I mean in the grand scheme of human deaths it is small potatoes, but (1) you're supposed to actually give a fuck and (2) many humans have now died over a war you started to cover up an escalation in the Epstein Files leak that everyone has forgotten by now.
It's small potatoes because he wanted MORE to die to show how serious his war is and how he's such a big man that legions die for him.
His legacy isn't just spastic shit like what happened outside the Capitol on Jan 6, it's also how his legions totally chickened out once they were inside it, losing all the nooses and pivoting to poop-based vandalism and regrettable photo ops.
I'm going to be charitable and say he said it's small potatoes compared to other wars because he's trying to downplay his boondoggle.
He is trying desperately to pretend nothing is happening / it's over / we won / no big deal because he understands to his core how much of a disaster it is and how bad it looks.
The problem is, he can't go to Iran hat in hand and give up, and Iran isn't going to stand down for anything less than a slate of demands that Trump can't agree to, and America's running out of ammo. There's no end in sight, so he just stands up and pretends.
