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 think the moron meant "incursion." But yes, either way, he's using the wrong word.

and got back the picnic/holiday="tour" responce.

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"
