Presidency a sociopath's delight for soulless Trump


The bloated, scowling hulk Trump's only antidote for a failed presidency is the relief he appears to get from escalating the civilian body count in the Middle East. Within hours of getting his license to kill from the war party, Trump authorized a drone strike in Yemen that killed ten civilians. Within a week he authorized a botched special ops raid that killed 30 civilians; but Trump ignored that carnage to only glorify the US soldier he sacrificed in the senseless raid. Trump dramatically increased drone and bomber strikes from his predecessor, no shrinking violet in the Middle East murder game, causing over a thousand civilian deaths in March. Some examples? Trump demolished a mosque in Aleppo, Syria, killing 47; homes, school and hospital in Tabqah, Syria, killing 20; temporary refugee housing in Raqqa, Syria, killing 33; and Trump's mother of all war crimes, an entire neighborhood in Mosul, Iraq, killing nearly 300.
Now the sociopath's poll numbers rise and severe Trump critics like Senators McCain and Graham grow quiet as Trump rained 60 Tomahawk missiles on the Syrian government, killing more innocents and ratcheting up tensions that will surely inflame an already volatile region. Trump claims he tomahawked the Syrian airbase to stop future Syrian government gas attacks from killing civilians. Trump couldn't wait for an impartial investigation into the incident which might prove the gas was unleashed either purposely or accidentally by the rebels. This is precisely what happened after the 2013 Syrian gas attack when CIA informed a cautious Obama that Assad likely didn't do it; averting a needless descent into war. But sociopaths like Trump don't hesitate; they kill for the sake of killing and the residual personal benefits.
And by keeping silent, we are all the sociopath Trump's enablers.
