Syria: With one tweet Trump may have fooled the entire country again.

There is a good chance Trump did this to change the news cycle. Did he pull the Troops out yet? Will he walk it back in a few days? He did it before and he will do it again.

When are we going to learn Trump is crazy like a fox? When are we going to learn Trump uses the same ploys over and over again because it works.

Trump knows he can say something crazy, get everyone to start chasing their own tails and then say I didn't mean it.

his mission is to get control of the news cycle and change the conversation from his impeachment investigation.

I do certainly hope he was completely full of shit about Syria, as he usually is about anything he blathers on about, but he's going to milk this for all it's worth before he does one of his, patented, change of "heart" moments. (he has no heart)

this is issue is, like anything else he does, all about him. nothing more nothing less.

So I think your belief of Trump being some kind of genius is way off.

look for that word "corruption" to be spewed all over the place too. He is the thug of corruption. tRump is in the with the Russian mafia. Why do you think he is the puppet to Putin.
