Another day, another round of bizarre statements from Donald Trump. Today while meeting with the crown prince of Bahrain, the president answered several questions on a variety of world issues. Here are some of the rather odd responses he gave:
“When I came here three years ago almost, General Mattis told me Sir we are very low on ammunition… I said you know what, General, I never want to hear that again from another general. no president should ever, ever hear that”
Trump claims the US Military – REPEAT: THE US MILITARY – was low on ammunition before he became president. The US Military. Low on ammo. pic.twitter.com/xm2xyU4dgd

CNN’s resident fact-checker Daniel Dale documented these doozies.
So…Trump is saying it “certainly” looks like Iran is responsible, but he’s not saying he thinks Iran is responsible, but “certainly it would look to most like it was Iran.” https://t.co/KGJtc9zAJa

Trump added that the US is more prepared for war than any country in the history of "any history."

And here’s what Trump said about a potential future meeting with Kim Jong-Un, “I’m sure he’ll love coming to the United States.”
"I don't want to comment on that. The relationship is very good, but I don't want to comment on that," President Trump says when asked if Kim Jong Un invited him to North Korea.
"Probably not," Trump says on whether he would be willing to go https://t.co/s5XgPCmrVq pic.twitter.com/nk531a3Slr
