or what he actually said?


Yes, the "swift and swiffian" sentence was a hot mess, but the Tweets from Laurence Tribe and others cut off what precedes "into the jungles of Vietnam" line that make it clear Trump was not saying Desert Storm was Vietnam or that Vietnam was a swift victory. In context where you see the full construction, it's basically:

"They launched from air craft carriers in World War II. They flew over Korea. They carried people into the jungles of Vietnam. They delivered a swift victory... in Operation Desert Storm."
