"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."
