OK. Everyone who bought a square in the pool for "Trump says "sh*t happens" RE dead servicemen in Iran wins. I guess.

On Sunday, U.S. Central Command confirmed that three members of the armed forces had been killed in action during Operation Epic Fury against Iran.

"Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue, and our response effort is ongoing," CENTCOM said in a statement. "The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified."

Trump responded to NBC several hours later.

"We expect casualties with something like this," the president said. "We have three, but we expect casualties - but in the end it's going to be a great deal for the world."

The man's view of everything as some sort of transactional "deal" should be a diagnosable mental illness.

And of course, when he says "great deal for the world" he means "great deal for me and mine."
