I mean, would you have rather him say that "he wants to win the war in 10 days and wants to kill 10 million people?" because if your answer is "no of course you don't want him to say that", then he literally said the opposite. Looks like you got exactly what you wanted then. All he was doing was stating facts. that he could make it happen and another fact that he doesn't want to.  If you don't like a president who states facts the way they are with no sugar coating then you might want to vote for Big-Mike Obama in 2020.
