        can you imagine just imagine if HC or BO had "joked" like that. I'm sure you'd have something to say. Why "joke" @ it?

        As much as I despise Trump, I'd love to believe he fucked up again, but tend to think he is talking about Iraq soldiers.

        Bigger point here is that Trump can't form any type of coherent thought and his goons are always having to translate.
