You can’t possibly know what information was available at the time, therefore this whole notion about Trump lying is nothing but more of the same Trump bashing.
This is the problem with this President. Instead of saying that he was mistaken or was maybe just plain wrong about something he claims that he isn’t wrong and that their injuries aren’t bad.
I’ve seen footage of the devastation and they KNEW that there were soldiers that had not made it into safe bunkers. But maybe, yes, Trump* didn’t know immediately, we can’t know that because he’s a liar.
But now that the truth is out, him minimizing it as “headaches” and not as bad as arms and legs blown off, is shameful, pathetic, sick, weak, and disrespectful. Dishonorable.
Come on. we were told that nothing happened. They blew up sand, there was damage to out buildings on the base. we were led to believe that, for two weeks. It was argued on here by many of us that the attack was largely symbolic. Don’t give me that garbage There was no way to know. You know of a concussion within 24 to 48 hours if not immediately. Concussions are one thing…the President and the reports mention Traumatic Brain Injuries…which are vastly different and more severe than a concussion.
Like @Konssurvative1 I have personal experience with TBI. It has the potential to be devastating. It has the potential to be more life-altering than the loss of a limb. That it is being dismissed so flippantly by Trump* is truly disgusting.
Thanks Herron,
I think that people have an old school belief of Concussions and Head Injuries. Concussion from the point of view of sports injuries, shake it off and get back in there. My son had a concussion as I said and thank God that when he went to the campus med center the team doctor was there, recognized it for what it was, when the hospital missed it…and he was put into a two week concussion protocol.
TBI’s are a different story. We think of soldiers and people who have serious falls. Since my Dad’s accident I have made it my job to learn as much about brain injury as possible. I’m no doctor, but I have worked very closely with my Dads neurologists over the years.
I try to advocate for brain injury awareness as much as I can. OUr president needs some of that awareness. Concussions are not just a headache.
