Do the math.
Trump tells Fox that parents of soldiers killed in the Korean War asked him on the campaign trail to bring their sons home. (Absolute minimum age of such a parents is 101 years old. Probable age 110 to 120.) pic.twitter.com/coIjMAekrg

The average age of a Korean War vet is 87@realDonaldTrump has taken a tangible positive outcome from the #SingaporeSummit & turned it into yet another story debating whether he is ignorant or a liar. https://t.co/SxztjboZrM

update:
After he was mocked for implausibly claiming "parents" of Korean War dead begged him in 2016 to get their sons' remains back, Trump has now amended his story – with some effort. You can almost hear him thinking about how to make it sound more legitimate. pic.twitter.com/WwpjesuDSj

Like this one on Korean war remains. His own Secretary of State contradicts his boast that the remains are home. Thousands of people who had children in the war aren't alive to lobby him, as he said happened. None of it is so. https://t.co/gsvsnOllUG
