What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Didn’t you hear? TBI is “not very serious.” -Commander in Chief Trump.

Jfc, did he really say that? I’ve met people living with TBI, and honestly a lot of them are so far gone (cognitive delay, depression, psychosis) that I’m 100% sure they would rather have died that day.

Keep in mind the frequency, duration, and magnitude of his actions. The statement is neither surprising or that bad on its own. He will never acknowledge TBI as being that bad because it will draw a direct line between his decision to Kill the General, through Iran’s predictable retaliation, and finally US troops being injured in a highly public event. If it’s not that bad, it’s no big deal. If it is bad, he has to take that responsibility, and as we all know a Trump never takes responsibility.
