Trump re-brands his 9-week Iran war as a 6-week "excursion" because we're supposed to be incapable of fact checking



The 79-year-old went on another Truth Social posting spree on Wednesday night, including sharing clips from his favorite network Fox News praising him and slamming former President Barack Obama.

Trump also posted a chart, featuring his 45:47 presidential logo, titled “Length of Wars.” He wrote, “Wow. Study this Chart!”

However, anyone actually studying the chart will see that what Trump calls his “Iran Excursion” is now in its ninth week, not sixth, as the chart states.

The U.S. and Israel first launched military strikes on Iran on Feb. 28.
