At leastthat caused widespread damage in the Lebanese capital. Trump said he had been briefed by “our great generals” and that they “seem to feel” that the explosion was not an accident.
"According to them – they would know better than I would – but they seem to think it was an attack," Trump told reporters at the White House."It was a bomb of some kind." The blast followed a fire that broke out in the city's port area, based on multiple videos from the scene."Our prayers go out to all the victims and their families," he said."The United States stands ready to assist Lebanon."Though the cause of the explosion is yet to be officially determined, Abbas Ibrahim, chief of Lebanese General Security, said it might have been caused by highly explosive material that was stored at the port after it was confiscated from a ship.
In a tweet on the Lebanese presidential account, the material was identified as ammonium nitrate, citing Prime Minister Hassan Diab as saying,"It is unacceptable that a shipment of ammonium nitrate estimated at 2,750 tons has been present for six years in a warehouse without taking preventive measures that endanger the safety of citizens."
Truth 1, Trump 0 Please retweet. Thank you.
Ask him to name one general that he spoke to. We know he would not ask a general for advice because he’s told us many times he knows more than the generals. We should know by now everything he says has to be verified and that he is the master violator of hyperbole.
More times than not it be best if Trump kept the mouth shut!
Trying to start something that is not true, again.
Trying to be a player, and not just Carrot Man, The Idiot, again.
TRANSLATION: Our great Clown Leader could REALLY use a military conflict right about now.
lol, great generals is an oxymoron
Lying again
I think he’s making it up. What great generals? Why is military saying to contact White House when asked? Another trump opinion. Leader with no military experience or intel briefings. Lie again
Another dangerous lie.
What happened to our satellites? Side takes are useless and not 360° available. Does look like a factory/stock conflagration, not just a bomb. I encountered something Lebanese yesterday but did not pay much attention to it. 🙄
He’s an idiot, tell him to watch the videos.
Did he talk to them or did they just draw an explosion to get it down to his level?
Who would store Improvised Explosive Device (IED) material at a major shipping port in a 'neutral' country with truck routes to both Iraq & Syria? Who caused the 2,750 ton Ammonium Nitrate BLAST today in Lebanon? Why did City allow storage?
I thought this idiot once proclaimed he knew more than the generals. 🔥
Wag the dog
29th lie today
Well some of generals doesn't have what is called a good solid reputation. But then again neither do that pathetic individual named trump.
Ammonium nitrate stored improperly for 6 years inside a building that became engulfed in fire increases the risk of explosion.Improper firefighting methods can causes a water & AN mix that high heat creates nitrous oxide leading to a powerful explosion.Ex.
If there’s one thing he’s excelled at is destroying the credibility of the word of the USA.
The great generals all quit. He’s wrong. As usual.
Uh.. no... Trump just blurted that out of his big mouth.. I bet all of the generals were thinking, 'why the hell did that idiot say that?'
Let the generals speak for themselves
Has he blamed Antifa yet?
Where are the facts
So is it an accident! Everything Trump says believe the opposite. Plus , he doesn’t know shit!
He doesn’t know. I stopped believing anything POTUS says.
prchovanec Briefed by generals? This would be a lie. Maybe briefed by intelligence community, but would not have listened.
Come on, we all know President Obama was behind the explosion. 😉
This idiot is trying to divert attention from his worst administration. Beirut has the capacity to investigate.
Cool. So classified is just not a thing anymore?
What does this idiot know about it?
Trump said he did! I believe him! Why would he lie about it ! Vote for Trump!
Who is he going to try and blame
Let’s get some facts instead of listening to this liar
Here we go - time to wag the dog.
Um ok then pres...
it's his order?
No shit, doofus
It was an Iranian arms depot - in typical fashion it was illegally stored in a civilian area - thank god it detonated where it did as opposed to being leashed upon others .... the Lebanese government is insane
Why does he do this? He can't shut up~
Too bad he’s so uninformed. A complete and utter incompetent.
Do you think he really spoke to them ?
I guarantee you he has not talked to a single General about this.
I'd probably agree why do people forget the news from day prior when the act happens not putting two things together is how fake news steps in
So the great generals have no fucking clue, we are in good shape.
Can you say, Wag the dog?
Texas City all over again 🤔 HistoryRepeats Ports
Oh wow
I will assume he is lying and it was a accident.
Pie in the sky
