I thought it was an "Excursion?" Which was really one of those things where Trump got it wrong, and everybody around him is pretending that it's perfectly normal.
Obviously, they were in a meeting early in the War, and trying to do that old trick where you try to convince the citizens that we aren't really in a War, it's only a "Police Action," or a "Peacekeeping Mission," etc. in this case, they suggested they call it an "Incursion," but since Trump is virtuosically ignorant, and has never heard that word, and doesn't know what it means, he called it an "Excursion," and then embarked on multiple explanations of how it's not a war, it's just a little trip through their country. All because he doesn't know what Incursion means, so he confabulated a new word for war, and those around him, including the media, are afraid to correct him.
I'd love the opportunity to ask him "Why do keep saying Excursion? Is it because you don't what Incursion means, so you just substituted a word you do know?"
