The article describes Trump's very busy weekend, in which he tried to, during dead of night, send 600 minors in foster care back to Guatemala (a judge stopped it from happening) and then he decided to blow a boat to smithereens in the Caribbean - suggesting it was bad guys smuggling drugs. But that isn't how they are stopped, the Coast Guard usually apprehends them. The boat was 2000 miles distant from the US.
To be clear, one small boat with 11 people and no apparent weapons on board, located more than 2000 miles from the United States, was considered a threat by the president — a threat so imminent he chose to use immediate lethal force. And that lethal force has obliterated any and all evidence.
Trump was so pleased with the mission he posted on social media a video of the boat being hit by a U.S. strike.
