Trump's "quiet before the storm" means hitting ISIS for Las Vegas
Consider the following:

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the shooting.

A former Trump insider has reported that investigators have found a video by the LV shooter that explains his motive

Recent reports that the shooter went on many cruises to the Mideast.

Reports that all evidence at the Mandalay Bay about the shooter has been deleted from the hotel's computers.

NYT ISIS specialist says only 3 of the last 50 claims of responsibility by ISIS have been incorrect.

Now let's assume that Trump has been informed of the reality and strength of the shooter's ISIS connection.

In that light, it seems likely to me that Trump's recent "this could be the quiet before the storm" comment at the end of a meeting with US military leaders could easily refer to a big and soon-to-happen retaliatory strike against ISIS and/or the specific facilitators / enablers of the shooting.

This would fit with Trump's "don't pre-announce military strategies" approach -- even down to things like having the FBI deleting evidence from the hotel's computers. The goal is not let ISIS (and therefore the public) know how much they really know about the shooter's connections to them.

Re: Trump's "quiet before the storm" means hitting ISIS for Las Vegas
How does ISIS stage and execute such a large and complex attack under the noses of an army of America's top security experts

Thread: Just about every Las Vegas Casino security chief is ex FBI

Unless ISIS and America's top security experts are the same people.

I read it as he has put his foot in it again. I think they are getting ready for a military option for both North Korea and Iran. I North fire that missile as they have threatened I think we might just see a war move. It doesn't feel right with me what Trump has said.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27227515

ISIS claimed responsibility, but it was probably just the one shooter -- so it wasn't that complex.

For example, he could have put six or eight pieces of luggage on a luggage cart, gone in the elevator to the 32nd floor, taken them to his room. Then go back to his car a few hours later or even the next day, maybe with another load from home, and repeat.

People do that kind of thing literally all the time in hotels. No one would have noticed or cared.

Breaking the windows with a hammer was easy.

Firing the weapons involved standing near a window, loading a rifle, pointing it at the crowd, and pulling the trigger. No aiming was needed, just basic gun operation skills. You can tell from the videos with include gunfire that there was a large time gap between magazine changes -- definitely not a sign of an expert.

As far as the video he used, he apparently had a baby monitor -- again, not high tech.

Yeah, that's what everyone else seems to be saying -- which is another reason I think they're mistaken.

Another clue was Trump's demeanor when he made that comment. He actually seemed at ease, almost happy -- which makes sense for hitting back at ISIS, but not so much for a world-changing disaster like NK or Iran.

I thought so too but now I feel like a retard. The ISIS claim was used to let the DC FBI take over the investigation from the LVMPD.

Yes, it's sad that Syrian and Iraqi fighters are using women and children as human shields, putting them in positions where they become valid war targets. Horrible.

The Phillipines is under attack from ISIS. Duterte is attacking the drug dealers and ISIS.

So, we have a man with tons of cash and a woman companion from the Phillipines. Drug dealers and ISIS.

Sure, the attack was sponsored by ISIS

I honestly thought he just said it to mess with the media judging by the grin on Trump's face when he said it. We all know Trump hates the media and vice versa. I wouldn't put it past Trump to say something cryptic like that to send the media in a tizzy for long holiday weekend. That sort of cryptic thing bugs mainstream media to no end.
