The simplest reason is Trump and his ego

The military has to do as he commands

His administration bows to him

@Charity

Trump behaves like a 10 year old kid playing President in the White House. He can do anything he wants as Commander-in-Chief. He doesn't need Congress's approval to fly B2 bombers and bomb anything he wants as long as he doesn't use military assets to wage war. He can deploy the entire US Navy to blockade any country as long as he doesn't wage war. If any country Trump messes with retaliates with nuclear weapons, then Congress has to declare war.

@sree251 If you think that Trump is his own man you are very very mistaken. I am by no means a fan of him. However I do recognise that his erratic behaviour is symptomatic of a puppet on a string. Other much more learned men that I have said the same thing including people who know him personally. I suspect that he is owned by Israel who have a gun to his head figuratively if not literally. He does what Israel wants or he or his kids gets it. Still not a fan of him though.

I was a fan, voted for him and thought he could become the greatest President putting America on the right path. He scammed me. I am not sure he is a puppet on a string the way US politicians are yanked this way and that by the forces controlling the US Government and the American public. I watched him way back when he was in his forties getting interviewed on TV. He couldn't have been faking his views on the state of the country and his perception of what was wrong. He was his own man then. Perhaps, he is now in the clutches of the devil controlling the country. If that is the case, then the whole nation is heading down the tubes. There is no way to fight this kind of evil.
