Trump says our troops were not on the frontline in Afghanistan

Interesting, Wyllow. Not keen on Quentin Letts at all but he made a similar point on Any Questions on Friday, likening Trump’s mental state to Charlemagne and Henry VIII, amongst others. Husband and I had a conversation earlier that day where we came to a similar conclusion, thinking of Nero and Genghis Khan (though at least Khan wasn’t a draft-dodger).

I agree with a poster upthread. A full, honest psychological report would make for very interesting reading.

Of course, that will never be allowed. No doubt, like his medical reports, it will be the greatest psychological profile, ever. The best.

I think what he said about troops in Afghanistan was a mix of hubris about Greenland and the fact that he comes out with all sorts of things at times, probably something he heard someone once say about the troops there, being both lazy and ignorant about many foreign (to him) affairs.
At least there was a sort of apology but what about an apology of sorts for the rest of the countries who lost servicemen too?

He didn't apologise he just made a different statement that contradicted what he'd previously said. Classic Trump!
