Looks like @realDonaldTrump is on track to be the most successful ISIS recruiter ever. Guess he's good at *something*… https://t.co/QIrcrVYSDY

I'm so scared Misha. He needs to be impeached.

He's just bombing willy nilly, no congressional approval. What the fuck, man?

But Collins’ comparison was taken issue with:
Hiroshima 13-18 kt TNT
GBU-43/B 0,010 kT TNTpls get your numbers right @mishacollins https://t.co/1hrPAr3bfi

Uh Little Boy was equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT and the MOAB is equivalent to 11 Tons. You're sensationalizing.
— Mr. Fahrenheit (@JWcolour) April 13, 2017
Um, no – you're a factor of 1000 out. The MOAB is 11 tons, Little Boy was around 15,000 tons equivalent.
