Trump Says Soldiers Maimed by Iran Are 'Walking Around Without Legs'🤦🏼‍♀️

President Donald Trump held a college sports roundtable at the White House, where reporters were eager to ask questions about another matter.

On Friday, the president hosted notable people from the worlds of sports and politics, including Tiger Woods, Nick Saban, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, to address the NCAA’s name, image, and likeness policies.

Not surprisingly, the reporters in the room had questions about Trump’s ongoing war with Iran, which began on Saturday when the U.S. and Israel carried out strikes in the country.

Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy tried to ask Trump about a report about Russia giving Iran intelligence about the U.S. military.

Trump then appeared to pivot to the Iraq war, where, according to the U.S. government, many American soldiers were wounded by roadside bombs with material provided by Iran.

“The situation with a very bad and very sick group of leaders, who were killing a lot of people,” he said. “A lot of our people were being killed. They were being maimed. They were being destroyed with their bombs all over the place, planted in roads, and we called them the roadside bombs. Walking around without legs, without arms, face blasted. Killed many, many people.”


Not that he sounds any less unhinged

“Somebody said, ‘How would you score it from 0 to 10?’ I said, ‘I’d give it a 12 to 15.’
