The Bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls School in Minab, Iran

According to John Kelly (2022),


Hitler's generals didn't talk back? lost a war? plotted his assassination?
Hitler dismissed generals who did not deliver results, only to use them again later.

Military in democacies swear an oath on their constitution, not on the leader of the day.
What Trump really wants are a king's generals.
He'd like the military to swear a personal oath to him. As a certain toothbrush-mustachioed individual did in the past. It was horrendous for him when he and company were reminded that the military serves the constitution, and not the whims of a tyrant.
Now that we've been severed from our allies and no one trusts us anymore, we are in an endless war. Iran will never work with us or Israel again. They see us as an existential threat. You don't have to put a nuclear warhead on a missile and launch it; that's the least likely scenario of Iran using anything radioactive. The only person who had been "winning" since this second and final term is… Putin.

Just now. Asked if "as commander in chief" he takes responsibility for the strike on the Minab school he answers:

I see what you did here... intentionally.

All of the words should be quoted here:

(background: very loud Marine One helicopter)
Reporter: I new report shows. A new report says that the military investigation has found the United States struck the school in Iran. As commander-in-chief, do you take responsibility for that?
Trump: That is what...
Reporter: As commander-in-chief, do you...
Trump: For what?
Reporter: For the strike on the school in Iran. A new report says the military investigation has found the United States struck the school.
Trump: I don't know about it.
"it" obviously being the report.
 
"it" obviously being the report.
Is it obvious? He obviously knows that "it" is the case of the school being bombed, and just days prior seemed to know information about it that no-one else was privy to. i.e. that "it was done by Iran" [see #103]

Now that several hours have passed and we can assume he does now "know about it" do you think he'll address the public specifically about this mistake? Or will he find some way to blame Iran?

I have no clue what he's going to do. It's not like Trump to apologize for anything. I just know that I look at these things honestly and from the way the question was asked, it's obvious Trump was referring to the report, not the incident. "I don't know about [the report]". Why? because we already know he knows about the incident, as he's already commented on it several times. Was that a callous, dismissive response considering the magnitude of the incident - in my opinion, yes, but I wouldn't lie about the exchange like you did.

he was in ohio and kentucky all day.. thats where he was heading from your video. he started in kentucky at 4:30 and reports say he gave an 1hour 10 minute speech...so he might just be back in DC now.

here's the report the reporter is likely talking about. it is a New York Times article, but since the New York Times is behind a paywall im adding this Seattle Times reprint.

The article (anonymous sources of course) needs to be read IN FULL, lots of information in 1 article, but since i cant quote the whole thing this bit was new info for me:
Article:
In addition to the Defense Intelligence Agency and Central Command, investigators are examining the work of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, known as the NGA, which provides and examines satellite imagery of potential targets.

U.S. officials and others emphasized that the investigation was ongoing and there was more to learn, according to people briefed on the inquiry. Officials from Central Command declined to comment.

If "it" refers to the report, isn't the C in C supposed to know what's in the report? That's true whether he is speechifying elsewhere, sitting in the Oval Office, or out on the golf course. The man who holds the office should never be ignorant of what's going on in the world, and if there's a report, someone responsible should know what's in the report.
