No wonder Trump kept his ISIS plan a "secret"

You no doubt recall that during the campaign, Trump vowed to unleash a devastating, then-"secret plan" of attack against ISIS. At the time, Trump claimed the plan was his own, that it would "totally obliterate ISIS."

After he scored the most impressive victory in the history of presidential elections, however, Trump inexplicably turned to the Pentagon for a bit of help in the form of an additional plan. Its plan of attack has now been submitted, and, according to "two senior officials who have reviewed the document," it

calls for continued bombing; beefing up support and assistance to local forces to retake its Iraqi stronghold Mosul and ultimately the ISIS capital of Raqqa in Syria; drying up ISIS's sources of income; and stabilizing the areas retaken from ISIS.

Sound familiar?

Adds NBC News: "Last week, the commander of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Joseph Votel, signaled to Congress that the current [i.e., familiar] approach is working." So what was Trump's secret plan, one later tweaked by military experts? President Obama's plan, which, you no doubt will also recall, "Trump repeatedly called … a failure."

I've lost count of the Donald's scams.

I will borrow a statement by Thomas Brackett Reed, a representative from Maine in the late 1800's. It fits Trump so well:

'Trump has never opened his mouth without diminishing the sum of human knowledge.'

You forgot one thing, the "secret sauce", if you will, that will make the plan, albeit Obama's, work.

He has uttered the magic 3-word phrase: radical Islamic terrorism.

He knows more than the generals, believe him!

To paraphrase a quote from a Stephen King story: Trump's "plan" and the stuff that comes out of my @$$hole have a very curious resemblance to each other.

I'd say that if Trump ever had an intestinal blockage, he'd run out of material if he didn't have so many people willing to lend him the products of their bowels.
