AFGHANISTAN/GUNS: “Speaking in Austin, Texas, on Saturday [May 14, 2022], the former president took to the stage shortly after law enforcement officials said an 18-year-old white man opened fire on customers and employees, killing 10 at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
‘I think they had a tragic event in Buffalo, just as I’m coming on the stage, tragic event in Buffalo with numerous people being killed,’ Trump said… ‘In 18 months in Afghanistan, we lost nobody,’ the former president continued in an apparent non-sequitur…
Throughout the final 18 months of Trump’s presidency, a total of 22 US service members were reported dead in Afghanistan.”
