What's being glossed over this time by the Trump Cultists in general, and Trump in particular, is the FACT that Congress would not even bring to a vote...Obama's request to take military action.

Not to mention that at the time, Trump HIMSELF tweeted that Obama needs the approval of Congress (which Trump obviously did not get before yesterday's bombing) and that we should take NO ACTION toward Syria.

Simply more proof that Chump is....a flaming liar and a hypocrite.  |
I agree with much of what you say.
I recall vividly the resistance Obama got at that time, the warnings issued actually from congress to not react. I felt striping enough then to say forget it.
I DO think Trump makes a serious mistake if he does not openly and loud beginning talks with both sides of congress. I believe in our government and how it works best when both sides are engaged and have a voice.
I have always said I do not trust Trump, to the point people on here enjoy their little name calling, but two things....
1. Just a week since he "embraced" Assad, I do believe he got educated in the real world by the chemical attack, and I am glad he "changed his mind"
2. Getting the hard right, actually alt right radical Bannon out of his ear is a good and positive sign.
Trump has not "SOLD ME" but when I agree....I agree.
