Trump Claims Parents Of Korean War Veterans Asked Him To Bring Their Sons’ Remains Home [HOME]

“One of the things that really, I’m happy, is that the soldiers that died in Korea, their remains are gonna be coming back home. And we have thousands of people that have asked for that. Thousands and thousands of people. So many people when I was on the campaign – I’d say, ‘Wait a minute, I don’t have any relationship’ – but they said, ‘When you can, we’d love our son to be brought back home.’ You know, the remains.” – Donald Trump, speaking with Fox News this afternoon. Perhaps obviously, such “parents” – if they actually existed, would be in their early 100s. At least.

Trump claims, preposterously, that parents of Korean War veterans came up to him during the 2016 campaign and said, “when you can, we’d love our son to be brought back home — you know, the remains.”
