HE NEVER ONCE SAID THAT. ROLL THE TAPE.

[RobertFCamacho]

Today needs to be carefull making false claims. They could be sued

[epicmomentsphotography]

He literally said nothing about using military force.

[marksilvestro]

Fact Check! He said he wouldn't take that option off the table, he didn't suggest it, the media did with their question!!

[andreasmith]

Aren't you done with Today Show, we know you lie. Horrible!!!

[lastditch]

I love how the news says one thing, but everybody knows that's not what happened. Msm must be stopped.

[trittrinh]

I hope Presidnet Trump takes legal action against you for your lies.

[carolynjass]

The title to this story is misleading.

[Torgo-and-the-Lucifer-Cat]

Incorrect headline, it should read, "news media continues to lie because they lost"...! 😂

[beboystyle]

This is why we don’t trust you guys! Y’all are fake and mislead people! He never said anything about taking it by force!

[rodneywoodcock]

He did not suggest using force, stop lying.

[Thinking_not_allowed]

DONT LISTEN. HE CANT DO ANYTHING. HE WANTS YOUR ATTENTION.

[jackashmore]

He’s not even sworn in yet and the media is doing that typical thing. They really can’t understand they lost this battle.

[laurasurace]

Once again, so irresponsible in reporting - no where in your clips or in full speech did he suggest taking by force. You should be ashamed of how you are reporting this and inciting fear.

[JaydesJourney]

I love that I came to the comments and found people that have sense. If he said that roll the tape.

The media just loves twisting words

[jimmypepe]

You said "Trump suggests taking Greenland and Panama Canal by force" but failed to put him saying those words in your video. You folks are terrible.

[rlwetz]

NBC, you might want to let your legal team have coffee first before they have to circle wagons. Again.
🤣

[CombatDoc]

He NEVER said taking GREENLAND BY FORCE!!!! LIERS!!!!

[GotaComent]

I'm slowly becoming a fan of Trump ...
But he HAS to stop always resorting to threats.
It sends the WRONG message to the world about us.

[bryananderson]

Better this than wasting money and weapons in Ukraine
