‘Use often!’: Defiant Trump insists he’ll keep saying ‘Mission Accomplished’ despite near universal ridicule

President Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at critics who mocked him for congratulating the United States military on their strike against Syria by bringing back the phrase “mission accomplished.”

rump’s declaration of “mission accomplished” after the Syria strike drew widespread comparisons to the “Mission Accomplished” banner that was hung behind former President George W. Bush shortly after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.

The banner went on to become a symbol of Bush administration hubris, as a bloody anti-American insurgency in Iraq claimed thousands of lives for years afterward. In fact, even former Bush White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said this weekend that Trump should really avoid declaring “mission accomplished” prematurely.

Trump Defends ‘Mission Accomplished’ Tweet As ‘Great Military Term’: ‘Use Often!’

by Justin Baragona | 9:05 am, April 15th, 2018

President Donald Trump was extremely online Sunday morning. And besides railing against former FBI Director James Comey hours ahead of ABC airing a highly anticipated interview that is sure to drive the news cycle, the president also touched on his much-derided tweet in which he utilized a highly loaded term.

A day after the United States, along with the UK and France, launched a missile strike against Syria in response to President Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons, Trump sent a tweet claiming “Mission Accomplished!” Of course, many recalled President George W. Bush’s ill-advised 2003 declaration months into the Iraq War.

This morning, the president defended his use of the phrase, stating that it is a “great Military term” while claiming it was the only thing the “Fake News Media” could demean when it came to the “perfectly carried out” Syrian strike.

1. A very sad Snowflake it is

that feels as President he must justify his actions with explanations, comebacks, taunts, rants, expletives.

Pathetic man totally unsuited to be in the position he occupies. Totally #FakePresident!

2. The Orange Clown has no end strategy

1. He prolonged the Syrian Civil War.
2. The U.S. is drawn deeper into the conflict.
3. He won’t accept any Syrian Refugees.
