The DT is telling us that the fleet had, originally, left Singapore to join the Australian Navy for some exercises in the Indian Ocean.

Once they were told to go over and have a look at the China Sea they turned around and went the other way.

Nothing odd about that as far as I'm concerned.

Just some prat drawing some wrong conclusions.

That's exactly the way I read it too. It's a bit like promising to go to the Tolpuddle Festival but calling into the pub first.

At least the pub at Tolpuddle is actually in the village, not as the American fleet were several thousand miles away. Furthermore, if, as was claimed, Trump said he sent the 8th fleet some days ago, why did they sail out into the Indian Ocean at all - entirely in the wrong direction??? Perhaps they were running scared.

Perhaps they were following orders?

Not according to what Trump was telling us, so either the Admiral disregarded Trump's orders, or Trump lied - a not inconcievable proposition.
