Trump tells a group of CHILDREN "You might be too young for this" before he launches into an "unhinged war rant"

Trump Goes on Unhinged War Rant to a Group of Young Kids

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-goes-on-unhinged-war-rant-to-a-group-of-young-kids/

Trump, 79, was supposed to be signing a proclamation on youth sports and fitness, but he went off script to rant about the war, immigration and the Democrats.

“I call it a skirmish because Iran has no chance. They never did. They know it,” Trump said when he first brought up Iran.

“They have no Navy, totally wiped out. They have no air force, totally wiped out. They have no anti-aircraft capability, totally wiped out, no radar. They have no leaders. The leaders are wiped out, the whole thing,” Trump continued.

“We can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You might be too young for this,” Trump said, looking to the children, before continuing. “They probably know. They probably know better than most people, but you can’t let a bunch of lunatics have a nuclear weapon, or the world would be in trouble. The world would be in trouble.”

“Now we’re going to take a hit because we have to make a journey down to Iran to take the nuclear weapon. They would have had a nuclear weapon in, within two weeks,” Trump claimed. “Remember, we sent that beautiful B2 bomber in, and we blew up their nuclear potential. It was obliterated for those that are not aware.”
