Trump to Kaitlan Collins: "Militarily, (Iran is) defeated, although you wouldn't know that by reading the fake news"

“Fake news,” he said, in reference to the CNN reporter.

Collins, ignoring his jibe, later asked the president which war was likely to end first: Iran or Ukraine? This, in turn, sparked another insult from the president.

“Ummmm. That’s an interesting question. You know, coming from you, it’s very interesting,” Trump said.

“Which war would end first? I don’t know. Maybe they’re on a similar timetable.”

The 79-year-old then appeared to confuse the two wars as he went on to answer the question.

“I think Ukraine—militarily, they’re defeated, although you wouldn’t know that by reading the fake news,” he said, apparently referring to Iran.

“So they had 159 ships, every ship is right now underwater. Typically, that’s pretty good. What do you think, Jared?”
