BTW Trump kicked off the latest round of this insanity after meeting with Russian Foreign
Minister Alexander Lavrov in the White House and then taking a call from Putin 1 week later
after which he bombed a pro Iranian faction in Iraq.

(26,737 posts)The president says he wants to strike back... tweets his "threat, not a warning" nonsense and tells the situation room to come up with options ASAP.
At that point, Jr knows that we're going to do something... but that doesn't mean that he knows anything. It's possible that nobody knew much of anything at that point. Situation room (likely through a call to a golf course) gives him five options and he says "Ooh... I like that one" - but that might have been mere hours before the strike.

(14,150 posts)Eric trDump got a dishonorable discharge from the Cub Scouts. They tried to teach him how to tie various knots but he was a total failure.
He was so incompetent he could not even tie his own shoe laces. His brother Donnie Jr. had to do that for him.

Trump isn't stupid.
He always does what Putin says, and Putin has a lot more money than he does....
