As if he could be trusted, even being the "Commander-In-Chief." No, he's still Cheetolini Pussygrabber, Putin's Pal.
And I wasn't too enamored with all of the praise that he got for appearing to shoot his wad on Syria. A lot of the people who should have known better, didn't. Now they all look as if they've been played.
They were.
If I've said this once, I've said it a thousand times: Trust Trump at your own peril.
FDT.

(51,129 posts)First, find out who was responsible with certainty.
Remember the Gulf of Tonkin? Or weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Or, do we just believe whatever we are told to believe?
"Someone said it looked like a Syrian plane" isn't good enough.
Did trump burn our Constitution and carry out an act of war without knowing the facts?
Was the well-advertised air strike carried out to deflect from #TrumpRussia and to prevent his poll numbers from going below 30%?
If so, was the gas attack part of the plan? Call me cynical, but we all knew trump was going to carry out some kind of major deflection any day.
This is what trump recommended.

(10,011 posts)When will the media learn that Trump is truly the liar-in-chief and nothing he says can be taken at face value, including his sudden concern for the Syrian babies. Trump did not comment nor even seem to know about the photo of the Syrian child whose body washed up a beach or the photo of the 4-year-old in shock after being pulled out of rubble after an attack. If those images did not move him, why would we believe that this latest Assad attack would cause a reaction? The idea that Trump has a heart for anyone but himself and his own children is just a fairy tale.

Millions of dollars spent on an overseas fireworks display is not going to change that.

(111,273 posts)I saw two damaged buildings, one collapsed arch where a jet had probably been parked, and a hell of a lot of potholes, especially on the raw drone video posted by Russia.
Even if he'd managed to obliterate the site and all its aircraft, it was still a stupid and futile gesture on his part and one that has outraged everybody but Israel and Saudi Arabia.
I still think it wasn't entirely his idea. He lacked the usual swaggering bravado when he announced it and then there's Bannon's demotion, which doesn't fit at all.
Still, once he sees that it's playing well with macho idiots and Muslim haters, he's going to do it again and soon.
Bad leaders always start wars to consolidate their power. That way nobody complains when they hurt their own country because there's a WAR on.
