The Fake News Cartel, led by the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, rushed out misleading headlines claiming five U.S. Air Force refueling planes were “hit” and left useless after an Iranian missile strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, five Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft were reportedly damaged while parked on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB) in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia.
The outlet cited two U.S. officials who said the aircraft were hit during an Iranian missile strike targeting the base in recent days.
The KC-135 aircraft, which are essential for mid-air refueling operations supporting U.S. and allied fighter jets, reportedly suffered limited damage and are expected to return to service after repairs. Importantly, no American personnel were reported killed or injured in the strike.
President Donald Trump wasn’t having any of it.
Just hours after the dishonest reports dropped, the Commander-in-Chief took to Truth Social and obliterated the lying press for intentionally trying to paint America as weak and vulnerable under his watch.
President Trump set the record straight with a powerful Truth Social post:
“Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use.
In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service.
One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines.
The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War.
Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America.
Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media!”
