Trump: "I get a kick when I look at somebody on television saying you've lost 13 soldiers" in the Iraq War [View all]
Trump on Wednesday confused his predecessors Joe Biden and Barack Obama while touting the purported successes of his ongoing war on Iran — and boasted that he has lost “only” 13 U.S. service members in the unpopular conflict.
The MAGA leader was on a tarmac while bragging about this number of deaths to Fox News.
“You lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in these various wars,” Trump said. “In two wars, Venezuela, where we lost nobody, and here — we lost 13 people. Now, 13 people is 13 too much, but we lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people.
“So, people don’t like it when you say, ‘Oh, do you know you’ve lost 13.’ We’ve lost, in two major wars — we took over Venezuela, we essentially took over Iran — and we’ve lost, so far, 13 people. Somebody else would’ve lost 100,000 people, OK?
“But I get a kick when I look at somebody on television [and they say], ’He’s lost 13 people. I lost 13 people. They lost 13 people leaving an airport. Obama. Thirteen very good people that I got to know their families.”
