Trump downplays soldiers’ injuries from Iranian attack as ‘headaches’

President Donald Trump said he does not consider potential brain injuries to be as serious as physical combat wounds, downplaying the severity of US service members being treated for concussion symptoms from an Iranian attack as "headaches."

CNN's Dana Bash asked Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) if he thinks Trump statement was concerning.

      You missspoke…..

      He was talking about you…..

      Best “head”…..

      Tremendous “head”……

  1. Trump bribed Ukraine when he asked them to provide him with a favour, in order to get their aid released.. Bribery is an impeachable offence.

    1. @Why do birds poop on the kaaba? Trump said it on camera too, also asked China to help him.. As did Guiliani.
      Yesterday it came out that Trump apparently told GERMANY, FRANCE AND ENGLAND, probably China too, that he would put trade samctions on their cars if they didn’t pull out of the Iran Deal..After 255 souls died because he needed a distraction to help him get realected.. are those the actions of an honest man? Absolutely not!!

    2. @Praeliora T Joe Biden admitted – for rolling cameras – to have committed bribery, black mailing and quid pro quo.
      He bragged about it even.
      If someone brags about robbing a bank and gives details too – then he must expect to be investigated.

    1. @Kevin K
      You’ve missed the point.
      Trump obtained FOUR student deferments and when that extraordinary length of study ended, he had a doctor certify a completely phony medical exemption.
      And I’ve never heard Biden or Sanders badmouth generals, veterans, POW’s or parents of dead soldiers like Trump has.

    2. I really wish Trump wouldn’t talk about injuries like that and in that way.  He just did damage to a LOT of service members who actually are suffering from diagnosed brain injuries.  What a disappointment when he runs his mouth like that.

    1. Trump will never admit he’s wrong. Once he says something he sticks to it whether it’s a lie or not doesn’t matter .MAGA, VOTE 💙2020 !😀

    2. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is suing Hillary Clinton for defamation over the former secretary of State’s remarks on a podcast characterizing the Democratic presidential candidate as a Russian asset.

      Gabbard filed the defamation lawsuit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Told you none of the media mainstream outlets cover crap like this.

  2. Scott: I’m gonna be as evasive af about combat veterans’ traumatic brain injuries so Trump doesn’t attack me.

    1. @cj p Dig up your dead democrat granny and ask her what she thinks of Trump? and keep your vermin problems to yourself.

    2. 😂 Believe us, we tried in the last election! So close. Come November, both senators are going to go through some things.

    1. Dude, you Dems was complaining about getting drafted a few weeks ago, I don’t think any of you have room to talk about Draft Dodging

    2. @Joy Phillips Um – it was featured earlier, loser. And, to be honest – those two could fall down a well and the world would be a better place…

  3. A real leader would have said, ” We are concerned about the injuries to our troops. They are receiving great medical care. This will continue until their head issues are healed.”
    Then we have Rick…OMG

    1. Dumbass, ‘TBI’ for deployed soldiers, is like you burning yourself on a hot bowl. I would bet whatever is in my pockets that you have had a TBI and never even knew it. Pull the propaganda hose out your throat.

    2. Da Nhl1 Since you are clearly so passionate about Black babies, I can share a link with you to donate to struggling black mothers. Are you interested?

    3. @Classy Lady We don’t care if black mothers starve…..

      If they’re willing to kill babies, why would you expect any different response ?…

  4. ” *I Heard* ” , ” *The Word Is* ” , ” *Others are saying* “, *People are saying* ” , ” *I don’t know him/her* ” , ” *I don’t know ask* ( *Name* )” , ” *The Word Is* ” , *ARE ALL LIES FROM TRUMP, END OF STORY* .

  5. “They told me…” is one of his classic ‘tells’ that indicates he’s blatantly lying. At least he’s always easy to catch in the act – can you imagine if he was actually any good at lying?! (Shudder.)

    1. I heard people saying that Hillary won the popular vote. Means nothing. She lost and you need to move on.

    2. CNN should be called TDS broadcasters.
      I just come to check on the the liberal hack bubble where many people are stuck since 2016 😂😂

    3. @bingbonga binga you’re the only person who mentioned the election. He’s the president. The world has accepted it. now we’re laughing at the fact that our president can’t tell a convincing lie or read the Constitution on camera. You should quit living in 2017 acting like people aren’t over the 2016 election. 😂😂

  6. “Senator, what is the color of a common apple?”
    Scott: “Probably, peanut butter is my favorite flavor.”

    1. Agreed! R Scott committed Medicaid medicare fraud in FL. He had 2 pay millions in fines. But somehow now he’s a corrupt senator working 4 Crooked Trump.

    2. He was involved in one of the biggest frauds in Florida history and Republican zombies still elected him, because socialism. What can you do when idiots vote against their own interests?

    3. “On the whole, however, it was accepted that money not only talked, but governed. All the industrialist had to get to be accepted among the governors of society was enough money.”
