Kassem relates that an even worse moment came when Obama cancelled his red line. Kassem escaped Syria in 2014 and came to America hoping to persuade Obama to stop the genocide. He spent 2 years speaking at think tanks, universities, the State Department, Congress, the Pentagon, and the National Security Council only to conclude that nothing would change Obama's mind.
He now resides in Germany and explains that the Syrian people did not rebel against Assad to gain entry to the United States. They rebelled he explains because they wanted to live as equals in their own country.
Kassem says that Trump did more with one strike against ISIS than Obama did in the previous six years. He thanked Trump for his brave action of striking back against Assad and holding him accountable for his latest massacre of civilians. Kassem holds out hope and encourages Trump to do more to rid his nation of Assad and ISIS.

Maybe you should read the history about why Obama did not do more. We will see what happens. I have little faith in the wisdom of the Donald Trump Administration on Foreign Affairs. The main one of these is Trump's personal history and ties with Putin which is under investigation.
All Trump did is send a warning shot-- probably a $125,000,000 one-- across Assad's ship of state. That's while Putin and his regime support Assad.
