‘You sick freaks’: Trump White House pummels Daily Mail for astonishing anti-U.S. deception
The White House on Sunday pummeled the Daily Mail as “sick freaks” after the British newspaper asserted President Donald Trump’s rescue of a missing American colonel in Iran “almost failed and cost dozens of American lives.”
“You sick freaks,” said Rapid Response 47 on X in the wake of the Daily Mail’s post.
“No lives were lost because America’s warfighters are the most powerful, lethal, and precise fighting force ever known to man. God bless our heroes.”
While the Daily Mail originally claimed “dozens of American lives” were lost, the paper has since deleted its post and changed its article to which it was linking from X to read quite differently.
The report by Tom Lawrence now states: “President Trump’s audacious extraction of a US airman came agonisingly close to being a disaster but is being hailed as the most audacious special forces raid in American history.
“Hundreds of special forces launched a mission deep inside Iran on Saturday after an initial rescue only managed to save one of the two crewmen who ejected near the town of Talkhuncheh.
“The remaining weapons systems officer hiked through the mountains while evading Iranian search parties and using his rescue beacon sparingly – before he was eventually located by the CIA.”
As WorldNetDaily reported, Trump on Sunday celebrated the rescue of a second U.S. service member who was missing in Iran since his aircraft went down last week, and dropped an F-bomb on Iranian leadership, calling them “crazy bastards” who would be “living in Hell” if they don’t open the Strait of Hormuz.
“We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran,” Trump said Sunday morning on Truth Social.
“The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close. He is a highly respected Colonel. This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to ‘man and equipment.’ It just doesn’t happen!”
He continued: “At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND!
“The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!”
The president announced he would hold a news conference at 1 p.m. Monday at the Oval Office along with military officials to discuss the latest on the conflict with the Islamic Republic.
