Excursion? WTF

Trump referred to the war in Iran as an "excursion". The definition of an "excursion" is a leisurely trip, such as a holiday.

I'm sure the moron meant "incursion", which still would not be accurate, but a little less of an insult on those doing the fighting.

I believe it has been analyzed but Trump's vocabulary is not higher than an 8-year old.

Also, he frequents in malapropisms.

In his first term, he kept saying that he was going to get to the "oranges" of the Russian investigation.

He meant "origin"
