MAGA is once again in uproar over a late-night posting by President Donald Trump, who took to Truth Social to make a disgusting brag about the number of people.
The posts, which feature statistics from the Vietnam War, Korean War, the Iraq War, Afghanistan War, and both Trump-started Vietnam and Iran wars. Trump's posting rampage comes as the Pentagon has identified three U.S. servicemembers who were killed on Friday during an attack on a military base in Jordan.
Pvt. Isabella Gonzales was killed on Friday during an attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, and 1st Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan was also killed in action on Saturday. On Tuesday, the Pentagon announced that Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad was also believed to have been killed on Friday.
• Trump slammed for 'disgusting' act toward families of dead US soldiers in Iran war
• 'Desperate' Trump tells reporter 'you don't know anything' after being exposed
This brings the total number of Americans killed in the conflict to 18. The self-proclaimed president of peace captioned the post, "These are the real facts. REPORT THEM!"
Trump's own numbers almost align with those of the Department of Defense, which put the number of Americans who died during the war in Iraq at 4,432 as opposed to the president's 4,600. It was also stated by the department that 2,354 Americans died in Afghanistan over the course of two decades, as opposed to the 2,000 listed by President Trump.
The Tuesday evening post is an updated version of an earlier post with the same list of casualty numbers but no comparison to other presidents. "Afghanistan War: 20 years, 2,000 DEAD. Iraq War: 9 years, 4,600 DEAD. Vietnam War: 19 years and 5 months, 58,220 DEAD. Korean War: 3 years and 1 month, 36,574 DEAD. Venezuela War: 1 day, 0 DEAD. Iran Military Conflict: 4 months, 18 DEAD," he wrote.
Trump condemned
Trump's post drew swift condemnation from a former ally, who called it "stupid." Ex-MAGA devotee and Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed the post.
"Trump is bragging about killing 18 US soldiers," She wrote. "That's how I read this stupid post. The 'peace president' went to war and is killing and wounding our troops. GFY."
Gavin Newsom, the democratic governor of California and a thorn in Trump's side, also responded to the post, calling the president "disgusting." He wrote, "Donald Trump is a disgusting little man. Treat our brave American soldiers with some respect.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also reacted by claiming, "Bragging about ‘only’ 18 brave U.S. service members being killed in a reckless and illegal war he started is beneath contempt and a new low even for the likes of Donald Trump."
Last week, when he was asked about the deaths, he said that he felt "very bad." According to the president, "Well, we feel very badly, but, you know, those great people, those great patriots, are out there fighting that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon," he said.
"And Iran has been very, very badly damaged," Trump added. "They've lost everything, almost, militarily. They've got very little left."
"They've got some missiles, they've got some drones, they've got some manufacturing ability, not much," he added. "We control the Strait (of Hormuz). They don't control anything."
