What Trump really meant to say was:
“No other president has ever loved defense contractors quite like I do. I am now demanding Republicans ram through a $350 billion spending bill immediately, because nothing says fiscal responsibility like calling it Recon 3.0 and stuffing it with everything I want.
This bill will create the Golden Dome, the Golden Fleet, F-47 fighter jets, and total Space Force dominance. Very shiny. Very expensive. But trust me, it will also create jobs, reignite American industry, and somehow not cause any inflation. Economics is easy when you just say the quiet part loud.
Oh and by the way, this military budget also includes THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is mostly about making sure only the right people vote and keeping men out of women’s sports. Because nothing secures the homeland like combining drone swarms with bathroom policies.
This is a generational investment. Bigger than Reagan. Pass it now or you hate freedom, the troops, and your own grandchildren. No compromises. No delays. Just write the check.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
President DONALD J. TRUMP”
What Trump really meant to say:
"Last month I sent our troops on another totally-not-a-photo-op mission to babysit oil tankers (because nothing says 'stable genius' like turning the Navy into Uber for crude).
Today I’m thrilled to announce that, shockingly, boats still floated and oil still flowed — over 100 million barrels! Wow! More than 200 ships made it through without sinking. Tremendous. Historic. Probably the greatest maritime event since Noah’s Ark.
This is all because America totally owns the Strait of Hormuz now. Iran? Finished. Their military is in shambles, their economy is circling the drain, and I single-handedly ended them with my big beautiful boats. It’s over for them, folks. They’re done.
You’re welcome, oil companies. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP (the guy who just made the Middle East peaceful again, believe me)."
What CENTCOM really meant to say was:
“Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is out here claiming they’ve closed the Strait of Hormuz like it’s their private driveway.
Reality check: commercial ships are still casually sailing through tonight, probably blasting music and ordering DoorDash.
We at CENTCOM would like to politely remind everyone that we are very much on top of this. Extremely on top. So on top that we had to tweet about it with little checkmark emojis at night like anxious hall monitors.
Everything is fine. The empire is chill. The tankers are chilling harder.
Please stop panicking, the adults are speaking.”
When asked if he is concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning, President Trump responded, “No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation.”
What he really meant to say is:
“I don’t care about Americans’ financial situations.”
What CENTCOM really meant to say was:
"U.S. Central Command forces started dropping more bombs on Iran today at 5:15 p.m. ET, exactly as the Commander in Chief ordered.
These are totally self defense strikes. Very peaceful bombing. We are only hitting multiple targets because Iran has been so mean and aggressive lately. Completely unprovoked on their part.
Everything is under control. This is normal. Very standard. Nothing to see here except us showing them who is really in charge of the region.
Thank you for your attention to this matter."

"Big congrats to my favorite warmonger buddy Lindsey Graham on his huge win in South Carolina tonight. Almost 60% — crushed it against a bunch of nobodies. No runoff, beautiful.
Now that he’s safe for another six years, Lindsey can finally get back to what he does best: hanging out in my office, nodding aggressively, and helping me ram through the SAVE AMERICA ACT (whatever that is this week).
Truly a great day for the country… or at least for the defense contractors and anyone who enjoys endless foreign policy adventures.
President DJT
(P.S. Don’t mind the polls showing most normal humans can’t stand the guy — fake news, probably.)"

Let's translate this gem:
"William Pulte — you know, the guy who’s been hanging out a lot with Tulsi Gabbard lately — is taking over as Acting Director of National Intelligence this Friday, June 19th.
Don’t worry that he’s also still running the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Totally normal. No possible conflicts of interest there. Intelligence, mortgages, government-backed home loans… all basically the same thing, right?
He’ll be great. Tremendous. The best of both worlds. Or all three worlds. Who knows.
This is how we run a very serious country now. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
(P.S. Yes, the same guy will be in charge of spying on foreign threats and making sure your mortgage rates don’t explode. What could go wrong?)"
