The U.S. has withdrawn most of the troops that were sent to Nigeria earlier this year to help root out Islamic State insurgents, according to the head of U.S. Africa Command, as the military pivots toward what it describes as an African-led model for security cooperation.
"I came, I saw, I bombed, I left." Not sure what that's in Latin, but that's pretty much what happened.
A splashy attack, then Trump gets bored and turns to find some other place to drop bombs on. He's like a squirrel with a gun.

According to Google, "Veni, vidi, delevi, verti": I came, I saw, I destroyed, I turned around.
Beware of hunting rabbits
Deford’s profile of Knight is headlined “The Rabbit Hunter” because of an extended metaphor Knight used with his players, urging them to focus on the important things and to stop chasing rabbits. Knight was, of course, really talking about himself. He chased rabbits his entire career; he blew up petty grudges and minor conflicts until they became reason to hurl furniture across a hardwood floor. “Instead of fighting the elephants,” he told Deford, “I just keep going after the rabbits.”
