US President Donald Trump gave the order to strike Syria with dozens of cruise missiles “during dessert” with visiting Chinese leader Xi Jinping, he said in an interview aired Wednesday.

“We had finished dinner. We’re now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen and President Xi was enjoying it,” Trump told the Fox Business television network.

“And I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do?” Trump said. “And we made a determination to do it, so the missiles were on the way.”

“And I said, ‘Mr. President, let me explain something to you’ — this was during dessert — ‘we’ve just fired 59 missiles.'” ....

Yummy! Let them eat cake!

In the same interview, he said that the Chinese leader looked at him in disbelief, and asked the interpreter to repeat the statement. But then, Trump believes, the Chinese were ok with it because he explained to them that it was for the children: "young children and babies, it’s OK…. He was OK with it. He was OK."

What about all the aborted American babies?

All those beautiful Syrian babies.

If Assad used chemical weapons on his own people it was on a bunch of ISIS members.

To impress the leader of a country that forcibly aborts unpermitted babies

Yes, I agree. And if we let ISIS get out of control, by knocking down the leaders opposing them, then it will be our babies in the line of fire. And they are the ones which it is our responsibility to protect.

You are dreaming if you think Putin won’t drop Assad the moment it suits him. He’s just fine partnering with Christian phobic Death to America Iran.

What kind of journalist does a story like this and doesn't even ask the most obvious question... "What was for dessert?"

Doofus?

There’s absolutely no evidence Assad gassed beautiful babies. Zero motive to do so. If he gassed anyone it was a bunch of ISIS members, then they lied that he gassed children.

Thousands of BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN BABIES are aborted every day.

It’s not impressive, it was a machismo display for China, NK, and Russia.

Syria is not important to millions of Americans that can’t afford healthcare, thousands being victimized by illegal aliens, and the thousands of BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN BABIES.

I’m sorry. I guess it was an “okay” foreign relations move. But not necessary.

Now we’re fixing to have a showdown on the Korean peninsula. China gearing up for war. Trump said a few times he didn’t want to start more wars. But here we are less than 3 months into his presidency and he’s launched a bunch of missiles, and is sending a carrier group to the Korean peninsula while crazy kim is rumored to be testing a nuclear weapon this weekend.

So MAGA.

Yep.

What our leaders do not understand is that these Islamic dictators are keeping the real crazies in check(their own citizens).

WAITOR: And Mr. President, for dessert, I recommend a most beautiful piece of chocolate cake or we have the “59-missile special”.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Let’s splurge and try both.
