President Donald Trump, who claims to have ended seven wars, declared himself a “war hero” and lauded Benjamin Netanyahu as a “good man” and fellow “war hero” during a radio interview on Tuesday evening.
Axar.az reports, citing Independent, speaking to conservative radio host Mark Levin, the president said he was working with the Israeli prime minister to free Hamas-held hostages, adding that Netanyahu is “a good man, he’s in there fighting.”
Trump then extended the accolade to himself, saying: “He’s a war hero, cause we worked together. He’s a war hero. I guess I am too.”
He continued: “Nobody cares. I am too. I sent those planes,” a reference to his order for June airstrikes against three critical enrichment facilities in Iran.
Throughout the interview, Trump complained he had not received sufficient credit for ordering those air strikes or other recent actions he has taken aimed at easing global conflict.
