Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman shared a new recording with MSNBC on Monday, which features President Donald Trump discussing the attacks on U.S. troops in Niger.
In the audio, White House staff can be heard laughing as Trump jokes that I dont think Id want to be a terrorist right now despite the deaths of U.S. service members.
They were laughing because hes like, making light of the situation, Manigault-Newman told MSNBC. Hes saying, I wouldnt want to be a terrorist and then you hear the laughter and he continues on to talk about I dont want to be in that business but it is not a laughing matter. We lost four American soldiers and four of our allies.
The troops were killed in ambush on a joint patrol in southwest Niger in October 2017. Trump faced criticism last year after telling the widow of one of the fallen soldiers that he knew what he signed up for.
Manigault-Newman said the recording was from shortly after the attack. She accused Trump of giving misinformation to his communications team.

He'll soon make moves to install loyalist in higher positions to undermine the military to use against us with threats eventually.

A slide showed Mr Bush in the Oval office, leaning to look under a piece of furniture. "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere," he told the audience, drawing applause.
This while our soldiers were dying in Iraq.
