Trump Shrugs Off U.S. Soldiers’ Traumatic Brain Injuries as ‘Headaches’
Donald Trump on Tuesday again downplayed dozens of U.S. soldiers getting traumatic brain injuries from Iranian airstrikes under his watch, telling a reporter dismissively that “they had headaches.”
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trump was asked about the January 2020 airstrikes near U.S. forces in Iraq, in light of how Iran launched a missile attack against Israel earlier Tuesday.
“Do you believe that you should have been tougher on Iran after they had launched ballistic missiles in 2020 in Iraq, leaving more than 100 U.S. soldiers injured?” the reporter asked, referencing Iran’s response to the U.S. drone killing of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
