Trump Gets A Kick Out Of Dead SoldiersAdded:
Donald Trump with a heartfelt pre-memorial day message. Uh here he is the president of the United States who served in the milit Oh, no, I'm sorry.
He went to prep school.
Uh and also um I think he said that like his time during Studio 54 when uh when there was a lot of venerial disease was like his Vietnam.
>> Yeah. His own personal Vietnam. Yeah.
All right. Here he is.
>> He lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in these various wars. 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, uh people don't like it when you say, "Oh, do you know you've lost 13?" We lost in two major wars. We took over Venezuela. We essentially took over Iran. And we've lost so far 13 people.
Some other some somebody else would have lost a 100,000 people.
But I get a kick when I look at somebody on television. He's lost 13 people. I lost 13 people. They lost 13 people leaving an airport.
uh gets a kick out of that.
>> You really you really get the sense of how deeply he's hurt by the uh you know 13 is is too many.
>> But it's also really not that much.
>> Also call them major wars. They're you're not even supposed to say they're wars at all.
>> Exactly. Then I mean this is just it's absurd. Um but it really is. First off, I'm not even sure I believe 13 is the number quite frankly. But even if we were um just I mean can you imagine one of these families at least we sent our uh son to die in this war. Oh, I guess it wasn't terribly relevant.
>> He got hit by a drone in Kuwait sitting in a you know operation center and now all of a sudden it's like h but you know I get a kick out of it. Another president would have lost a 100,000 during this.
>> A lot of families say like, "Oh, it's Oh, but I mean, honestly, it's just a couple." It's sort of fun to watch him.
Bakers do it.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I get a kick. I get a kick out of it.
