Trump: U.S. service members hurt in Iran attack had "headaches"

[yortsed snacilbuper]

"I heard that they had headaches and a couple of other things, but I would say that, and I can report, it is not very serious," said Mr. Trump.

Jiang pressed Mr. Trump further, asking, "You don't consider a traumatic brain injury serious?"

"They told me about it numerous days later. You would have to ask the Department of Defense," Mr. Trump said. "No, I don't consider them very serious injuries, relative to other injuries that I've seen. I've seen what Iran has done with their roadside bombs to our troops, I've seen people with no legs and with no arms, I've seen people that were horribly, horribly injured, and that area, that war, in fact, [in] many cases, put those bombs, out there by Soleimani, who is no longer with us. I consider them to be really bad injuries. No, I do not consider that to be bad injuries, no."

1. A real president would say "there are no good injuries."

“We take all injuries seriously, no matter their severity.”

4. How do you explain pain and suffering of bone spurs, Don.

They were deadly serious to you when you used them, bought and paid for to keep you from serving,

Mr. Trump said. "No, I don't consider them very serious injuries, relative to other injuries that I've seen. I've seen what Iran has done with their roadside bombs to our troops, I've seen people with no legs and with no arms, I've seen people that were horribly, horribly injured, and that area, that war, in fact, [in] many cases, put those bombs, out there by Soleimani, who is no longer with us. I consider them to be really bad injuries. No, I do not consider that to be bad injuries, no."

8. He's a horror.

He doesn't know that tbi is an end game for many soldiers.

10. if Trump doesn't consider TBI's a serious injury, then . . .

he's talking out of his ass in total ignorance. I've seen traumatic brain injuries, up close and personal.

The man's an idiot!

11. If he can't "see" the injury, it must not be real.

More minimalizing of others' pain, more narcissism at work.
