1. He was NEVER going to give the go-ahead on that "strike."

It was all for show.

2. Another useless poll

3. Did they ask "Did you support the original order for the strike"

Journalists - why not ask Trump what additional information he received after the original order that changed his mind? Shouldn't that have been known prior to the original order?

We are not talking about weather conditions here.

4. Do you support him NOT screwing up royally?

That would have been a better way to ask it.

5. OK, so then out of those, how many support the drama queen having made unnecessary threats in the

place?

I would hope the percentage would be the same - 65%
