"signed off". You know exactly what that means, Trump wanted to use the biggest toy he could without starting a nuclear war and the general was like gently caress it, whatever, I don't care, drop your $16M toy on this ISIS tent we found in the middle of nowhere.

Nope, from what I understand the guy who signed off on it was the one who decided to use the bomb. Trump wasn't notified.

But of course Trump told them they could use it.

It's been a few years since I was learning about monetary policy, but I'll take a run at it. Would appreciate any correction.

A weaker or stronger currency is relativistic (and reflexive in some ways) to other currencies & itself in past value. A weaker currency means the diminished value yields greater potential in foreign exports because the exports are cheaper so there's greater demand in the market & market share increases. A strong currency means that the currency now buys more of the other or past currency value than it did before, but it becomes less desirable over time because there's greater demand, scarcity & it costs more; both in & of itself & the goods & services exchanged for it.

Politicians & people think "strong dollar" policies sound good, but it's not always the case. See Trumpskin.

I was reading some article about how we bombed allied Syrian fighters and it mentioned that Trump has let the reins off for the military, so they can probably do whatever they want. In other words, trump probably got a live feed of the bombing to jo to, but the whole exercise was just some general jerking off to bombing a mountain
