Anyone got a link to video or audio of this?

Here's the best I could find- Trump's former Defense Secretary Mark Esper claimed in his book "A Sacred Oath" that Trump raised the idea of launching missiles into Mexico to combat drug cartels and proposed doing it covertly to avoid blame. Trump, when asked about this, did not deny the claim but instead chose to say "No comment"​ - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-esper-bomb-mexico-drug-labs-deny-b2074547.html

I think you're trolling by stating something that's already happening, but people thought you meant it ironically and up voted you.

I swear to God I think he got this idea from Ben Shapiro's moronic ass book.

I don't believe he reads books.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I don't think you could qualify that thing as a book.

Probably because this is the tenth time he's said that.
