        Read the article? He didn’t green light anything. As usual, a world leader left him in the dark because the dipshit might say something.

          Huh, looks like you might not have read it. He’s doing the double-speak shit.

          In a social media post earlier in the day, he tried to distance himself from the attack, while both chastising and praising Mr. Netanyahu for carrying it out.

          “This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me,” Mr. Trump wrote. “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”

          He added: “However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal.”

      The first thing Trump (or rather his mouthpiece) said after the bombing was that both he and Qatar knew about it in advance.

      But because he is a stupid fuck he only then remembered that he had to deny knowing anything about it, so he issued that denial the following day.

      And of course the supreme sign of his endless stupidity is how he is letting himself get completely manipulated by Netanyahu.

      This is like the decapitation strike in Iran. Trump jumped in front to take credit then when shit started going south he distances himself.
