On Saturday evening the president said: “Time and again, America’s enemies have learnt that if you threaten the American people, our soldiers are coming for you. Your defeat will be certain. Your demise will be final and your downfall will be total and complete. Because our soldiers never give up, never surrender and never ever quit. They fight, fight, fight and they win, win, win.”

I honestly don’t understand why he thinks this is a good, or even appropriate way to speak. Like, ever. About anything. He manages to sound both inappropriately threatening and simultaneously stupid.

However, by Grabthar’s Hammer, he quoted Galaxy Quest. So there’s that.

Unless you're the Taliban. Or North Vietnam. Or North Korea. But hey, we got Saddam right? And that turned out super swell...

Although, thinking about it a bit more, I'm not sure those last 3 qualify as having threatened the American people, so maybe the statement doesn't apply in those cases.

You have to remember, he may not remember vietnam. He dodged it. He was too busy taking a small loan of 1 million dollars. Which today would probably be like 7 million dollars.
