Trump: “Was with the hostages. We’re making progress. You know, there’s 59 hostages, but only 24 of them are living. That’s the way it’s been presented to me by the mothers and fathers of some of the dead hostages. They want the bodies of their baby — as they say, their baby.

Their young boys — they want them back as much as if they were alive. It’s amazing. When I met the hostages two weeks ago here, I couldn’t believe what they had to go through. But when I met them, they said, “Yeah, there’s 59, but 24 are living.” And they actually consider — I guess if you’re a parent, you do consider it this way — that the remainder who are dead, the 24 that are alive, the remainder that are dead, they want them back just as much as they would want them back if they were alive. It’s really pretty amazing and pretty sad.

So we’re getting close to getting them back. A lot came back. A lot of people are very grateful. Some came back in pretty bad shape. Some came back — they’re okay. I think they’re going to be scarred mentally for a long time, because if you sit down and talk to them, as I have, what they went through is incredible.

But we’re making progress. We’re dealing with Israel. We’re dealing with Hamxs. And it’s a nasty group.”
