Donald Trump intentionally and maliciously insulting 14 of our bravest service members recovering in Walter Reed from the injuries they sustained in connection with Donald Trump's unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran.
There are 14
soldiers who have serious injuries as a result of Trump's catastrophic war who are recovering at Walter Reed.
When Donald Trump was at Walter Reed this week for his physical exam, which he has covered up the true extent of it,
He visited some service members at Walter Reed, but when he was specifically asked if he was going to be meeting with the service members injured in his catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran, Donald Trump very specifically
intentionally and maliciously did not want to meet with them because Donald Trump wants to downplay the casualties.
He wants to downplay the consequences of his unlawful war, and he did not want that photo op
with our injured service members.
So he ignored them and blocked them from meeting him.
I want to talk about that, but I also want to remind you that this is the same exact thing that Donald Trump did back in 2020.
People forget this story, but it's important that we resurface it right now because remember in 2020 when Donald Trump killed the Iranian General Soleimani, remember that?
What Donald Trump covered up was the fact that Iran then launched a retaliatory strike in Iraq
where our service members were stationed and there were a ton of our service members who were very seriously injured with traumatic brain injuries and donald trump covered this up and he said ah you know they just had headaches it's not a big deal they weren't really injured
In light of all we know now about how Donald Trump has covered up the catastrophic consequences of this unlawful war in Iran, I want to resurface the clip in 2020.
This is after Donald Trump kills the Iranian General Soleimani.
Iran retaliates by hitting an American base in Iraq.
Our service members are seriously and catastrophically injured, and Trump covered it up back then.
Here's what he said.
Let's play this clip.
uh i consider them to be really bad injuries no i do not consider that to be bad injuries no not only that but then in 2024 during donald trump's campaign for office when he was asked about what really occurred in 2020 where about a hundred troops
