Why was Donald Trump booed at the World Cup and how did his tarmac remarks escalate the controversy?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump had a disastrous landing back to Washington, D.C. after getting booed mercilessly in New Jersey for the World Cup final. I did a video on him getting booed yesterday on the tarmac. Donald Trump was asked, you said this catastrophic war in Iran was only going to last four to five weeks. I think he actually said early on it would only be a few days, but clearly we're now deep into five months of this. So what's going on here? And then Donald Trump's like, it's a much deeper job than we expected. So we're going to stop them from having capabilities and now we're just going to end it. Okay. What are you even talking about? And now the, uh, at least publicly reported casualty count is increasing.

How did Trump describe the Iran war timeline and why does the host call his claims ‘catastrophic’?

Ben Meiselas 0:44
We know at least three additional service members were killed in a strike to Jordan a few days back. i believe the numbers actually higher that there were dozens of troops injured the total injured since the war began publicly being reported somewhere around 450 to 500 injured i believe the numbers actually multiples of that and it's being covered up but here's what trump said on the tarmac let's play it
President Donald Trump 1:09
Well, you keep hitting me. This is a far bigger job that we're doing. We were doing a little job in stopping them from having a certain capability. Now we're just ending it. So it's really not the same thing. What we're doing now is we're ending any chance where they can have a nuclear missile. If you look at it, after a week and a half, not four weeks, a week and a half, two weeks, we stopped them from probably, but I don't want to have the word probably. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir.

Then Donald Trump goes back to saying Iran lost everything militarily. They've got nothing. They don't have missiles. They don't have helicopters. They're dead. They're begging for a deal when we know the opposite is true. This is just so utterly pathetic. Given everything we're seeing, Iran's precision capabilities in these ballistics and Shahids has been demonstrated every damn day. I'll do a video on this as well. We have whistleblowers in the military leaking out that America's running out of munitions, that America's not capable of sustaining this war. I wonder why Donald Trump bankrupted everything that he touched in his life. Here, play this clip.
President Donald Trump 2:22
Well, we feel very badly, but, you know, those great people, those great patriots who are out there fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Iran has been very, very badly damaged. They've lost everything, almost, militarily. They've got very little left. They've got some missiles. They've got some drones. They've got some manufacturing ability. Not much. We control the Strait.

What new casualty and munition reports raise questions about U.S. readiness in the Iran conflict?

President Donald Trump 2:48
They don't control anything. So we'll see what happens. But we hit them very hard again tonight. And we did that in honor of the probably three. It's probably three as opposed to two great patriots.

Then Donald Trump was asked, so what was it like when you were at the World Cup and Spain won? Obviously, you've been saying horrific things about Spain and Pedro Sanchez, the prime minister of Spain, the Spanish people, you've been attacking, the whole thing you did in NATO was attack Spain. So when you were face to face and you confronted their leadership and the people, you were at the World Cup, how did it go? Here, play this clip.
President Donald Trump 3:29
I did. I spoke to Spain and I congratulated them on having a great team. I spoke. I really spoke to a lot of people. No, I have no tension. I have no tension with anybody.
Ben Meiselas 3:45
It's also one of the things I say about Trump that just makes him so pathetic. You know, this keyboard warrior, you know, types of, eh, Spain this, Spain that. You know, he says these things to Mark Rutte, the Secretary General.
Unknown 3:58
They go, kick him out, Mark. Kick him out. I don't like Spain.
Ben Meiselas 4:01
then you go right in front of their face and you can't say it to their face. And again, think about the psychological, pathological profile of Donald Trump and how weak the Iranian leadership view him as. For Iran, this is like, wow, America's been threatening us for so long and now we've got this idiot who bankrupts everything, who's out there lying and defrauding the American people like crazy.
