Trump's mental collapse over the missing Air Force pilots in Iran was fear over his poll numbers, not over the pilots [View all]

Donald, after being told Air Force personnel were missing in Iran, had a freakout that got him excluded from an important briefing. He was't worried about the missing pilots. No, he only cared that a failed operation would hurt HIS POLL NUMBERS, as it had Jimmy Carter's. What a self-absorbed prick.
