The internet was having none of it, and quickly laid waste to the president’s claim that he is a thoughtful commander-in-chief who actually has an adult decision-making process.

Trump studied Afghanistan from every angle…from the bunker to the green on hole 7. #TrumpResign — Wayne Perala (@smartplay31) August 22, 2017

Instead of coming off as a strong commander-in-chief, he once again made himself an internet laughingstock.
