A War by Any Other Name?

Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday aired a supercut of all the ways Donald Trump has avoided actually referring to his Iran war as a war.

In the montage, Trump instead describes the U.S.-Israeli attacks as “a military operation,” “a military conflict,” “a mini-war,” “a skirmish,” “a journey,” “a minor excursion,” “a short excursion,” “a short-term excursion,” “an excursion” and “a little excursion.”
