Hey, at least he didn’t wear a propeller hat.
On Monday’s episode of MS NOW’s “All In,” host Chris Hayes trashed President Donald Trump’s eight-minute video — published in the wee hours of Saturday morning — in which he announced that the U.S. and Israel carried out an attack on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Hayes blasted several aspects of the video, as well as the attack’s execution and aftermath. But Hayes made it a point to call out one detail from Trump’s video that feels indicative of how messy everything about this attack looks: Trump’s “ridiculous” hat.

“He launched a massive military undertaking, an unprovoked war of choice in the middle of the night, from behind some hastily hung curtains in his vacation home,” Hayes said. “Looking absolutely exhausted, I might add, wearing a ridiculous USA baseball cap.”
Trump looked pretty unserious during his serious announcement thanks to the cap. Not only was it way too casual for the occasion, but it was also too big for Trump’s head.

Comedian Jon Stewart mocked the vibe of the video during Monday’s episode of “The Daily Show” and said Trump’s hat looked like it was bought for him at an “airport souvenir store.”
“This is how we’re doing this?” a shocked Stewart said, pointing to an image of Trump in his big hat. “Two a.m., Mar-a-Lago basement? … This is what we’re wearing? Blazer, no tie, shirt unbuttoned?”
