President Donald Trump described Benjamin Netanyahu as a war hero and said he considered himself a war hero as well while defending Israeli leadership. Trump referenced U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and said, "You know, I sent those planes." Critics argued the term normally applies to veterans who served in combat and noted Trump never served in uniform. Netanyahu served in the Israel Defense Forces and fought in the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War, suffering multiple wounds including during a 1972 hostage rescue operation. Former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger called the claim "just nuts." Mark Levin publicly defended Trump, comparing presidents such as Reagan, FDR and Lincoln to war heroes.
YES, TRUMP IS A WAR HERO. Let me educate the truly stupid in the grotesquely moronic media and their crackpot surrogates, since President Trump made the war hero comments on my radio show last evening, began Levin in a post on X Wednesday morning. There are lots of presidents who are war heroes who did not actually fight in a war. Reagan defeated the Soviet Union. War hero. FDR defeated the Axis powers. War hero. Lincoln won the Civil War. War hero.
He's a war hero, cause we worked together, he's a war hero. I guess I am, too, submitted a chuckling Trump about the U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites earlier this year. Nobody cares, but I am, too. You know, I sent those planes.
This is just nuts. This is nuts, argued former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger on CNN Tuesday night. And they're going to find his people are going to find a way to justify this, he predicted.
