WHY DID TRUMP GIVE SOMEBODY ELSE CREDIT FOR A CHANGE?

Today the U.S. military dropped"the mother of all bombs" on an ISIS compound in Afghanistan. When  asked if he authorized it, Trump (who usually takes credit for everything) hedged and said that he authorized the military. The gullible media seem to feel this is the comment of a strong and modest leader. I would suggest it's another one of Trump's ploys. If anything goes wrong with this operation, such as the deaths of many children of ISIS members or other civilians, Trump will not accept any blame: after all he authorized the military, so really it's their error, just as he blamed the generals for the many deaths in the Yemen disaster. Note how often Trump said after the bombing, "We're so proud of our military." in order to reinforce that it was them, not him, who made the bombing decision. Very transparent, except to the media.
