Anyway back on topic there are disturbing rumours as the CinChief's approach to this war is one of a video game.He is one hell of a sick puppy. On Wednesday, amid suggestions that the President has been treating the Situation Room as a private cinema, the White House pushed back, attempting to deny the allegations. Yet the claims have persisted – and with good reason, I am told even if the top secret presentations are more ‘sombre’ than the administration’s social media channels, which pump out ‘hype-videos’ combining bomb footage, memes, cartoons and pop songs. I understand there’s no musical accompaniment in the Situation Room. Many in Washington are concerned that Trump and his team have become hooked on ‘destruction porn’ to the detriment of strategic wisdom. That all the ‘bomb-bomb-bang-bang’ footage has been warping Trump’s sense of how the war is playing out.
