"When I became president, I had a meeting at the Pentagon with lots of generals," Trump told the press pool Wednesday. "They were like from a movie: better looking than Tom Cruise and stronger. And I had more generals that I've ever seen, and we were at the bottom of this incredible room. I said, ‘This is the greatest room I've ever seen.' I saw more computer boards than I think they make today."
Wait, what?
It didn't take Twitter long to pounce on the president's off-the-wall comments, mocking the commander-in-chief but also curiously wondering where these supposedly more-handsome-than-Cruise commanders were.
Of course, some rejected the idea of such a person existing, since the 56-year-old actor seems scarcely to have aged since playing the lead role in "Top Gun" in 1986, when we he was only 24.
Others rallied to Cruise's defense, insisting he's a far more valuable citizen than the head of state.
One person predicted the Church of Scientology, of which Cruise is a prominent member, might now go after Trump for slighting him, given the organization's long history of harassing its critics.
It was inevitable, though. Sooner or later, someone was going to tap the man himself, tagging Cruise and begging him to diss back.
We're waiting on the list of hunky head honchos, personally.
