About the only thing one can be sure of when the Dotard dips into that alphabet soup simmering in his diseased brain and embarks on a statement about history of any kind is that you are about to embark on a Maniacal Mystery Tour of malapropism and misunderstanding.
The plan for these remarks was, I suppose, to compare and contrast America’s performance in the disastrous Vietnam jungle quagmire to the lightning victory in the made-for-tank-warfare environs of southern Iraq during Desert Storm but, as happens now with frightening regularity the orange idiot could not spit out a cogent sentence.
BigBlueWaveUSA @ the website I stubbornly call Twitter captured the gibberish for posterity:
Swift and sweepupion ! He most certainly is.

The people who live in the deserts of Vietnam have never seen anything like it!

"Sweeping like people have never seen before?"
I'm Canadian so assume he must be talking about curling.
Who knew they had curling in the jungles of Vietnam?
That's right Donald, the Tet Offensive was actually a bonspiel that got out of control.— RJ (@jonesry10) January 22, 2024
Make more sense than he did…
They had Swiffer Sweepers!
Isn’t it funny how he tries to correct himself when he knows he’s read the teleprompter wrong? 😅😂🤣

Yup.
Speaking to a stunned audience. Trump is confusing them. They’ll now think Vietnam was fought in the Mojave Desert were they repelled Santa Ana’s army.

Most of his audience would not know the difference.

The swiffer sweeper was invented by George santos during his time in desert nam.

You’ve anticipated his next speech.
When he sucks his teeth back into place it like’s fingernails on a chalkboard!!!!

He was probably thinking to himself, "Good save!"

No doubt.
They swipped? How is that done?

This reminds me of high school when I would try to bullshit a history report cause I didn’t read the chapters.

Yup.
Yes!

I don’t know what is more discouraging, the prospect of listening to this drivel for the next eight months or the knowledge that in the end 48% of the voters will cast a ballot for him.
We can only be brave and swipp on…
Person. Man. Woman. Camera. TV:
I officially announce my candidacy for POTUS on the God Help Us ticket.
ha ha! trump got 100% trounced in NH already. shout out to Dixville Notch!
WTF is it with dingleberry and sweeping? Sweeping jungle wars in the desert, sweeping up forests, … Someone needs to sweep out that brain of his, clear it up so he can read a teleprompter…or read period.
People listen to this moron and they do not leave, shaking their heads in disbelief? People still can be found to vote for tweedle-dumbest?
quite a number of them do leave, actually.
Superman is confused. Time for Batman or the Green Lantern to step in. Isn’t it amazing how a cult can believe the earth is flat, the universe revolves around us, unicorns roam the forests, cyanide will lead you to Jesus, and Haley’s comet will stop and pick you up if you all dress the same? Oh…and a demented, fake, con man, rapist, pedophile, and traitor, should be in charge. I would say God help us, but I’m afraid, given the slaughter in Gaza of 25,000 mostly women and children by His chosen people, God’s going to sit this one out. We actually could use Superman…too bad he’s only real in the comics.
ha ha! trump got 100% trounced in NH already. shout out to Dixville Notch!
Go North Country!!
he’ll be sampling every stroke in the book and even experience
unknown stroke types by the time NH is over.
You’d think an admirer of Hitler who wishes Germany had won WWII would know the term Blitzkrieg and what it meant both in translation (lightening war) and in practice. In military parlance Desert Storm was “Maneuver Warfare”, mechanized units fighting on mostly open and solid (enough for tanks and armored personnel carriers) to operate. History has a ton of examples of battles that fall into the maneuver warfare category. Such battles are won/lost in hours, or if one side takes/advances one hundred to two hundred kilometers (say the distance between the border with Kuwait and short of Baghdad in mere days.
Ok, the “mopping up” stuff can take a bit more time but for the most part as I said once a battle like we saw in Desert Storm starts it’s over in one to three days. Sure, lots of Americans were surprised at how quickly it was over but given we had superior equipment (tanks and APCs) and not mere air superiority but air supremacy no one who knows anything about warfare was the least bit surprised both at the speed of things or the outcome.
It would take a long time to explain the differences with the war in Ukraine and that in Iraq and why the former wasn’t classic maneuver warfare. But the point is that once again Trump shows he doesn’t know, much comprehend jack shit about war.
Hurry people! Let’s have a quick election,
a quick one while he’s away in prison.
I finally understand that Keith Moon is the original rock drummer
of record. nothing like his playing existed then…
Moon the loon…turned the drums into a lead instrument as John Entwhistle did the bass. Saw them live in Greensboro in 70s…unbelievable energy…Throw in Daltry and Pete’s windmill guitar…nothing like it!
he’s starting to sound like a Jerky Boys character. Sol.
swip swip… I mean sweep sweep
