Trump just said that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are "defending Soilemani" and then a reporter ..

The thread goes on for a while.

Trump just said that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are “defending Soilemani” and then a reporter somehow asked a question that was *not* a demand that he provide an example of how they’re “defending Soilemani.”

Jesus Christ, this isn’t hard.

The reporter who botched that moment, and has now been immortalized by this tweet, will probably never know that they screwed up and were called on it.

Besides how can a General be a terrorist while working for his governemt? Was Truman a terrorist for ordering the bombing of Hiroshima? Better: Was Bush I a terrorist invading Panama. Whatever....

Was Putin a terrorist for ordering the bombing of Alleppo, then Syria's largest city? Uh oh, bad example.

Did the reporter or did he not ask for an example of how NP and Dems are “defending Soilemani.”? Did the reporter say it wasn't a demand? Did Trump answer in any form or fashion?

Why are we condemning the reporter for asking a question we'd all like an answer to?

Now, that is something a stupid, liar would say - it doesn't surprise me at all. All smart people in the world know Nancy Pelosi and know she would not defend Soilemani but she does respect other countries rights. DJT is a idiot and a disgrace to our country and none of us believe a word he says.
