Asked during a Fox News interview about civilian casualties in the fight against the terror group, Trump replied that terrorists are „using them as shields.“

„But we‘re fighting a very politically correct war,“ he added. „And the other thing is with the terrorists, you have to take out their families. When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don‘t kid yourself. But they say they don‘t care about their lives. You have to take out their families.“
