Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. So today, we're going to talk about

0:07.5

not biting on the brag story and Trump being his own worst enemy. Trump is simultaneously

0:15.3

failing on a campaign promise, trying to play his least informed Southern base, and hoping that Democrats

0:22.8

react poorly so he can claim victory for yet another failure.

0:27.9

And this time, the reason he can't do what he wants is even better than usual.

0:34.0

During the campaign, he said, quote, I walked in. The first question that I asked, should we change the name from Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg? First question, right? So here's what we do.

stole a German ambulance to transport American wounded.

1:43.2

So the obvious question is, why didn't he actually change it back

2:04.5

Trump vetoed the bill and said they were trying to rewrite history. Congress overrode the veto.
