- CNN Fact-Checker Torpedoes Trump Over Gaffes and Whoppers at Cabinet Meeting
CNN senior reporter Daniel Dale called President Donald Trump out over multiple gaffes and whoppers from his most recent Cabinet meeting, including “mixing up” two wars that he claimed weren’t wars — then later called wars. The president held a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday that featured the familiar elements that the public has come to expect from such events, including round-robin remarks from Trump officials, lengthy digressions and interjections from Trump, and a Q&A with the MAGA-fied press pool. Dale dropped a fact check on Wednesday night that zeroed in on a raft of false claims, as well as a moment in which Trump got his wars “mixed up.” During his remarks, Trump revived his insistence that he doesn’t call the Iran War a “war” — then confused the “conflict” with his operation in Venezuela: The stock market has set 68 all-time record highs since the election. So, 68 days, we hit all-time highs. We’re right there now. And the average 401k, and that’s despite the conflict. I don’t go to war, I go to conflict. Despite the conflict with Venezuela, who no longer has a Navy, no longer has an Air Force, no longer has a lot of people that were leading the country into very bad places, their leadership is gone. Their second-run leadership is gone, and we’re dealing with their third — half of their third, because half of their third is gone, too. But later in the same meeting, Trump referred to both of those conflicts as “two big wars”: REPORTER: Is there a time frame in your mind? TRUMP: I mean, it happens quickly. The problem is, every time I mention a timeframe — for instance, I see — you know, we’ve been doing this for a few months. Vietnam lasted 19 years. Korea lasted eight years. Afghanistan lasted many years. They were all many, many years, and we’re into it for a few months. And I read about people like you. “What’s taking so long?” But we’re in it. You know, we lost between two wars, two big wars, Venezuela and Iran. We lost 13 souls, 13 great people. Met the parents. Great people. And it’s a terrible thing. Dale singled out both of those moments in a fact check that he said was “not intended as a comprehensive list,” and added that “CNN is still looking into some of the president’s remarks… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - Trump’s Trip to Walter Reed Did Not Include a Visit to 14 Service Members Inju...
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump visited with some U.S. service members during his latest trip to Walter Reed Medical Center, but reportedly did not stop to see any of the 14 troops recently injured in the Iran war. Trump traveled to Walter Reed for a six-month checkup on Tuesday, and the White House said he was “honored to meet with our amazing service members and medical staff” while there. However, CBS News spoke with the family of one soldier recovering from injuries sustained during the Iran war, and another military official “familiar” with Trump’s visit, who said the president bypassed the recently injured. Although it’s customary for American presidents to visit with soldiers wounded in battle, a White House spokesperson “declined to provide any guidance on why the president did not meet with soldiers wounded in the Iran war,” the report said. CBS News mentioned Trump’s past discomfort with injured soldiers: Mr. Trump has previously faced scrutiny for his descriptions of wounded service members. During his first term, he said the soldiers injured in a 2020 Iranian airstrike on an American base in Iraq weren’t worth mentioning because they had suffered “headaches,” which he described as “not very serious.” A CBS News investigation later found dozens of soldiers who had suffered brain injuries were denied the Purple Heart as part of an effort to downplay their wounds and avoid undercutting Mr. Trump. One later took his own life. Those currently convalescing at Walter Reed include Sergeant Cory Hicks, who was stationed in Kuwait when a drone attack at the start of the war killed six American soldiers and injured more than 20. CBS News reported that Hicks suffered “a lacerated kidney, a severed spleen and a traumatic brain injury.” “I lost six of my battle buddies who were sitting pretty close to me and that’s a struggle within itself,” Hicks said in an April interview. “The invisible wounds are hard to heal. A lot of them were further away from the blast than I was, so when you go through something like that, you go through a lot of guilt.” Trump attended the dignified transfers of those killed in Kuwait, as well as those killed during a refueling mission. Trump has often spoken of the 13 service members killed in the Iran campaign. During his Memorial Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, Trump called the soldiers who died “wonderful… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
