President Donald Trump gave a graphic description of Iranian protesters being shot by snipers while surrounded by children at an Oval Office event.
The youngsters and numerous professional athletes were there for the signing of a proclamation to relaunch of the presidential fitness test.
During rambling remarks, Trump drifted on to familiar topics including the Iran war, transgender people in women’s sports and ‘rigged’ elections.
While fielding questions from reporters, the president was asked about arming the Iranian people to fight against the regime.
“They had two hundred thousand women protesting a year ago, and everyone thought that was the end of Iran. And then all of a sudden, a woman dropped dead with a bullet right there,” Trump said, pointing to his forehead.
