Didn’t we hear a similar story after the Soleimani assassination?
I’m still on the fence about whether these anecdotes are true, but it’s pretty funny if his advisors give him a list of possible plans while leaving a real dumbass option in there, and he just goes straight for it like a toddler who got to choose between salad or candy for dinner.
I wonder if Trump’s aides, the military, etc learned in his first term that the easiest way to manage President Baby Brain and stop him from doing something insanely stupid was to jangle keys in front of him. And a way to do that was by giving him at least one very simple option. I assume that’s what happened before the US military dropped the largest MOAB in history on a network of tunnels in Afghanistan.
In my mind’s eye I imagine Trump had wanted to do something even the military blanched at because even they thought it was stupid, excessive, and the body count of civilians looked bad. So somebody had the bright idea to teach Trump phrases like “massive ordnance air blast” and “It’s the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in America’s arsenal.”
Trump then forgot all about what he wanted to do and said “MOAB” like a toddler who demands ice cream covered in thousand island dressing. Wonderful choice, Mr. President.
