For Trump, Even 13 Dead US Soldiers Are About Trump π±
“Only 13.” Trump bragged about losing American troops in the Iran warβand said he gets “a kick” out of it. Tonight, Joe Walsh and Cliff Schecter say what every cable host won’t.
πΈ Tequila Talk with Joe Walsh and Cliff Schecter β LIVE tonight at 6 PM ET.
Standing on a tarmac, talking to Fox News, the President of the United States looked into a camera and admitted he gets a thrill out of America losing “only” 13 service members in the war he started with Iran. Not grief. Not gravity. A kick. The same week, he keeps repeating the number as if it’s a sales figureβas if 13 flag-draped coffins are an achievement, the Iranian civilian dead don’t count, and the families back home are just background for his applause line.
Tonight on Tequila Talk, two voices who have been right about this man for a decade pour a drink and pull no punches.
πΉ The “I get a kick” quote β what Trump actually said and why it’s the most revealing moment of the year
πΉ The “only 13” math β what Trump’s body-count framing tells us about how he sees the people who serve
πΉ The 3,000-plus Iranian dead the American press still isn’t counting
πΉ Joe Walsh on why the Republicans who knew better are silent β and what it would take to break the spell
πΉ The political class’s missing outrage and the cable hosts looking the other way
πΉ Your questions, live in the chat
This is the conversation the Sunday shows won’t have. Pull up a chair. Bring a drink.
