Aarrgghh. Enough of the EXcursion. It's more properly an INcursion....

Excursion: 1) A short journey made with the intention of returning to the starting point; an outing. 2) A pleasure tour, especially one of limited duration and at a special low fare.

Incursion: A sudden attack on or invasion of hostile territory.

Pretty sure

He does this all the time. Narcissists rarely listen to begin with. But once they grab a word or concept they go with it. Regardless how often you tell them they're mistaken.

He still thinks "political asylum" means people coming to the US from insane asylums

LOL

"You have heard of that word before, right? Excursion. It's an important word I use."

trump is too senile/stupid to know the difference between “excursion” and “incursion." trump's aides know the difference but they do NOT dare correct trump. Every time that trump uses the term "excursion" instead of incursion, I laugh. Again, trump is too senile to sue the right term and his aides are too scared to correct trump.

Trump aides aware of presidentâ€™s repeated gaffe â€“ but are â€˜afraid to correct himâ€™: report

President Donald Trump has been ridiculed in recent days for repeatedly referring to his administration’s military siege on Iran as an “excursion,” a potential mix-up with the word “incursion,” but according to a new report from Zeteo, his aides are well aware of the blunder but refuse to correct him out of fear.

“I’m not telling him,” a Trump administration official told Zeteo on Friday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

The word “excursion,” as explained by MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire on Friday, generally refers to “a short, organized pleasure trip, à la snorkeling,” whereas an “incursion” is a “sudden, often hostile entrance or invasion into a territory or place,” a far more appropriate term to describe the Trump administration’s operation in Iran.

And yet, despite the obvious blunder, Trump officials told Zeteo that correcting the president would be “a fool’s errand,” and that “doing so would likely get them yelled at,” the outlet reported.

“We say ‘incursion,’ the boss says ‘excursion.’ It’s not a big deal,” a second Trump official told Zeteo, also speaking on the condition of anonymity.
