Trump: They’re on a ship, and they’ll be heading into New York. The helicopters took them out, and they went by helicopter in a nice flight. I’m sure they loved it. But they’ve killed a lot of people. Remember that. They killed a lot of people and even people in their own country. They killed a lot of people to maintain power. He’s a very vicious person.
Trump is expected to be joined by members of his administration and Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan “Raizin” Caine to deliver an address on the strikes at 11 am ET.
