Trump described Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg as a 'lousy mayor,' after Buttigieg suggested that Ukrainian Airlines Flight 752 was shot down as a result of Trump's reckless actions in the region.

, the president did not respond to Buttigieg's specific claim and instead simply labeled him a"lousy mayor."

"Pete Buttigieg and other Democrats -- I predicted this when I talked to Mike Pompeo yesterday -- are actually blaming your moves against Iran for the downing of that commercial jet liner in Tehran the night of the strikes to our facilities," Ingraham said of the former South Bend, Indiana mayor, whose term ended January 1.

"A couple people started that, but they got hit real fast by a lot of different people, not me. I think it's just lowlifes," Trump said Friday."Look, he's not going anywhere. He was a lousy mayor of a place that is not doing well, and Indiana is doing unbelievably well. Indiana, the state had the best year they've ever had, thank you very much. But that city was badly run, if you look at what's going on.

Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat.
