My sense of Donnie's "thinking" is that he didn't expect Netanyahu to launch a major operation against Iran, but once that happened, he felt upstaged and felt it necessary to join the fray with a bigger stick so he can feel like he's the big sh*t in town.
Can let Netanyahu be a bigger warmonger now can he.

(9,113 posts)1. His North Korea style military show lacked razzle-dazzle, so
he's got to do something.

Of course he had to go break something after. Total overreaction and overcorrection.

TACO Don likes to puff himself up when there is no perceived risk. But ultimately, he is coward. Against people like Putin or Xi, he'll cave every time because deep in heart, he is terrified.

So he definitely tries to insert himself into every damn news story of the day.

He's 0-3 this week.
Gotta do something to appear relevant.
