President Trump spoke with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo in a wide-ranging interview that aired Wednesday morning, touching on topics like Syria and health care. In the segment, he told Bartiromo the back-story to the missile strike launched last week at a Syrian airfield in retaliation for a chemical attack that killed dozens of Syrian civilians, for which the White House has blamed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Trump was hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida while the mission was executed, and he told Bartiromo about the moment he informed Xi that he had sent 59 Tomahawk missiles hurtling toward Syria. "We had finished dinner. We're now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen," Trump says, noting "President Xi was enjoying it."
That's when Trump gave the military orders to execute the launch, he says, and informed his Chinese counterpart of the move. Watch him tell Bartiromo the whole story — and be corrected by her on which country the missiles targeted — below.

Title:President Trump tells Maria Bartiromo he decided to bomb Syria while eating 'the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake'
we need to see a picture of the cake.
Headline is fake news.
He’s having his cake and eating it too!
What’s not to like?
/s
I wouldn’t mind seeing a picture of Maria Bartiromo holding the aforementioned piece of cake.
How do you figure that? Video at !ink.
Would they have preferred he was on the john when he executed the order?
How many times was Barry Hussein in the bath house when he ordered drone strikes that killed hundreds of civilians, to include children?
Just askin’...
I love chocolate cake. Especially Devil’s Food Cake w/German Chocolate frosting.
MAGA
:-)
My favorite cake! My Mom always baked a chocolate cake with white icing for my birthday.
I loved Rush’s retelling of this today.
I love it! Classic Trump.
Of course they’ll spin it like Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Original draft had it ‘fava beans and Chianti’. Ed nixed it. Too obviously....fake.
Headline is total b.s. #FakeNews according to the article which follows.
It was not the DECISION but the moment of informing China’s leader which took place over dessert. MSM can’t keep their fake stories straight.
My bad, it does also say he issued the order then, I skimmed too fast!
Costco’s chocolate cake is premo. Absolutely delicious.
I liked President Trump’s style when he was talking about the cake, giving the order, and president Xi. Sorry you were insulted.
I didn’t hear it. I saw the interview and I loved how Trump told the story. I didn’t realize that some would be upset with my post.
Did you watch the video? Trump said he got the message that they were ready to go and he gave the approval while he was eating cake. I thought he told a great story, don’t know why it upsets you.
