Interesting how he thinks they wouldn\u2019t notice bombing bases to smithereens

the Trump statement today about exploding America\u2019s military bases before the US military even leave Afghanistan, which then sideswipes \u201cwoke\u201d military leaders and then argues that doing that would somehow result in no chaos or death in the aftermath is a work of art

So Trump's set of Afghanistan instructions were:\n\n1 Have the military give up all their equipment\n2 Bomb the bases where the military is stationed\n3 Then have the military leave.\n\nYeah, I think I may know why generals didn't want to follow those directions.

You bomb the bases to smithereens and THEN bring out the military?https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1428428758038503426\u00a0\u2026

Likely 2024 Republican nominee is *insane* (in addition to: cruel, corrupt, incompetent, authoritarian, anti-US)https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1428428758038503426\u00a0\u2026

Some, shall we say, flaws in Trump's genius idea: Take all the weapons and equipment away from US forces; then bomb their bases, where they are taking cover because they have no equipment. Then bring out what's left of them.

Also: Super Genius Trump says we should have had thousands of troops in Afghanistan with no military bases or military equipment.

In fairness, this is the same guy who thought we should nuke a hurricane so his understanding of "how bombs work" is not the best.https://twitter.com/AndrewFeinberg/status/1428400925165633541\u00a0\u2026
