Trump keeps calling his war on Iran an â€œexcursion,â€ like itâ€™s a sightseeing trip. You can almost hear the briefing where someone said â€œincursion,â€ and he just ran with the wrong word.

The people paid to advise him are either too afraid to step in or are just fine with him looking like a fool.
