this level of ignorance surprised me, even for trump:
"Attendees began explaining to the president that the VA had not made enough progress on [ Agent Orange ] at all, to which Trump responded by abruptly derailing the meeting and asking the attendees if Agent Orange was “that stuff from that movie.”
He did not initially name the film he was referencing, but it quickly became clear as Trump kept rambling that he was referring to the classic 1979 Francis Ford Coppola epic Apocalypse Now, and specifically the famous helicopter attack
the article cites anonymous sources with one major exception:
"Reached for comment Wednesday, [ Rick ] Weidman,[ co-founder of Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) ], told The Daily Beast that he does “hate that movie,” and while he did not go into specifics of this part of the meeting, he did confirm that Trump “said something where it was clear he was confused by napalm and Agent Orange.”

I think "Agent Orange" is his code name when he secretly communicates with Putin.

Trump was too busy in his own 'personal Vietnam' avoiding the clap to actually know anything about the real Vietnam and the damage it did to so many for no good reason.

My dad was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam. He'd probably be more than happy to explain it to Trump.
However, Trump probably wouldn't enjoy that exchange one little bit......
As usual not one shred of proof, evidence, actual Trump quote, anything is given to back up their claims.
.... besides the direct quote from Rick Weidman, co-founder of Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA)
