Trump insists Dems won’t give him credit for blowing up ‘son of a b***h’ Gen. Soleimani at raucous Wisconsin rally
PRESIDENT Donald Trump defended killing Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and slammed the Democrats’ stance on national security during a rally in Wisconsin — all while Democrats held their final debate before primary voting begins.
Trump referred to Soleimani as a “son of a b***h” while talking about how the general planted roadside bombs that left U.S. soldiers missing limbs, severely burned and dead.
The president got a lot of criticism from Democrats after Soleimani’s killing for not giving them notice of the attack.
Democrats also said there wasn’t enough intelligence to show that Soleimani was planning an “imminent” attack on Americans.
“They're saying, 'Was the attack imminent? Was it imminent?' Does the fact that he's killed hundreds of thousands of people and thousands of Americans, and horribly killed and wounded thousands and thousands, that doesn't matter,” Trump said at the rally, which took place in downtown Milwaukee at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
In the 2016 election, Trump narrowly won Wisconsin by fewer than 23,000 votes. He is expected to make frequent visits to the state in the coming months.
Wisconsin is also a big part of Democrats’ 2020 strategy — one of the reasons the Dems chose Milwaukee as the location to host their national convention happening in July.
“I think the Wisconsin vote is very important, very important,” Brenda Stoetzer, 60, from Hickory Hills, Illinois, said to the Associated Press.
Trump’s first rally of the year was in Ohio, which is hosting its primary March 17.
Wisconsin’s primary is on April 7.
