“When you ask a question like that, it’s very deceptive, Jon,” Trump said. “It’s almost as deceptive as you showing all of the bombings taking place in Syria and it turned out the bombing you showed on television took place in Kentucky.”
“So I’m not even sure that ABC apologized for that, but certainly it was a terrible thing. I’m looking at this. I say ‘wow that’s pretty bad,’ and it was in Kentucky,” Trump continued. “It wasn’t in Syria, so I don’t know what you’re going to do about that. But I think ABC owes an apology.” he added.
