Trump CALLED OUT by US Troops for WAR COVER-UP!!
Donald Trump is blocking. catastrophically injured soldiers from. the war in Iran from getting the medical. attention that they need here in the. United States as part of a broader. cover-up of the serious injuries that. have taken place in this war in Iran. The Trump regime has been saying that. 90% of the injured service members, which total they claim around 500, have. very minor injuries, are not seriously.
injured, and are able to return to. combat if necessary. This has been. proven to be a lie. First off, I think. we all know that the Trump regime is. likely understating the amount of. service member injured by multiples. Remember back in 2020 when Iran. retaliated against Donald Trump's. assassination of General Soleimani. Remember the Trump regime first claimed. that there was 11 people that were. injured in Iran's retaliatory strikes, but they were non-serious, just some.
headaches. Remember it turned out that. it was 10 times that amount. It was over. 100 soldiers at a base in Iraq who all. suffered very serious traumatic brain. injuries. So, if you take the current. number that the Trump regime is claiming. of non-seriously injured soldiers from. the current catastrophic war in Iran, which they claim to be 400 to 500, I. would just multiply that by 10, and I. think that's probably a low estimate of.
the true amount of people who were. actually injured. But CBS did this story. where they spoke with some of these. catastrophically wounded soldiers who. were being deprived of medical. attention, and this includes some of. those soldiers who were at the base in. Kuwait, the trailer that was not being. protected by the Trump regime, which was. hit by an Iranian drone where six. service members died that we know about. And these catastrophically injured. service members who had shrapnel wounds,
who barely survived, and clearly have. traumatic brain injuries, they say and. their wives say that they're not even. being allowed to have TBI traumatic. brain injury tests because the Trump. regime is classifying them as. non-seriously injured. They can't get. access to medical service and they're. basically being told that they need to. return to being back on duty. I mean, it. is absolutely outrageous. I want to. share with you this CBS exclusive, but.
then I want to remind you of what the. Trump regime has previously done in. covering up these types of injuries. before, including during the first Trump. administration. So, here's the scoop. Wounded soldiers and families accuse the. Army of downplaying war injuries, and it. said how Pete Hegseth, the defense. secretary, claimed that there were only. 400 injured American service members in. the catastrophic war in Iran, but that. they were non-serious injuries, they.
were minor injuries. But now a lot of. those soldiers and their spouses are. going public because they're not getting. the medical attention that they need. For example, Chief Warrant Officer. Rodney Bermann's body was riddled with. shrapnel after the Iranian drone hit the. workstation, which is basically a. trailer that was left unprotected by the. Trump regime. The Iranian drone hit it. on March 1st, killed six people, six.
service members, and the injuries to. Bermann included a massive concussion, hearing loss, vision loss, serious. damage to his lungs. As a former litigator having handled, you know, car accident cases, this is a. quintessential example of what would be. a traumatic brain injury, which is. permanent and disabling, but the army. classified Bearman's condition as not.
seriously injured, and now he's not able. to get certain surgeries and procedures. and evaluations. He wasn't transported to the right. places for treatment, which probably was. medical malpractice and compounded his. injuries and the permanent status of his. injuries. His wife says it's completely. unacceptable, and CBS and other news. outlets are reporting that there are. dozens and dozens of other people who.
are saying the same thing has happened. Another story they highlight is Sergeant. First Class Corey Hicks. I'll pull up a. photo of Corey Hicks and his wife right. there. 37 years old, severe shrapnel. wounds from the. drone blast. Um he suffered um serious injuries, but. according to the Trump regime's medical. reports, this was just a minor jaw. injury. He needs to be returned to duty. immediately. These are uh non-serious.
injuries, and Hicks says, "I They're not. even letting me get tested for a. traumatic brain injury. They've done no. neuro exams." Let me repeat that. Hicks. is saying no neuro exams, and now the. army spokespeople are slamming the. service members and calling them liars. and saying the army pushed back and said. that these people are not seriously. injured, that the care and well-being of.
our soldiers are our highest priority, and any assertion by these service. members that they're not getting the. best care, the Trump regime says is an. utter utter lie. Um and then the spouses. of these service members basically said, "Uh uh around them. Like we know that. they have traumatic brain injury and. they're not able uh to function, but the. Trump regime says, 'Nope, not seriously. injured. You don't get to get the. treatment uh here at uh Walter Reed or. at our facilities. We won't even do.
neuro tests on you.'" So, let me just. remind you though right now. Well, um first, let's go back to 2020, uh the initial. cover-up. Trump kills Soleimani, remember the. Iranian general. Uh Iran retaliates, and then the Trump. regime covered up in 2020 that when Iran. retaliated and hit a base where there. was 100 US soldiers, uh. hundreds of soldiers had traumatic brain. injuries. The Trump regime said minor.
headaches. This is what Donald Trump. said after uh the retaliatory strikes by. Iran. This is from 2020. Here, I'll play. this clip. >> were actually injured uh in the. retaliatory strike that that Iran uh put. forward a couple of weeks ago. Listen to. his response. >> I heard that they had headaches and a. couple of other things, but I would say. uh and I can report it is not very. serious. >> So, you don't consider potential. traumatic brain injury serious?
>> Uh they told me about it numerous days. later. You have to have to ask. Department of Defense. No, I don't. consider them very serious injuries. relative to other injuries that I've. seen. Then in 2024, uh during the campaign, Donald Trump. continued to say that the troops had. minor headaches, and it was no big deal, and anyone who said that the troops were. hurt is a liar. Play this clip. >> Do you believe that you should have been. tougher uh on Iran after they had.
launched ballistic missiles in 2020. uh on US forces in Iraq leaving more. than 100 uh US soldiers injured? >> So, first of all, injured. What does. injured mean? Injured means you mean. because they had a headache, because the. bombs never hit the fort. >> Now, remind you that Governor Walls. during the debate with J.D. Vance. pointed this out as well, but J.D. Vance. said it was a lie. Watch how prescient. Governor Walls is here though in calling. this out here. Let's play this clip.
>> Thank you, Senator. Governor Walls, do. you care to respond to any of the. allegations? >> Well, look, Donald Trump was in office. We'll sometimes hear a revisionist. history, but when Donald Trump was in. office, it was Donald Trump who we had a. coalition of nations that had boxed. Iran's nuclear program in, the inability. to advance it. Donald Trump pulled that. program and put nothing else in its. place. So, Iran is closer to a nuclear. weapon than they were before because of. Donald Trump's fickle leadership. And. when Iran shot down an American aircraft.
in international airspace, Donald Trump tweeted because that's the. standard diplomacy of Donald Trump. And. when Iranian missiles did fall near US. troops and they received traumatic brain. injuries, Donald Trump wrote it off as. headaches. Look, our allies understand that Donald. Trump is fickle. He will go to whoever. has the most flattery or where it makes. sense to him. Steady leadership like you. witnessed today, like you witnessed in. April, both Iranian attacks were.
repelled. Our coalition is strong and we. need the steady leadership that Kamala. Harris is providing. >> Now, I'll remind you what Pete Hegseth. had to say. during the war where he said. 90% or more are very minor injuries. No. one's really seriously injured. Here's. what Hegseth said this time around in. this catastrophic war. And he said, you. know, they're all being able to report. back to duty. There's no big deal. Here,
play this clip. >> Yeah, right there. Green jacket. Mike Brest with the Washington Examiner. How many American casualties have there. been and where were the American service. members when they were injured? >> Um. Uh I mean it's a bunch of return to. duty. So, we've had a whole the large. large majority have gone in for some. medical treatment and returned to duty. We've had in Kuwait, Jordan, uh down across the southern flank a.
little bit, a variety of places. Most. from one-way attack strikes. >> Well, I want to clarify that I think. what we've tried to do here is to. >> yeah, some of that. >> is clarify those numbers rather than. saying. >> Yeah. >> KIA or WIA wounded, be more clear about. that because the overwhelming majority. almost 90% thank god. >> Yeah. >> um are returned to duty. Minor minor. injuries returned to duty and so that. number can can look a certain way and. our job is to get that some fidelity to. it. >> And here's Donald Trump downplaying uh. the casualties in the war. Let's play.
this clip. >> Like an Anaconda, you slowly squeeze. you'll talk to them but you're slowly. squeezing them to death. Uh and. >> it down. Hey, I I've sort of like I mean. I'd like to get a deal now less than. three or four weeks ago because you. know, once you do this it's I just you. can just go a step further. But I don't know that America has the. appetite to do what I would really much. prefer doing. You remember in Iraq I. said don't go in but they went in. They. made a big mistake. It should have never.
let you know, that war lasted 10 years. killed tens of thousands of people, millions of people on both sides, millions of people. Nobody ever reported. that. >> And just so you can see Sergeant Hicks. for yourself, here he is with his wife. and you can see the condition that he's. in. I mean, this guy is clearly. suffering from major major catastrophic. injuries, a catastrophic TBI and the. fact that he can't even get a neuro exam. right now is outrageous. Here, let's.
play this clip of him. >> in a like a. a buzzy noise like a. uh. louder and louder like really quickly. I. remember turning my head to the left and. I seen the nose of that drone. pop through and as soon as it did I knew. what it was. It was either a missile or. a. drone so I. turned to my right and that's when it. blew up and just blew the whole building. apart. >> Hicks is now recovering from severe. shrapnel injuries at Walter Reed in.
Maryland. >> Yeah, and he reported that he can't get. neuro exams. They're not testing him for. They're not even testing him right now. This is what Donald Trump has turned the. VA into. It's absolutely. outrageous. Now, you'll also note that. when Donald Trump visited Walter Reed. for his own suspicious physical which. apparently he saw 22 specialists, he. refused as you know to meet with any of. the injured troops from the catastrophic.
war in Iran. He refused to meet with. them and because he didn't want to be. photographed with any of them because. he's downplaying the injuries and he. doesn't want anybody. you know, he doesn't [clears throat]. want anybody to. be seen or be seen as being injured. around him because he knows and probably. knows that there is way more than 500. people who have been catastrophically. injured. Again, my own estimate is that. it's probably in the thousands of. catastrophically injured and I think. that the death toll is probably more. than that.
I've heard 13, 14. I think the death toll significantly. more than that in the US. I mean you. know, because Trump always covers this. stuff up. But when you talk about the death toll. in general, I mean you're talking about. 6,000 Iranians, close to 4,000 Lebanese. We're talking about innocent mostly. innocent civilians, mothers, children, civilians getting uh you know, getting. getting killed. And I'll just remind you.
that Donald Trump has previously said to. Miriam Adelson, who's basically the big. funder of. who's given Donald Trump hundreds of. millions of dollars to move the United. States Embassy to Jerusalem and to. um you know, to pursue some of the. policies that got us involved in this. catastrophic and unlawful war in the. first place with Netanyahu, Donald Trump. said that giving the uh Presidential. Medal of Honor is a much bigger prize. than the Congressional Medal of Honor. because uh for Donald Trump, you know,
when soldiers are really injured and or. they die, he goes, "I'd rather just be a. civilian." That it seems like a much. better award to get. Remember he said. this. So disgusting. Here, play this. clip. >> I have to say, Miriam, uh I watched. Sheldon sitting so proud in the White. House when we gave Miriam the. Presidential Medal of Freedom. That's. the highest award you can get as a. civilian. It's the equivalent of the. Congressional Medal of Honor, but. civilian version. It's actually much.
better because. everyone gets the Congressional Medal of. Honor. That's soldiers. They're either in very bad shape because. they've been hit so many times by. bullets or they're dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman. It's right. >> [applause]. >> And they're rated equal. >> Well, there you have it, folks. Let me. know what you think.
