Trump mocked for 'Mission Accomplished!' tweet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Twittersphere piled on President Donald Trump after he tweeted Saturday that the US-led strikes on Syria "could not have had a better result."

"Mission Accomplished!" he wrote of the US, UK and French strikes against targets in Syria over the suspected use of chemical weapons.

Twitter users immediately saw a connection to comments from President George W. Bush in 2003 when he gave a speech announcing an end to major combat operations in Iraq with a massive banner behind him that read, "Mission Accomplished."


Bush gave his speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier a little more than a month after US troops were deployed to Iraq, and it would soon become clear that the mission was, in fact, not accomplished. As the war dragged on, it came to symbolize what had gone wrong in Iraq.

1. Both may be

more intelligent than I give them credit for. I say may be to be kind. They both come off as arrogant, misinformed, narcissistic creeps.

2. I am grateful that we did not...

...have to see Trump in a too tight in the crotch flight suit with the codpiece look.

3. You took the words (unfortunately, not the visual) right out of my mouth.

4. It was a slip of tongue...

He meant "Distraction Accomplished !"

Hardly seems possible. Or wouldn't have, a year or so ago.
