During a speech in Milwaukee, Trump referred to “the president of North Korea, who was basically trying to kill me,” seemingly confusing the leader with Iran’s. U.S. intelligence found that the country was plotting to assassinate Trump in July.

In another, Trump claimed that an Iranian attack during his presidency that left 34 U.S. troops with traumatic brain injuries was not as severe as a reporter suggested, asking if the soldiers "had a headache.” He went on to say “nobody was hurt except the sound was loud.”
