happened before? He was so quick to do those airstrikes, and they were rigged. Now he won't do anything cause Putin told him not to.

Or due to his stupidity, he's biting the hand that feeds him.

Trump is impulsive and intellectually lazy. I think this was just part of his morning Twitter tantrum.

.. who is destroying our air and water and slowly killing men, women, and children from pollution , which will cause cancer and other rates to skyrocket upward. He's just allowing the chemical and oil companies and others to pollute our resources without regard to our health and safety shows us who he represents, and its not the American people. How come he didn't stop it? They did this before and all he did was a PR stunt. Weak, incompetent.
