It’s Monday which means there wasn’t a late night show that aired the day before unless you count the Oscars. I bring this up because normally I reserve Mondays to try and not have anything Donald Trump related. But come on folks. You know as well as I do that this isn’t possible. Earlier today President Trump says he plans to lay out a budget plan to supply men and women in the military with the tools they need to win wars. Actually let me just quote him directly so I can stop fuming in my head.
“We must ensure that our courageous service men and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when called upon to fight in our name only do one thing, win. We have to win. We have to start winning wars. I have to say when I was young in high school and in college, we always use to say we never lost a war. We never lost a war. You remember, some of you were right there with me. America never lost, and now we never win a war. And we don’t fight to win. We don’t fight to win. You’re either going to win or don’t fight it at all. But where we are 17 years, almost 17 years of fighting in the Middle East, we up to as of about a month ago, $6 trillion we’ve spent in the Middle East and I want to tell you that’s just unacceptable and we’re nowhere, actually we’re worse than nowhere. It’s a mess like we’ve never seen before, so we’re going to straighten it out.”
I wish. I truly wish I knew what Trump meant when he said “we have to start winning wars again,” but I think collectively we all know. What he really meant was, “let’s start some wars and make sure we win.” How else would you define this new rambling from our “President?”
Excuse me while I go vomit.
