Big words from the big boss

Some new and doozy presidential statements for the record
• “The U.S. military is looking forward, actually, to its next conquest.” Yep, hopefully some nation will resist arrest by Police Chief Donald J. Trump, and he can then unleash the military on them.
• “If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.” I guess Trump is so admired in the Vatican that the Cardinals wanted to flatter him by hoisting up the first American Pope ever.
• “If I pulled up stakes right now [in Iran], it would take them 20 years to rebuild their country.” I guess that’s the “help” Trump promised to send Iranian protestors.
• JD Vance: “Trump is smart. Earlier presidents were dumb.” I guess Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and the rest of the boys just didn’t have that much grey matter.
• Regarding a pilot shot down in Iran, “We leave no American behind.” Hmmm, what about federal employees fired by DOGE, DEI participants, immigrants in process, Obamacare subsidy recipients?
