Amid the often jarring inconsistency of President Trumps foreign policy, one thing has always been crystal clear: He loves a big show of American military force.
You gotta knock the hell out of them Boom! Boom! Boom! Trump said of Islamic State terrorists at a January 2016 rally in Iowa, punctuating each boom with a punch of his fist.
That same impulse has been apparent over the past 10 days as Trump pummeled a Syrian air base with cruise missiles, threatened military action against North Korea over its nuclear weapons program and praised the U.S. militarys first-ever use of a massive 11-ton bomb, nicknamed the mother of all bombs, to kill Islamic State militants in Afghanistan.
So incredible. Its brilliant. Its genius, Trump said Tuesday of the missile strike in Syria. Our technology, our equipment is better than anybody by a factor of five.
