Donald Trump once again showed his disdain for United States military personnel during a campaign event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Tuesday. When taking questions from reporters during the event, a journalist asked Trump if he thought Israel should retaliate against Iran’s Oct. 1 missile attacks against the nation.
The reporter also asked if Trump believed he should have been “tougher on Iran ” during his presidency “after they had launched ballistic missiles in 2020 on U.S. forces in Iraq,” which left “more than 100 U.
S. soldiers injured.” The Republican candidate bristled at the idea of taking accountability for the tragic event, and instead mocked U.
S. troops. “What does injured mean?” he retorted.
“Injured means, you mean, because they had a headache? Because the bombs never hit the fort.” Reporter: Do you believe you should’ve been tougher on Iran after they had launched ballistic missiles in 2020 on US forces leaving more than 100 soldiers injured? Trump: What does injured mean? You mean because they had a headache..

They had no money for Hamas. They had no money for Hezbollah. And when we hit them, they hit us.
And they called us, and they said ‘We’re going to shoot at your fort but we’re not going to hit it.’” The former president proceeded to insul.
