I think that would have seriously undercut his “unpredictability” which he cherishes and it would have given all the various Cong factions time to McCain-ize & get their mitts on it. It would have been much worse, and bigger.

It could have been done as he gave the order to strike. A heads up to the military and then a press conference with a few photos and radio intercepts. That would have gone a long way towards convincing me. As it stands now, I am not convinced that we were not played and that did not have to be.

Because photos are never staged and people who don’t want to be convinced always are if you tell them as you are committing the action...
Who would you trust if not Trump? Who else hasn’t been bought & sold? Who has made the personal sacrifices to MAGA, MASA?

It wouldn’t convince skeptics. Even now, I don’t know whose gas it was. We still don’t know if there were WMDs in Iraq (I tend to think so, cuz that’s where Assad got them).
