Trump Just Dropped The Biggest Bomb Since WWII

President Trump, who has somehow been lauded as a “humanitarian” for his unproductive Tomahawk strike on a Syrian military airfield that resumed launching airstrikes the next day, has just done what no other U.S. president has ever done.

The U.S. military has just detonated the largest non-nuclear bomb ever created in the Achin district in Nangarhar, Afghanistan. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (“Mother of All Bombs”) weighs 21.600 pounds and detonates a stunning 11 tons of TNT and has a two-mile blast radius.

The bomb was dropped on what was believed to be a tunnel system used by the ISIS-Khorasan terrorist group.

The MOAB costs $16 million dollars, so Trump had better hope this was worth it. But knowing Trump’s fondness for excessively grandiose demonstrations to mask the absence of any guiding policy or strategy, it’s much more likely Trump is just trying to create another primitive distraction from the latest batch of revelations implicating him and his team in potentially treasonous collusion with the Russian Federation.
