Donald Trump on Saturday bragged about "ending eight wars," but observers were quick to remind him he doesn't get credit for halting wars he began.
The president over the weekend spoke at a Shield of the Americas event, where he started by talking about the U.S. military's firepower.
"The new ship is 100 times more powerful," he said. "We're building 10 of them."
The president then added, "They'll say, 'Oh, he's very militaristic.' I'm the one that ended eight wars. And we have another one coming, I think."
That comment didn't sit well with numerous political analysts, including conservative commentator Tim Nichols. He shared the quote from Trump along with an image saying, "He's quite mad, you know."
A popular influencer and registered nurse who goes by Jacquie_RN said, "He’s gonna end 9 wars soon."
"The war of dementia versus drug addiction In his own body And neither’s gonna win .. we are," she added.
Former journalist Alice Williams chimed in, "So let me get this straight: after our bases get hit and thousands of people pay the price, Trump still calls himself the guy who 'ended wars.' That’s a bold definition of ending them."
Former Navy wife Rebecca Clester added, "The never ending bragging, the delusions of grandeur, the promises he makes & never keeps & the crimes he's committing while in office have become intolerable. We deserve better leadership America."
Journalist Nancy Levine Stearns tagged Speaker Mike Johnson on X, writing to him, "Stop the murder."
