Trump said 'it's fine' when Iran warned him it was bombing US military base
https://www.rawstory.com/nato-trump-its-fine-iran/“It's vital this additional money be spent on various areas of military hardware, not bureaucracy,” Trump said. “And hopefully the hardware is going to be made in America because with the best hardware in the world.”
He then went on to boast about how great U.S. military weapons are. “You saw that, working vessels were shot at us the other day, and [Iran was] very nice. They said, 'We were going to shoot them at 1:00, okay?'”
“I said ‘it's fine,’” Trump remarked of the bombing.
He added, “Everybody was evacuated off the base so they could get hurt except for the gunners. they call them the gunners, and out of 14 high in the missiles that we shot at the base in Qatar, all 14 as you know, were shut down by our equipment. Amazing stuff. Amazing that they could do, like shooting a bullet with a bullet. It's the same thing if you think about it.”
