President Donald Trump did not take kindly to being asked whether he believed bombing civilian power plants and bridges would constitute war crimes after he threatened to do just that in Iran.
The president, 80, was taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office when he was asked about his threat this week on Truth Social.
“You’re talking about blowing up civilian power plants and bridges. Much of the civilized world would consider that a war crime. Do you?” the reporter asked Trump point blank.
The president paused for a moment before deciding it was probably best not to answer the question at all, which had clearly annoyed him.
“Uhhh, I won’t respond to that question,” Trump said before demanding to know which outlet the reporter worked for.
“The New York Times,” the reporter responded.
“I figured so; the failing New York Times,” Trump said before turning away.
HE ordered the targeting of civilians (remember the girls school?) and civilian infrastructure. War criminals are held to account. If you don't wanna be a war criminal held to account, stop doing war crimes.
True but if all their journalists are either being banned from the whitehouse for asking difficult questions or are quitting in protest then they'll probably be doing a cost benefit analysis to determine what is going to effect them financially
I love it when they include this asshole’s age after his name. Just to draw attention to the fact that not only is he a raging unhinged narcissistic lunatic, but and old raging unhinged narcissistic lunatic.
Cornered? Bruh, he doesn’t care, at all. War crimes really only matter when there is accountability involved. The United States government and military will never acknowledge nor accept responsibility for the numerous war crimes it has committed, past or present.
Who reads these articles and responds “Yo they got him good! XD”.
Israel commits war crimes daily, and nothing happens. In other conflicts throughout the world, rape is used as a weapon of war, children are forced to carry AK’s. Let’s corner those leaders! We’ll show them!
Not only will they not, the US will use force to make sure about that. The only reason Trump isn't labeled a war criminal by the ICC is because he'd probably bomb the Netherlands directly after. Or Belgium, as if he cared or knew.
