To keep minds off the government shutdown Republicans caused, Trump announced America is at war!Trump is a lame duck President. Many are convinced that our our mentally ill, draft-dodging, convicted felon for a President is out to destroy the American government out of revenge for how our government and media has treated him.
He thinks this announcement covers up the murders he committed when he attacked the speedboats.
The Times reports, "President Trump has decided that the United States is engaged in a formal “armed conflict” with drug cartels his team has labeled terrorist organizations and that suspected smugglers for such groups are “unlawful combatants,” the administration said in a confidential notice to Congress this week. Note: Trump had no idea who the occupants were in the three speedboats.
"It adds new detail to the administration’s thinly articulated legal rationale for why three U.S. military strikes the president ordered on boats in the Caribbean Sea last month, killing all 17 people aboard them, should be seen as lawful rather than murder.
"Mr. Trump’s move to formally deem his campaign against drug cartels as an active armed conflict means he is cementing his claim to extraordinary wartime powers, legal specialists said. In an armed conflict, as defined by international law, a country can lawfully kill enemy fighters even when they pose no threat, detain them indefinitely without trials and prosecute them in military courts."
