Had he been

If only someone had thought to make Trump president in 1965.

Trump boasted that he “would have won Vietnam very quickly” had he been president during the decades-long conflict, as the U.S.-Iran peace deal hangs in the balance.

The president joined CNBC’s Squawk Box by phone Tuesday morning where he spoke for more than 30 minutes about the Iran war, his pick for Fed chair Kevin Warsh, oil prices and the White House ballroom.

The Vietnam digression came as Trump compared the Iran conflict, which began nearly two months ago, with the length of other wars that America has been embroiled in.

Well it’s not really fair to call it a digression, given the fact that he’s incapable of saying anything without digressing every few words. He doesn’t think, he blurts.

Unlike most American men of his generation, 79-year-old Trump avoided military service in Vietnam despite the U.S. having a mandatory draft at the time. The U.S. was involved militarily in Vietnam from about 1954 until 1975 and over 58,000 American service members were killed in the armed conflict.

Wait, what? Most American men of his generation served in Vietnam??? That can’t be right.

I looked it up. It’s not right; not even close. Do better, Independent.
