WTF!? Did Trump actually give permission for Iran to shoot at our base in Qatar? [View all]

"You saw that, where 14 missiles were shot at us the other day. And they were very nice. They gave us warning. They said, “We’re going to shoot them.”

“Is 1 o’clock OK? They said it’s fine.” And everybody was emptied off the base, so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners. They call them the gunners. And out of 14 high-end missiles that were shot at the base in Qatar, all 14, as you know, were shot down by our equipment. Amazing stuff, amazing what they can do."

As an AF Vet, I can't believe the clown would claim he did that. I'll chalk it up to him exaggerating out his ass again, but why isn't anyone mentioning how effed up that is?
