dipshit spokesgoblins say "That was then. This is now.". Like their dumbasses did over the economic forecasts. Face it. Childish tantrums are now the norm..... Unless of course, the person in question happens to be to the left of Mussolini.

After all, Obama never took credit for the kill shot, but it took courage to go ahead with okaying the raid on bin Laden.

But Trump apparently feels as though the POTUS doesn’t deserve credit, so turnabout is fair play.

Next to a military base. Not a hot war zone where battles had been raging for years. Unidentified helicopter could have been spotted by Paki military and shot down.

Republicans accused Real-President Obama of trying to steal the credit from Seal Team Six (which of course was absolute horseshit).

Now the same ones who still live will either sit quietly, or go on TV to scream their support while Puppet Sharpie gives himself medals and finally gets his damn military parade. The Dotard will be bellowing "Thank me!" at random victims even more often than usual for days to come.

"Great job Mr President. Now, could you explain your decision to abandon the Kurds? Does it have to do with the pee tape?"

President Obama felt human feelings on ordering the Seals into danger and the full weight of grave responsibility he understood.



But the truth is what it is. Trump's ability to understand and feel emotion or compunction may be crippled, but he would have acceded to requests for permission to proceed.
