Trump, speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, said: 'For some reason they don't want to comment. And I think they'd be better off saying. Our military knows, and our president knows... and for some reason [they] want to keep people in suspense.'.

He added: 'I can't imagine it's the enemy, because if it was the enemy they'd blast them down. Even if they were late. Something strange is going on. For some reason they don't want to tell the people, and they should, because the people are really...'.
