VFW Demands Apology from Trump
for Downplaying Brain Injuries Suffered from Iranian Attack, CNN, Veronica Stracqualursi, January 2020
It is bad enough for trump to have evaded the draft multiple times giving heel spurs as a reason for doing so; but here we are and now, trump can tell us what is a serious injury and what is not. If he would just shut up, which will not happen, things might settle down. As it goes, anything to deflect and get the attention off of impeachment.
(CNN)President Donald Trump said he does not consider potential brain injuries to be as serious as physical combat wounds, downplaying the severity of US service members being treated for concussion symptoms from an Iranian attack as “headaches.”
During the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump was asked to explain the discrepancy between his previous comments that no US service member was harmed in the January 8 Iranian missile attack on Al-Asad airbase in Iraq, and the latest reports of US troops being treated for injuries sustained in that attack.
“No, I heard that they had headaches, and a couple of other things, but I would say, and I can report, it’s not very serious,” Trump replied during the news conference.
The reporter pressed, “So you don’t consider potential traumatic brain injury serious?”
An apology from Donald Trump is expected co-terminus with the first verified report of porcine aviation.
Just another sign of his mental instability. He is totally unable to take responsibility for any of his actions. The CIC places people in jeopardy. You can argue whether they were place correctly or incorrectly, but that doesn’t matter. The fact is the CIC is responsible for their injuries to some extant.
A mentally stable person would take responsibility for their injuries and would certainly never downplay them.
Trump is a seriously ill person.
now, why would Trump consider brain damage to be serious?
