This is just my opinion.
But I think it is because Robert Mueller has gotten very close to his Russian connections and Trump needs to appear to be an adversary of Putin and his policies. At least, for the time being.
Earlier this week, he proposed pulling all American troops out of Syria, more or less leaving it to Russia. But today we learn that there was a possible gas attack on the Syrian people. What does Trump do now?
He has already tweeted this morning, blaming his present predicament as President on Barack Obama. Why should he have to do anything since his predecessors didn't do the job when they were in?
He must really hate his job?

(2,795 posts)It's becoming too evident that Trump is a Putin appeaser. That might not work in the long haul to keep Putin's puppet in the White house. So Pooty probably told trump to make aggressive statements towards Russia to show he is not a Putin appeaser. All while being a Putin appeaser.
wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Would be my guess.

This is classic Trump -- misdirection.

(4,066 posts)I hope that his every waking moment is filled with regret that he ran and that Russia made him win. In his demented mind he knows that Russia is the reason he won. He didn't want to win. He just wanted to do well in the polls and then complain about Hillary for the next 8 years.
He didn't expect to win and have all of his past exposed by a special counsel. I hope every waking moment of every waking day he is filled with regret for trying to get back at Obama for a perceived slight. As he watches his family business go down and that of the Kushners too I hope he feels it.
I think that somewhere, deep down, he does. I think all psychopaths actually have fear, feelings of no worth and self-loathing in them. It's why they do what they do to feel good about themselves.
