Trump Wasn't in the Situation Room for Yemen Raid
In Donald J. Trump's first military operation as President, a raid in Yemen, dozens of civilians (including children) and a U.S. Navy Seal were killed. U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved the operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support, or adequate backup preparations. Despite all the casualties, do you know who's still at large after the strike? The intended target.
Bizarrely, Trump ordered the strike in the early morning hours last Sunday, but he wasn't in the Situation Room when it happened.
“The President was here in the residence. He was kept in touch with his national security staff,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters.
“Secretary Mattis and others kept him updated on both the raid and the death of Chief Owens as well as the four other individuals that were injured. So he was kept apprised of the situation.”
Further, the morning after the attack, the first thing Trump did was tweet angrily about the New York Times.
- He was apparently to busy sending out tweets, what a sad and pathetic fella.utopian
- i have to ask, why was a poorly planned operation even pitched to him?scarabin
- It was suggested to Obama before the election I think, but he wanted to wait for more intel. Donny boy obv. thought fuck it, because he's a cunt.face_melter
