So Trump wasted millions of dollars worth of missiles just to win a news cycle

and look like Billy Bad Ass? Throw in millions more for his little Chinese soiree in Mar-A-Lago, and the US taxpayers will enjoy another expensive show from our royal family of thieves and grifters.

Fire 10 of those things, and it costs us 15 million. A 3-day trip to Mar-A-Lago along with the added security for the Chinese delegation will probably cost 5 million or more. The so called 'mainstream news' needs to point this out now!

Edit to add: Now I just heard it was 60 missiles launched. We're now close to 100 million bucks for Trump to win a news cycle.

The time of day struck me odd. Then the Media lite up like a roman candle. Talk about a pivot,went from talking about Nunes giving up his spot on the Intel Committee and bang,Tomahawk Missiles and the on air talent tripping over themselves to be the next thing to sliced bread.

Something smells to high hell with this thing. Those Missile Ships arrived just a few days ago.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese entourage takes off early
