President Trump received mostly praise from around the globe last week when he bombed a Syrian air-base in response to President Assad’s horrific chemical attack on innocent civilians. Fresh off the heels of that eye-opening military action, Trump unleashed a massive 21,000 pound bomb in Afghanistan this morning.
Fox News reports this bomb was in response to a U.S. Green Beret being killed 2 days prior. Jihadists are reportedly gaining ground in Afghanistan, and stronger than ever before since the U.S. invasion of 2001.
Here’s the full statement from the Department of Defense:

Not a good day to be a terrorist.
