personal Vietnam

A difficult situation that one experienced that is as traumatic and harrowing as fighting in a long and brutal war. Coined by Donald Trump in a 1997 interview with Howard Stern.

“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” - Donald Trump, speaking about his experiences sleeping with a large number of loose women and trying to avoid catching STDs

Dude: "Hey bro, I heard the Philz Coffee near your office closed down. That's a bummer."
Bro: "Dude, you have no idea! It's been like my personal Vietnam. Now I've had two choices: 1) go without coffee or 2) go to freaking Starbucks and drink that swill! There's no other choice. I'm not sure I can go on like this anymore."
Dude: "Wow bro, that's really rough. I can see how that's similar to being tortured within an inch of your life in a prisoner of war camp for three years."
Bro: "Yeah, maybe even worse."

Personal Vietnam

A difficult situation that one experienced that is "sort of" as traumatic and harrowing as fighting in a long and brutal war.

I'm just amazed by the dedication, asceticism, and above all selfless bravery, our president displayed as he overcame his clearly debilitating bone spurs in order to serve himself in his personal Vietnam! Now we will all observe a moment of silence to show our gratefulness that our dear leader was spared the ravages of that war so that he could serve himself as our President.

I also want to thank our President for taking the time to make us aware of John McCain's college class rank. Now we would like to humbly beg our dear leader to consider allowing us to witness his great wisdom by lifting the threat of legal action against his own colleges so they can confirm the superiority of his intellect over that of a dead war hero. I can't wait to show my friends who keep calling him a moron!!
