There's no question someone in the White House told Trump to call the war in Iran an "incursion," but he heard it as "excursion" and now he keeps calling it that - making the war sound like a holiday getaway - because no one around him ever corrects him when he makes a mistake.

And congrats @WilliamCohan, who saw the writing on the wall: puck.news/why-ted-sarand…
