After receiving waves of backlash, Trump clarified that he’d meant Cheney “wouldn’t have the guts to fight” in a war herself, according to a post shared on Truth Social.
“It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, ‘No thanks!'” he continued. “Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so. He’s caused plenty of DEATH, and probably never even gave it a thought. That’s not what we want running our Country!”
