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.

The most interesting part, will be to watch for Russia's reaction to the bombings.
Will they soft-pedal it, or take a harder stance toward Trump...and therefore back Trump in a corner to start calling out Russia more forcefully?
Or will the Russian's maybe even hint at whatever they 'might' have on Trump...and stop Trump in his tracks?
I can easily see this as Trump's
one and only action toward Syria, whereby he can crow and brag about
'being a strong military leader, unlike Obama' (which of course, is totally false being that Congress stopped Obama and Trump didn't even ask Congress' permission)...but then do nothing else in fear of pi$$ing off Putin.
Only the future knows.
