Trump talks of ‘calm before the storm’ after military meeting

“We have the world’s great military leaders in this room,” Trump said to reporters after uttering his remark during a photo-op in the Cabinet Room of the White House.

Pressed on what he meant, the president said, “You’ll find out.”

It was unclear what topics were discussed or what “storm” the president could be alluding to. But the White House summit with top national security officials comes as Trump weighs whether to decertify the Iran nuclear deal, a move that would hinder one of former President Barack Obama’s key diplomatic achievements.

bish gets all the credit :)
He will start a war to get his "ratings" up because that's all he gives a shit about (and money).
 
He wants them to get him info on how to deal with global military conflicts.... faster.

I'm make a post about how little Trump understands, but that would be tedious.

I think Trump honestly believes that a war is the best way to get out of the whole he's dug for himself. Surely no one will hate him anymore once he leads us to glorious war.

There's a word we use a lot to describe actions with political intent and motivate fear and terror among a population.

He is practically begging the military establishment to find a reason to strike NK at this point. Trump is exactly the sort of flat out moron president who would resort to war to try and boost his political capital.

"Moving forward I...expect you to provide me with a broad range of military options when needed at a much faster pace"

Meaning when my senile old ass gets upset and I want to eradicate 10 million North Koreans or Iranians/Persians, give me the ability to do so right away...

I can't imagine what men who spent decades learning war, military strategies, graduated from West Point, became Generals, lived through Vietnam to the present are thinking having to answer to Donald J. Trump.

I honestly could see Trump doing some kind of military exercise with Navy and/or Air force and "accidentally" crossing the border along the sea or airspace, just to cause NK to attack.
