1. Inept Valor

Trump stealing whatever credit he can from the fuckup he made besides responsibility for the fuckup itself.

4. He sure likes to use the word "we"

As if he were there.

2. [Redacted] should be coming on sort of soon.

It's starting time, but he's always late.

3. Does he think he's a news reader

Listening to his simpleton recounting of the rescue mission serves no purpose, it's old news. But he always does this shit.

5. Let me guess! Trump (himself) "ramboed" in to Iran and single handled saved the airman.

Am I right?

6. The guy is PT Barnum

All he wants is a show to make people look at him while he steals whatever he can as they are distracted. I refuse to watch this but I wonder how many times he said this was the greatest rescue mission in the history of the world. Thereby totally trashing every other brave rescue mission ever done. Every rescue mission behind enemy lines is a brave undertaking, some are more dangerous than others but you should never diminish any of them like this clown is doing.

7. We don't need to watch it. Let me quickly summarize it for you without hearing it myself.

I won the war again this weekend.
Thank you for your attention in this matter!
