‘I’m willing to live with it’: Donald Trump pressed on Iran school massacre, shrugs, says it doesn’t bother him

Trump's not letting a little thing like killing an entire school get him down.

In the opening salvo of Trump and Netanyahu’s war with Irana girl’s elementary school was obliterated. 180 people died horribly, the vast majority of them little girls between the ages of seven and twelve.

MAGA rushed to insist that, actually, the Iranians had bombed their own school. This was an outright lie, as proven by their instantly debunked “evidence” being a photo taken 800 miles from the school and a fabricated screenshot of the Iranian state accepting responsibility.

Now, with footage of the area’s bombardment clearly showing a Tomahawk missile and US investigators saying it’s “likely” the US was responsible, it seems increasingly apparent that Donald Trump has these schoolgirls’ blood on his hands.

That US missile could have been fired by anyone!

Now he’s in denial mode, arguing that anyone could have fired that American Tomahawk missile. And hey, even if it is proven to be Trump’s troops who massacred an elementary school? Eh, can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, right?

A (rather brave) reporter pointed out to Trump directly that his claim that “Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war” is ridiculous, saying “you’re the only person in your government saying this, even your Defense Secretary wouldn’t say that”. Trump replied:

I just don’t know enough about it. I think it’s something I was told is under investigation. But Tomahawks are used by others… as you know. Numerous other nations have Tomahawks. They buy ’em from us. But I will certainly, whatever the report shows, I’m willing to live with it.”

Alrighty then. There are only five nations that operate or use Tomahawk missiles (which are subject to extremely strict export controls), so let’s run down the list and see who else could be the culprit. Japan – not involved in this war. Australia – not involved in this war. The Netherlands – not involved in this war. The United Kingdom – not involved in this war. The United States – um, well, yeah.

But, as Trump points out, even if it were proven to be America who’s responsible for exploding a building full of innocent children, he’s “willing to live with it”. In a way, this is refreshing honesty from Trump. A normal person might be lost in soul-destroying internal torment after having the deaths of hundreds of children on their conscience.

Fortunately for Trump, he doesn’t have a conscience or any sense of empathy, so as far as he’s concerned, just stack up the child corpses and let them burn.
