Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayDonald Trump drew fierce backlash on Monday for remarks about sinking Iranian ships.
The president, during an address to House Republicans at his Doral golf course, was praising U.S.-Israeli military operations in Iran, claiming the “enemy” was being crushed “in an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force.”
Trump: "I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? We could use it. Why did we sink them?' He said, 'It's more fun to sink them.' They like sinking them better." pic.twitter.com/nR6KOxFCTY

Trump then turned to the Iranian navy:
“The navy is gone. It’s all lying at the bottom of the ocean. Forty-six ships, can you believe it? In fact, I got a little upset with our people. I said, ‘What quality of ship?’ ‘Excellent, sir, top of the line.’ I said, ‘Why don’t we just capture the ship? We could have used it? Why did we sink them?’ He said, ‘It’s more fun to sink them.’”
The comment prompted laughter in the room.
Trump continued:
“They like sinking them better. They say it’s safer to sink them. I guess it’s probably true. But, uh, think of it, we knocked out 46 and actually took three and a half days.”
Critics called the comments “disgusting,” “grotesque,” “sadistic” and suggested they will “play well at The Hague,” the home of the International Criminal Court. More than 100 people were reportedly killed in a U.S. attack on an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka last week.
I often wonder who are those people who voted for a psychopathic, malignant narcissist, Machiavellian, sadistic, warmonger like Donald Trump as President.
But then I find my answer in videos like these. When Trump cheerfully, with no regret speaks about sinking ships…there is… https://t.co/xwsSnfhutM
Dear God.
(Capturing the ship would have been a far better move, especially if we offered the crew asylum.) This is basically admitting a crime. https://t.co/PVmdILdgpZ
They've gone rogue. I've been saying that ever since they started sinking fishing vessels off the coast of Venezuela. This inflicting of cruelty when there were other options available is a measure of how it won't be beyond them to use nukes and worse. https://t.co/YDRb84YyPR
