Discussion: In A Letter To Congress (And On Twitter), Trump Defends Military Strike

The reason you throw a few missiles at a meaningless airfield is that fireworks make great ratings.

The actual damage caused is besides the point. The missiles gave trump a giant wargasm and the media praised him (which he craves), so unless the grown-ups in the military manage to talk him out of it, trump will want to do it again.

I wonder who wrote the letter? (The language was definitely too sophisticated for Trump’s vocabulary and grammar skills).

I wanted to blow something up. Eleven weeks into my MAGA term and I was ready. No one has ever been more ready than me to bomb someplace. No one. Crooked Hillary wouldn’t have been ready. Not even close. Just me.

I did it to keep bad things away. Very bad. I alone did that.

I’m going golfing now.

That and it made a great show of caring for dead kids, but not enough to help the ones left alive escape the carnage in Syria.
I wonder how many kids could be saved for $59M, the cost of each missile?

Trump is horribly insecure and in need of validation and a great deal of fawning. UnPresidential!

Which is why his primary advisers are his family. Trump needs unconditional love and approval. He’s continually in Sally Field mode. You know, when she says: “You like me. You really, really like me.” Sally yes; Trump no.

His ex-military team designed the whole thing. A minimal damage mission with many of the missiles falling short on purpose. I’m guessing on-the-ground airfield personnel were alerted in advance. Donnie got his boom-boom and the sane world leaders chuckled a bit knowing Donnie has no clue what just happened.

Bullshit. If Trump wrote a letter, it would begin with “[INSERT SALUTATION HERE]”.

Each Destoyer holds 90 missles in their inventory. There could have been more fireworks!

So in boxing terminology this was a BODY BLOW ** type of fight no ** HEAD SHOTS and coming back in the round Syria commenced taking off from the air field again as if nothing happened.

“I directed this action in order to degrade the Syrian military’s ability to conduct further chemical weapons attacks”

Absolutely, definitively, completely, come-home-drunk-as-a-skunk-and-claim-to-your-wife-you-was-just-working-late, flat out LIE.

Let the impeachment begin.
