Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.

“The much more worrisome issue is that the president of the United States thinks it is acceptable to use ballistic-missile submarines like toys, objects to be waved around when he wants to distract the public or deflect from bad news, or merely because some Russian official has annoyed him.”
Trump has initiated a new era in which the chief executive can use threats regarding the most powerful weapons on Earth to salve his ego and improve his political fortunes. Once upon a time, America was governed by serious people. No longer.

Yes. News orgs are credulously reporting that sending troops into a US city is a political winner for Trump. Axios actually said this could be a winning "spectacle" for him. But this isn't necessarily a "winner," and it's disgusting to give this lawlessness the aura of conventional politics.
Any time press coverage slips from what happened and why, into "political strategy," and especially when it tries to show us a clever or winning strategy that may have eluded our senses... Any time that happens we are entitled to doubt it, as Greg Sargent does here.
