Trump on Iran: The kamikaze boats don't exist. They're fake. AI generated

Trump on Iran:

The kamikaze boats don’t exist. They’re fake. And you can almost see that when you look at them.

Because if they did exist, we’d hit them just like we hit other boats all over the place. But they don’t exist.

In fact, some of the people say, “Where are the boats? How come nobody’s seen the boats?” You know why? Because it’s AI generated. It’s fake.




We are so fucked. If Congress doesn't act to put an end to this immediately, I'm done. The world is in the hands of a mad man.

I think that would be a sloppy use of language. Now, whether Trump has been told there are supposed videos of "suicide boats" with Iranians on them supposedly killing themselves in the attack - which is what "kamikaze" ought to mean, given its use in WW2 - or if he's trying to deny that there are unmanned boats being used to attack tankers, we can't tell. Trump is normally crap at using accurate language, even if he wants to (which is rare), but the clip on its own of him saying "there are no kamikaze boats" could be reasonable.
