Speaking of “misguided impulses” -- the one “impulse” of Trump’s that the political/media class decided to universally encourage rather than constrain was when he bombed Syria twice. Which tells you all you need to know about the warped way these people calculate “danger”

Do you really think I don’t know that? Why pretend like you don’t know which bombings I’m referring to?

Do you deny that Trump’s April 2017 and April 2018 bombings of Syrian government targets were among the very few occasions when he received widespread accolades from the broader political/media class?

I haven’t ignored the other elements of the US military presence in Syria. (See: https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/984552686799474688?s=21 …) But I was making a narrow point about when Trump received widespread media accolades. Sorry I didn’t capture the entire nature of the conflict in one tweet.
