1. Trolling.

He loves to do this - tease people that he's about to do something with his power, but not say what. I think he was feeling especially "big" with all the military brass in the room & was just showing off. "I have the power & I'm going to use it, but I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to do." He's such a fucking ass.

[bearsfootball516]

2. Yep. He was sick of Tillerson getting all the headlines.

So he said something to get himself back in the spotlight.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

5. I have a semi-similar theory

I recall reading that Reagan was coached to "seem a little unbalanced" to create the impression in negotiations withe the USSR that he might actually use a weapon. Maybe Trump has been encouraged to do that.

On the other hand, I may be giving way too much credit.

7. I agree.

It could be interpreted as a threat from Trump if important people (his family or close associates or him) are indicted; he will attack a country or do something startling, dangerous, and bold to take the attention away from the indictments.

[Cosmocat]

18. Yep

Just being his jackass self.

[CanonRay]

3. More smoke blowing out of Trump's ass

[bdamomma]

4. He's fucking with people's heads

Isn't there enough misery in the world without him stirring the pot. He is a sick fucking pig.

[BigmanPigman]

24. Yes I did and someone posted it on DU today as well.

I have about 10 bookmarks about the 25 Amend., 45's mental health, his supporters' mental health, etc. from the past year. I want to know if mental health tests can be added to requirements for candidates running for office in the future.

6. I'm so sorry

I thought it said "the Klan before the storm".

[procon]

[Alea]

[ProudLib72]

27. I can't believe someone beat me to it

Well, actually I can. DUers are very scatalogical.

[Amishman]

15. nothing

he just wants to spin another distraction to get attention away from poor handling of other problems

[Merlot]

16. This is calm?

What he means is to mess with every one's mind and create kaos.

[Old Vet]

19. IMO...Four American soldiers were ambushed and killed in Niger..........

Wouldn't surprise me if hes(45) gearing up for a payback raid on the people that did this to our troops? Other then that its some bullshit hes trying to do without the generals approval.

[4139]

21. A push in Afghanistan or Syria

[Wounded Bear]

25. I'm kind of with Stephanie Ruhle this morning on MSNBC...

she was wondering, and I agree, what CALM? We haven't had a calm day since Trump stepped off the escalator.

[imanamerican63]

26. All the above! It will a shit storm!

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. The meeting that preceded the comment was him telling his

generals he wants war plans and now
