Trump: Released Hostages Look Like Holocaust Survivors—‘I Don’t Know How Much Longer We Can Take This’

Trump: “I watched the hostages come back today, and they look like Holocaust survivors. They were in horrible condition. They were emaciated. It looked just like Holocaust survivors from many years ago. And I don’t know how much longer we can take this.”

“I know we have a deal where we’re supposed to get a dribble in and keep dribbling in, but they are in really bad shape. They have been treated brutally—horribly. Even the ones that came out earlier, they were in slightly better shape, but mentally, they were treated so badly. Who could take that? You know, at some point, we’re going to lose our patience.”

“When I saw them coming off helicopters and airplanes—emaciated, looking like they haven’t had a meal in a month—there’s no reason for that. And I don’t know how much longer we can take it. I watch people who were healthy just a few years ago, and today they look like they’ve aged twenty-five years.”

“They literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors. It’s the same thing. I mean, the same thing. And I don’t know how much longer we’re going to take this.”
