Speaking on the Hugh Hewitt show Wednesday morning, Trump was asked about the recent skirmish between Israel and Iran. Trump speculated that Israel and Iran “had a little side thing” and was it was all about sending a “signal.” On the skirmish, Trump remarked that “everyone was happy” and “it wasn’t so bad.”
Trump based this on when he hit Iran, he claims they communicated they would retaliate with a show of force, but not directly target a U.S. Military base and pledged they were “not going to hurt anybody.”
In reality, Iran attacked US military personnel on both January 8th and March 12th, 2020. At the time, Trump downplayed the 100 January 8th injuries as “headaches.” As a result of Iran’s March 12th attack, 3 US-led coalition service members died.
Trump asked if Hewitt was aware of that base. Hewitt excitedly answered that his “son was on that base at that time.”
Trump then directed Hewitt:
“Ok, good. Well say, well then tell him to thank me for his life, ok? You’ll thank me for his life.”
