Trump keeps downplaying the seriousness of injury serving in our armed forces. He just did it again. This cannot help his chance of success in any way at all.
"Former president Donald Trump has been called out by veterans after he again downplayed the traumatic brain injuries suffered by U.S troops in an Iranian missile strike on an airbase in Iraq in 2020.
At a campaign event in Milwaukee, Trump, the Republican nominee, was asked if he should have been tougher on Tehran after more than 100 soldiers were injured in a missile attack on the Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq in January 2020, when he was president."
"So first of all, injured. What does injured mean? Injured means, you mean because they had a headache? Because the bombs never hit the fort," Trump said."
