Weeks after a U.S. Navy SEAL was killed in a covert mission in Yemen, Trump has resisted accepting responsibility for authorizing the mission and the subsequent death of Senior Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens.
In an interview with Fox News that aired Tuesday morning, Trump said the mission “was started before I got here.”
He noted that the operation was something his generals “were looking at for a long time doing.”
“This was something that was, you know, just — they wanted to do,” Trump said. “ And they came to see me and they explained what they wanted to do, the generals, who are very respected.”
“And they lost Ryan,” Trump continued.
Owen is the first U.S. service member killed in the line of duty during Trump’s administration.
Isn’t this exactly what we have come to expect from Trump. Because he is the greatest, most successful, and He ALWAYS wins (in his own narcissistic mind) he can’t bear any responsibility for a bad decision or failure.
