Apparently, the heartless clown who currently lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and is slowly destroying the White House with his moronic architectural ambitions, wants us to believe that since only 18 American servicemembers have died in his ill-conceived war with Iran, we should all be celebrating.
Over the weekend, three more members of the U.S. military died as a result of the Iran conflict.
Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, was killed in action on Friday during an attack on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, was killed in action on Saturday.
And on Tuesday, the Pentagon announced that Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, was killed in action on Friday. He had been missing in action since the weekend.
Criticism of the administration for the rising death toll despite no formal declaration of war led Donald Trump to go on social media and try to minimize the deaths his harebrained attacks his war has caused.

Is that supposed to make us feel better? It’s sure as hell not how you comfort the families of those who have already been killed for Donnie’s foolhardy attempt to look tough and distract (once again) from the Epstein files, which his DOJ has yet to release fully, in direct defiance of a law that Trump himself signed.
As MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle noted on her show this morning, Trump’s attempt to minimize his culpability was heartless, even for him.
“Yesterday he posted [this] as his defense for the war. He was comparing the death toll in Iran to other wars. You have it right there on your screen: Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Venezuela. Iran military conflict, four months, 18 dead.”
“He’s basically saying only 18 [dead], we should take that as a win.”
The Liar-in-Chief’s chart of military deaths also didn’t sit well with the majority of people who saw it online, and they let him know in no uncertain terms.
You are a disgrace. Hegseth said it's a war you phrase it as a conflict. 18 dead and I am willing to bet the count is higher. As for Venezuela it wasn't a war jackass you promised to pay money to his bodyguards for the intel and stiffed them from getting money. You can't BS your…

A war stated to protect pedophiles.
Heroes dying to cover for criminals.
Disgusting and disgraceful.
Trump is so proud of getting 18 Americans killed.

Kind of early for these comparisons isn’t it? Since it’s not your sons or daughters dying there, they’re just political pawns in his unconstitutional war. No war is wanted & his irrelevant data points can not justify the deaths and maiming of those children.

So he's bragging about the soldiers that we've lost in the Trump war?

This is sick, keeping track of deaths as a self serving bump sticker statistic is the epitome of malignant narcissism
