Trump, speaking at a GOP fundraising dinner Friday evening, offered new details about the strike that killed Gen. Qasem Soleimani, which exacerbated tensions in the region and led to an ongoing dispute with Congress over his constitutional ability to wage war.
In his speech held inside the gilded ballroom on his Mar-a-Lago property he claimed that Soleimani was "saying bad things about our country" before the strike, which led to his decision to authorize his killing.
"How much of this shit do we have to listen to?" Trump asked. "How much are we going to listen to?"

(70,559 posts)Trump had a Saudi official and the Iraqi P.M. invite Soleimani to Baghdad so he could
help negotiate some kind of way to ease tensions and had him killed @ the airport.

BTW no doubt that Soleimani was a bad person but we started this shit by bombing
a pro Iranian faction (on Trump's orders) in Iraq.

(11,742 posts)I heard some of the audio from the speech. He was using that same fucking tell he always uses when he is lying. "Sir, they said, Sir, we have the target....Sir, he has two minutes to live..."
That guy is a disgusting piece of shit and so are the people who sat there and listened to him and his hardon for assassinating people.
