President Donald Trump posted a graphic on Truth Social on Wednesday, boasting that his ongoing conflict with Iran had so far been shorter than World War II, the Vietnam War, the Civil War, and the War of 1812. “Wow. Study this Chart! President DJT,” wrote Trump.

In the attached “Length of Wars” chart, Trump’s “Iran Excursion” was listed at the bottom at just six weeks, even though the conflict has actually been going on for more than nine weeks. Above Trump’s conflict with Iran on the chart was the War of 1812 at 139 weeks, the Korean War at 161 weeks, World War II at 196 weeks, the Civil War at 209 weeks, the Vietnam War at 439 weeks, the Iraq War at 457 weeks, and the Afghanistan War at 543 weeks.

The United States joined Israel’s war against Iran on February 28, when Trump’s Operation Epic Fury began with airstrikes on the country. That same day, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was assassinated.

While the Trump administration announced on April 7 that it had secured a ceasefire with Iran, hostilities have continued since then over the Strait of Hormuz, which continues to be blocked by Iran.

1. shithole's lackeys are up with him doing his bidding's..................

anywho, this is a slap in the face to our fallen, injured and disabled soldiers and veterans.

Fuck this "me me me me me" asshole.

[Vinca]

2. That's "excursion" to you. I want to see the "excursion" chart.

[Walleye]

6. I think he meant incursion, but he said excursion so he can't back off of course. What a moron.

[Turbineguy]

3. More expensive.

[dem4decades]

4. Wars and Incursion chart. Did they do an apples and oranges chart too?

[TheRickles]

22. So they're renaming the Pentagon again. Now it's the Department of Incursions?

[kerouac2]

5. Graphs are fun... Here he is winning the spending competiton

Total spend plus daily spend as of now...



Comparison including 1 year projection for iran...



These are for fun, don't flame me for not using adjusted dollars

[Walleye]

8. Kegsbreath called our defense spending "investment"

But any money to help the American people such as healthcare or food assistance, it is always referred to as “spending“ and we know how big tough important daddies hates spending

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Need to get you and progree together

I like graphs!

[thesquanderer]

7. Same administration also claims the Iran war has been going on for 10 months

As I mentioned elsewhere, in order to get around the fact that there was no legal justification for the war, they're telling e.g. the U.N. that the war started much earlier than Feb 28, that it's not a "new" war at all but rather a continuation of the operation that began in June of 2025. So not only has it been more than "6 weeks," the Trump administration argues here that it's been at least 10 months.

From the Conclusion section at
https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-legal-adviser/2026/04/operation-epic-fury-and-international-law

The operations recommenced in late February were part of an armed conflict with Iran that has been ongoing for years and, at the very least, since June 2025. Under well-established rules of international law, it is reasonable to conclude that this conflict did not end in the interim. And in an ongoing conflict, it is not necessary as a matter of international law to reassess whether an armed attack is imminent prior to every subsequent action taken against an adversary.

Two diametrically opposed positions, and neither one is the truth.

[lonely bird]

11. And wasn't part of the rationale

That Iran has been attacking us or killing Americans for 40+ years?

[enigmania]

10. The stupid burns like a thousand suns.

[Ray Bruns]

12. I thought they said this war has been going on since 1979 when Iranians took the hostages.

I wish they would make up their mind.

[muriel_volestrangler]

13. A lot longer than the Bay of Pigs, though, which seems the more comparable "excursion"

in terms of necessity.

[Prairie Gates]

14. It's wild that Trump has cathected on this moronic argument

Good Lord.

[PatSeg]

15. He has lost his mind

Even HE isn't that stupid.

[Bayard]

16. trump's number one! trump's number one!

Give him a medal.

[turbinetree]

17. The entire country is subjected to the Ludovico Technique .................by a narcissistic psychopaths........

[Martin68]

18. It's so stupid it would be funny if it weren't damaging and killing so many people all over the world.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

19. And the world-ending nuclear war will last about 30 minutes....

[REDACTED] continually makes the meaningless into the molehill we will die on. (I'm not saying the lives of our soldiers are meaningless--only that the relative length of a conflict is....)

I wonder what the graph of mentions in the Epstein files looks like? Why hasn't he posted that one to brag about it?

[Pinback]

20. Also shorter than the Hundred Years War. (nt)

[NNadir]

21. Yes, but doesn't the idiot know those wars are over?

[Botany]

23. Trump's Iran war has been going on longer than 6 weeks he has just claimed.

It has been going on for 9 weeks and 2 days. > 50% longer than 6 weeks that Donny just claimed
yesterday.

[Justice matters.]

24. Oh, my... the unequal capitalist empire is falling fast.

Children lives mean nothing to these hollier-than-thou a-holes.

School kids blown up in fumes, napalm first and effing tom-a-hawks next.

[popsdenver]

25. LOL

I distinctly recall Rumsfeld saying that his IRAQ war was going to last THREE DAYS, and only cost three Billion, which IRAQ would pay us back in oil almost immediately........(The latest running total of the costs of our cost of the IRAQ war, just passed TWO TRILLION, and still counting)............

[Whip-poor-will]

26. Six

Six what days weeks months years what ?

[xuplate]

27. Not as short as his temper.

[twodogsbarking]

28. or his thang

[C_U_L8R]

29. It's not the length of his war

It’s how badly he lost it.

[IronLionZion]

30. Peace prize material for sure

[maxsolomon]

31. It's all a joke to him, just an excuse to troll on SM.

Over a 1,000 Iranians are dead, including schoolchildren. What happened to the Iranian naval vessel off Sri Lanka was a War Crime.

[lakercub]

32. And like many wars on the list

this one is also a stupid waste of human life, money, and time.

[travelingthrulife]

33. He is completely demented and our useless Congress does nothing.
