Trump Says He Would Have Won Vietnam War in a Week, Mixes Up Cities

Trump said the United States could have won the Vietnam War in one week and appeared to confuse a key city from that conflict.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump told rally attendees in Dubuque, Iowa, he could have won the Vietnam War in "one week," criticizing past military strategies while discussing conflicts in Iran and Venezuela.
  • Trump criticized the use of Agent Orange in Vietnamese forests, telling the crowd he would have targeted Ho Chi Minh City instead, though he appeared to confuse the city's strategic role during the conflict.
  • Late Sunday, Trump posted a side-by-side image of his face and Elvis Presley to Truth Social without caption, coinciding with midterm elections occurring two days away.
  • Despite the GOP facing grim polling figures and voter frustration over cost-of-living issues, the president encouraged voters to "pretend" he is on the ballot ahead of the midterm elections.
  • Earlier this year, Trump visited Graceland in Memphis to discuss federal law enforcement, where he expressed admiration for Elvis and noted the singer would be "very happy" about reduced crime rates.
