“Lil Donny Playing With New Toys”: Twitter Has Lots to Say on MOAB

Twitter was abuzz with questions, ranging from funny to serious, on the dropping of GBU-43 on Afghanistan by the US.

The United States dropped a massive GBU-43 bomb, the largest non-nuclear bomb it has ever used in combat, in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday. But the supposed arbitrariness of the bombing combined with Trump’s recent “chocolate cake” remark had Twitter in splits. Tweeple had a number of questions to ask the US President, including what was he eating while he decided to bomb Afghanistan.

Recently, in an interview to Fox News Business, Trump had said he told the Chinese President about his decision to bomb Syria while gorging on “the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen”. Trump also mistakenly called Syria Iraq which led to several tongue-in-cheek remarks on social media mocking the POTUS.

On Thursday, when the news of the US bombing ISIS became public, Twitter had a lot to say to Mr President.

Have a look:

Trump: who can we fight?
Generals: Afghanisatan
Trump: what weapons we got?
Generals: there's a MOAB we ain't used
Trump: lemme lemme lemme

.@MSNBC Trump won't directly answer if he authorized MOAB, says: "Everybody knows exactly what happened. What I do is I authorize my military." pic.twitter.com/qobUrfG2PD

Was It to Leave a Hole for Foundation of Trump Hotel?

Turns out the only purpose for dropping the MOAB, other than to distract, was to leave a hole for foundation of new Trump Hotel, Afghanistan

@TVsAndyDaly I hope that's what the MOAB thing is about... "Well, I just wanted to try out that missile before I had to go."

Did anyone expect Trump to pick the small bomb? #BigLeague #MOAB

What Was He Eating This Time?

Does anyone know what kind of dessert the president was eating when we dropped the MOAB?

Some Serious Concerns Were Also Raised

The bomb Trump just dropped on Afghanistan cost $314 million.

Enough money to fix the water crisis in Flint almost three times over. #MOAB

A subtle reminder that it's possible to oppose ISIS and still be concerned about the brutality of dropping a 21,600-pound bomb. #MOAB

— Nick Jack Pappas (@Pappiness) April 13, 2017

I wanna know how many died from that MOAB though...

Can We Leave Gender Out of This One?

If this "mother of all bombs" is anything like my mother, it'll just keep giving ISIS food while telling them they look fat. #MOAB #Impeach

#MOAB stands for "Massive Ordinance Air Blast" not "Mother of All Bombs" but please keep using the hyper sensational descriptors. #epic

So #ISIS militants believe they won't go to heaven if killed by a woman. Well thats awkward. #TheMotherofAllBombs #MOAB

MOAB is sexist trash. Mothers are nurturing, not violent. This is just more heteronormative cis gender white privilege patriarchy.

USA dropped "mother of all bombs" today....but non-nuclear....so more like a step-mom....#MOAB

— Michael Lopez (@Deportes_Lopez) April 13, 2017

Why did they have to gender MOAB? Maybe it's trans or gender non conforming.
