President Donald Trump claimed during a Labor Day press conference at the White House that while he believes the average U.S. soldier loves him, he doubts top military officials in the Pentagon are fans of him because he doesn’t support endless war.

“I’m not saying the military’s in love with me,” Trump said from the North Portico of the White House. “The soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t because they want to do nothing but fight wars, so all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy.”
