Donald Trump’s claim that the US has been attacking Isis “10 times harder” in the days following the New York attack are not supported by any available military data. “Based on that, the Military has hit ISIS ‘much harder’ over the last two days. He went further in remarks to reporters at the White House later, saying the US will hit Isis 10 times harder every time there is an attack on the US. “What we’re doing is every time we are attacked from this point forward and it took place yesterday, we are hitting them 10 times harder,” the president said. “So when we have an animal do an attack like he did the other day on the west side of Manhattan, we are hitting them 10 times harder.
