This is Trump's MO, I think he was hoping for a lot more coverage from the media on this to drown out the Epstein stuff. I guess he thinks if he does order a strike, it will help take the pedo-heat off him, but it'd be the most foolish decision he's ever made, Iran are not to be fucked with militarily.

    He's not very good at controlling the narrative. Of course it helps to not actually commit crimes that everyone will hate you for.

    The media aren't going to report that Trump has moved carriers into position because what's the story "Trump has moved carriers into position they haven't done anything though". Nah, it's either big explosions or they will go after the actual juicy story.

    Of course internationally the media get way more views for dunking on Trump than anything else, so they're not going to drop the Epstein story until Trump is either convicted or he's dead.
