And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
