And the one he eventually landed on baffled his critics.
“Young kids. They kill ’em. They kill ’em like they’re … like they’re … uhh,” Trump said as he searched for the right word, then settled on one: “Candy.”
He said, “It’s crazy what they do. They treat them so badly.”
Trump also claimed “nobody talks about it,” although the protests in Iran ― and the regime killing thousands in response ― were covered extensively in the global media.
