This is probably closer to the truth:

That the United States is now again using this type of ordnance reflects the changing nature of the foe in Afghanistan, and the fact that the Islamic State, like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, is now also using caves and tunnels.
Trump keeps claiming that the previous administration "...did nothing for eight years.". Which is an outright lie as indicated by the attached DoD link. He is acting like carrier task forces and other U.S military presence on the Korean Peninsula is something brand new and created by him.......Which is utterly ridiculous at best. I was twice part of carrier groups patrolling near North Korea in the 1980s. Of course the implication is that he has now strapped on his cape and come to the party to show us his (allegedly) big balls. Call it grandstanding or showboating, it's all bullshit political salesmanship.

Your president is just grandstanding for the rubes in his base.

Is that you?

I also believe these things are mainly distractions from the circus that his administration has become among other things. "Look, a MOAB!".............
