The Excursion to End All Excursions

"You know, they have this new word called
'affordability'!"​

Trump's limited vocabulary and desperate need to characterize anything that serves his agenda in superlatives ("beautiful" festoons his self-promotions as if it were a bucket of gold paint slathered indiscriminately) can result in some relentless, tortured syntactical locutions.

​

Trump has a new word fixation, but it appears he does not fully understand its meaning — and members of his staff seem less-than-reluctant to tell him.​

​

In the last week, Trump, 79, has used the word “excursion” dozens of times to describe his unauthorized war in Iran. He often makes a waving hand motion to describe what he apparently means.​

The word “excursion” usually refers to a quick, leisurely vacation, but the president has applied that to describe his deadly war.​

​

Some Trump aids... they believe Trump has confused the term “military incursion,” which is defined as invasion or attack, especially a sudden or brief one, with a “military excursion.”​

​

Sources said that they or their coworkers have used the term “incursion” in front of Trump, which is where he may have picked up the term, but Trump is playing loose with the word’s definition.​

​

“We took a little excursion because we felt we had to, to get rid of some evil, and I think you’ll see it’s going to be a short-term excursion,” Trump said Tuesday from his Doral, Florida resort.​

​

“We did a little excursion, we had to take this couple weeks, few weeks of excursion,” Trump said the next day at a factory in Ohio.​

​

Some officials in the White House said that they are afraid to correct the president on his gaffe, and others said a correction wouldn’t even matter.​

​

“I’m not telling him,” one administration official told Zeteo, implying that correcting Trump would be “a fool’s errand,” and that “doing so would likely get them yelled at.”​

​

Wasn't it William Tecumseh Sherman who famously opined, "An excursion is hell," highlighting the brutal and devastating nature of a seaside picnic?​

​

Presumably, Trump would have dubbed the allied forces landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944 as "a day at the beach."​

Getting all worked up over semantics, typical TDS dipshit.

Those red numbers will drag the whole party down. Even the Rasmussen approval is only 44% and they only poll Republicans.

Well, his approval rating in the GOP is better than Obama's at this point in his second term. Did Obama destroy your party?

Are the mid-terms going to be rough? Absolutely. They usually are.

Are you an anti-semantic?

Maybe Europe will save our ass if Trump insults, mocks, trolls, extorts and intimidates them a bit more.

Hey -- tariffs! Slap on some more tariffs. That'll convince 'em.

If that doesn't work, post an AI video of Trump flying an airplane over Europe and spraying feces on its people.

C'mon, let's get on this! Winning!

Obama wasn`t a convicted felon with rumors of pedophilia circulating and he never ordered his supporters to attack the police. Can you see the difference now?

What a "dog's breakfast" of an OP.

"Dog's breakfast" refers to something that is messy, disorganized, or poorly done.

Who did you get to read it to you?

Yup Obama was less popular than a "convicted felon with rumors of pedophilia circulating and he never ordered his supporters to attack the police"

Not a ringing endorsement for your God Obama
