Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York. Now, whether Donald Trump is, for some

reason, being kept out of the loop on some of the details of the war in Iran, or is just generally

out of touch with its details, or simply I'm willing to acknowledge the tragic consequences of

the war is anyone's guess. What we do know, though, is that his claims about the war in Iran

have in some instances become so far-fetched and absurd that reporters are able to knock them

down in seconds of questioning. More damaging, politically at least, to Trump, as the human cost of the

war grows with eight U.S. service members having lost their lives and more than 140 service

members now injured, Donald Trump's own base is not buying what he's selling. Case in point,

yesterday Donald Trump was asked about the bombing of an Iranian

girl school. 175 people were killed. Many of them were children. Multiple outlets report that the

United States is likely responsible for that strike. But Donald Trump claimed that Iran might have

used a missile created by the United States to strike their own school-aged

children. Take a listen to what New York Times reporter, Sean McRish, asked, and Donald Trump's

response.

Hey, Mr. President, you just suggested that Iran somehow got his hands on a Tomahawk and bombed

its own elementary school on the first day of the war, But you're the only person in your government saying this.

Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that when he was asked,

standing over your shoulder on your plane on Saturday.

Why are you the only person saying this?

Because I just don't know enough about it.

I think it's something that I was told is under investigation.

But tomahawks are used by others, as you know.
