32. I thought the only objective was to blow stuff up because Schlump likes blowing stuff up.

Let's face it: this happened because he needed something that would give him an ego boost, with the added bonus of creating a distraction from Epstein and everything else he's in the doghouse for. Because the only thing that really matters to Schlump is the care and feeding of his greatly oversized but very fragile ego.

If that means killing a bunch of Iranian civilians and American service people, he's fine with that. He 's a psychopath, so causing people to die has no more significance to him.than setting fire to a stack of paper dolls.
