Let It Burn!

President Donald Trump was soundly criticized after exclaiming during a meeting with wounded soldiers at the White House that it was "pretty good" and "amazing" that they "got hit," prompting many to call out his disrespect for the troops.

While speaking on Thursday to a group of injured American veterans who were stationed at a "pretty tough area in the Arghandab River Valley" of Afghanistan, Trump—whose administration has already made significant cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs, said:


"So you guys got hit, huh? Pretty good. You got hit. Amazing."
After a woman with the group told Trump that over half of their unit had been awarded the Purple Heart for their service, Trump replied:


"You deserve it. You deserve that and more. We appreciate it so much. Really brave brilliant people. Thank you so much."
