After the U.S. captured the president of Venezuela on January 3, Trump bragged that no U.S. lives were lost and that victory was already won.
That was not the first time a U.S. president bragged that a war had been won before it had even really begun. In May 2003, after the U.S. toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, George W. Bush gave a similar speech under a huge “Mission Accomplished” banner.
The vast bulk of Iraqis and U.S. troops killed in that war fell after that speech. Eight years after Bush gave it, U.S. troops were still killing and dying in Iraq.
