"They gave me a list of names and said, 'Sir, you can pick the name you like, sir,'" Trump recalled...

[Miles Archer]

Trump paused his remarks in Hebron, Ky., on Wednesday to comment on the military operation against Iran, dubbed "Operation Epic Fury."

“Is that a great name or what?” he asked a crowd of his supporters.

“They gave me a list of names and said, ‘Sir, you can pick the name you like, sir,’” Trump recalled, mimicking the stern voice of a military commander.

“And they gave me like 20 names,” he said. He picked the one he liked best.

As for the war's progress, he added: “You never like to say too early you won, but we won."

1. Operation Epstein Fury. nt

[Raven123]

2. Actually it is a very accurate name

We just have yet to hear a coherent explanation of why they are so furious.

[canetoad]

3. Operation Sir Sir. nt

[snot]

4. omg,

isn't that how parents handle their kids? Control their "decision" while making them feel like they made the choice by offering them a narrowed range of options?

5. He put more thought into picking a name for his war than he did devising a strategy.

[QueerDuck]

6. Oh that certainly explains a lot.

A toxic hypermasculine name. He's compensating for something. Let me ask Stormy Daniels, she might know.

[AZJonnie]

7. This statement gives us no reason to believe he picked the name, in fact, odds are, he actually didn't

He's such a pathological liar he'd lie about what he had for breakfast this morning

[tanyev]

8. Soon to be renamed Operation Over A $200 Barrel.

9. Says the moron who has no idea why operations are given code nanes to begin with

Dear Goddess.

10. this is the kind of thing they actually let this idiot do while miller actually runs the country.

[lame54]

11. Break something - declare victory

[Skittles]

12. he's so full of shit with his fucking SIR stories

he CRAVES respect so much he makes routinely makes shit up

edited to add I do concede it COULD be people used to his fucking neediness and knowing how to stroke his fragile ego to court favor with him

[Miles Archer]

15. When he does the Kim Jong Un-atyle cabinet meeting, "let's go around the table and praise Dear Leader..."

I think the "SIR SIR SIR SIR SIR" thing is true. There's no shame at that table.

OUTSIDE of that room, no...I'd say the odds of big beefy rugged men breaking down and sobbing uncontrollably are slim to none.

[Skittles]

16. thanks Miles, that's it

he is so used to his bootlickers he imagines that kind of "respect" far and wide

edited to put "respect" in quotes......

[spanone]

13. Yeah, just like you won in 2020
