On TV the other night there were portions of Trumps speech to the UN. It included the announcement that he should get the Nobel peace prize for ending eight wars. I was surprised as not remembering this. I expected commentary about this announcement but instead the follow was about that border fellow and a brown bag of cash. I was puzzled as the bag is a repeat story and less interesting than ending eight wars. Well the station was MSNBC which does not focus on things favorable to Trump. Perhaps other sources took up the story explaining how Trump ended eight wars.
The story may be worth looking at.

Yaka, That might be a helpful step toward understanding these wars, thanks.

So maybe MSNBC just cut the part when Trump reached the punchline and everybody laughed at his joke.

I mean, sure, but I really doubt Trump could keep the details of a map that complicated, even a made-up one such as that, all straight in his tiny brain.
