Where have I heard that before?
"I view it -- in a sense as a wartime president," Trump said after announcing he was invoking the Defense Production Act, which was established in 1950 in response to production needs during the Korean War.

It is a war that can't be lost.
No matter the outcome, he will call it a big win. If ten thousand Americans die, he will claim that he saved a million. If we enter a long recession, he will claim that his business acumen kept us out of a depression.
