Unlike what you read in the NYT - this seems to have been straight forward - and not the hand wringing by the puke pentagon leakers

No inside information here, but I did want to mention the president’s demeanor as he ate dinner with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy at the same time assorted body parts of the world’s leading terrorist (and those of his top coat-holders) were assuming room temperature at Baghdad International Airport.
Trump was cool, calm and collected. Everything under control. No drama, no yelling, no chest-beating or saber-rattling. No speeches. It was just POTUS and the congressman from California dining by themselves at a deuce in the Mar-a-Lago dining room.
Nothing at all like an old Hollywood movie about Armageddon — say, “Dr. Strangelove” or “Seven Days in May” or “Thirteen Days.”
...
Again, I’m not bringing this up for any other reason than to show how uneventful the evening seemed. If the president was anxious or nervous about the strike he’d just ordered, he was surely hiding it well.
He could have been a great Don.
This job is more important and helpful :)
He’s a business man. He’s taking care of business. Every day. Taking care of business. Every way.
Very true he is taking care of business before 9 and working overtime. Compare and contrast to The One who sauntered down around 11:30 missing the daily briefing daily. Remember how they had to photo shop him into the bin laden war room?
He is a great Donald!
Meanwhile CNN was reporting the bombshell that Trump had to nerve to have ice cream at Mar A Lago after Soleimani was killed. Apparently CNN has a Blue Bunny whistleblower in the kitchen. How irrelevant is that network?
And working OT
For The Real American People
Did the President advise House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of the action in Iraq?
Did he thus bypass the untrustworthy Speaker, Nancy Pelosi?
And why would he not be? He had just ordered an action that potentially saved several lives and prevented the attack on the embassy from escalating into a larger conflict. If anything, he would have been satisfied at the success of the action.
Two scoops CNN? He does not drink so he did not have champagne!
And he's been takin' care of business
Every day
Takin' care of business
Every way
He's been takin' care of business
All of the time
Takin' care of business
And working overtime
I’m pretty cool, calm, and collected when I step on a roach ... what’s the big desl, Howie?
I remember the media went after Reagan bc he was asleep after he ordered an airstrike on Qadhafi. Just what was he supposed to do? Prance around the room, nervously awaiting results? That is not the mark of a leader, just as it is actually reassuring that Trump dined with congressfolk and ate ice cream. As when Harry Truman was asked about how he could sleep on the night he bombed Hiroshima - “I never slept better I my life”.
Good point. Hellfire, good. Cash, bad.A well directed hellfire beats a pallet of cash anytime in keeping people off the flower beds at the local embassy. The first clue of this is when Reagan bombed Gaddafi’s tent after the Pan Am bombing. Not only did he stop building nukes but he gave them up altogether...and Reagan’s bombs were nowhere near the cost of a pallet of cash. That’s why Reagan had a good night’s sleep.
It was a fitting shot across the bow.
This is how a Great Leader handles himself when he knows to his core that he is doing the right thing.
They so hate that he’s not a poll watching, hand wringing, pearl clutching candy ass that they can control.
Meanwhile CNN was reporting the bombshell that Trump had to nerve to have ice cream at Mar A Lago after Soleimani was killed.

One drone and two scoops!!
Then there was Benghazi...he got the call....and left for Vegas.
What a difference.
