President Trump ignored questions from reporters about the military strikes in Iran and the American casualties involved, choosing instead to admire new statues installed in the White House Rose Garden. This happened when he returned to Washington.
After stepping off Marine One, Trump walked past reporters who were shouting questions about the conflict. Senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes noted that he usually stops to talk to the press, but this time he “completely ignored us.” He stopped to look at new statues of Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, called them “unbelievable,” and walked away.
