerous people that were with him that said POTUS never said such things. Furthermore the Atlantic only has anonymous sources.

Come on Sully- it’s a damn lie!

It’s difficult to believe Sully fell for the Losers Hoax.

Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Incredibly fake news.

Those internals and focus groups must look really fucked.
