I don't have an answer for you. But, I'd rather spend tax dollars building railroads in SE Asia than blowing up the Middle East. #Iraq2Trillion #neverforget

Dude, it is not 2 trillion by a long shot.

It is 268k ( https://www.iraqbodycount.org/ )

I believe he's referring to the economic cost being $2 trillion, not the death count.
Did you really think he was talking about the body count?(Have 2 trillion people even ever lived...?) He's clearly talking about the projected cost of that war.

Dollars not deaths.
If we count trees as people, there is no difference
