Trump to Obama in 2013: Do not attack Syria
Trump blamed Obama for everything, yet he is the one actually doing it.

LoL! It turns out Donald Trump has 33 million dollars in Raytheon stock, it looks like he made himself a nifty little profit from this little adventure. Jesus, now I understand why he is dumping so much money into the Pentagon, his own personal profit. It is frankly baffling that we sit back and let him do it.
Guys anytime babies and children are killed we have to act. Just like when we bombed hospitals and schools in the past month killing hundreds of people. amirite?
I mentioned this a while back are we going to attack ourselves?

Even the Washington Post admits that the Obama administration told us a "whopper" on Syria when they claimed that they'd negotiated removal of all their chemical weapons:

In every type of government, nothing unites people behind the leader more quickly, reflexively or reliably than war. Donald Trump now sees how true that is, as the same establishment leaders in U.S. politics and media who have spent months denouncing him as a mentally unstable and inept authoritarian and unprecedented threat to democracy are standing and applauding him as he launches bombs at Syrian government targets.
:
Leading Congressional Democrats – including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi – quickly praised Trump’s bombing while raising concerns about process. Hours before the bombing commenced, as it was known Trump was planning it, Hillary Clinton – who has been critical of Obama for years for not attacking Assad – appeared at an event and offered her categorical support for what Trump was planning
:
The instant elevation of Trump into a serious and respected war leader was palpable. Already, the New York Times is gushing that “in launching a military strike just 77 days into his administration, President Trump has the opportunity, but hardly a guarantee, to change the perception of disarray in his administration.”
The spoils of war.... what a great man.... what a serious thinker.... what a humanitarian.... what a patriot..... what a serious statesman....

BARTIROMO: When you were with the president of China, you're launching these military strikes.
TRUMP: Yes.
BARTIROMO: Was that planned?
How did that come about that it's happening right then, because right there, you're saying a reminder, here's who the superpower in the world is, right?
TRUMP: You have no idea how many people want to hear the answer to this. I have had — I have watched speculation for three days now on what that was like (INAUDIBLE).
BARTIROMO: When did you tell him?
TRUMP: But I'll tell you (INAUDIBLE)...
BARTIROMO: Before dessert or what?
TRUMP: But I will tell you, only because you've treated me so good for so long, I have to (INAUDIBLE) right?
I was sitting at the table. We had finished dinner. We're now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen and President Xi was enjoying it.
And I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do?
And we made a determination to do it, so the missiles were on the way. And I said, Mr. President, let me explain something to you. This was during dessert.
We've just fired 59 missiles, all of which hit, by the way, unbelievable, from, you know, hundreds of miles away, all of which hit, amazing.
BARTIROMO: Unmanned?
Brilliant.
TRUMP: It's so incredible. It's brilliant. It's genius. Our technology, our equipment, is better than anybody by a factor of five. I mean look, we have, in terms of technology, nobody can even come close to competing.
Now we're going to start getting it, because, you know, the military has been cut back and depleted so badly by the past administration and by the war in Iraq, which was another disaster.
So what happens is I said we've just launched 59 missiles heading to Iraq and I wanted you to know this. And he was eating his cake. And he was silent.
BARTIROMO: (INAUDIBLE) to Syria?
TRUMP: Yes. Heading toward Syria. In other words, we've just launched 59 missiles heading toward Syria. And I want you to know that, because I didn't want him to go home. We were almost finished. It was a full day in Palm Beach. We're almost finished and I — what does he do, finish his dessert and go home and then they say, you know, the guy you just had dinner with just attacked a country?
BARTIROMO: How did he react?
TRUMP: So he paused for 10 seconds and then he asked the interpreter to please say it again. I didn't think that was a good sign.
And he said to me, anybody that uses gases — you could almost say or anything else — but anybody that was so brutal and uses gases to do that young children and babies, it's OK.

I never knew Dr. Strangelove was realistic, that missiles could be ridden by a pilot.We've just fired 59 missiles, all of which hit, by the way, unbelievable, from, you know, hundreds of miles away, all of which hit, amazing.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday reversed his position on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization after repeatedly criticizing it on the campaign trail.
“They made a change and now they do fight terrorism. I said it was obsolete. It’s no longer obsolete,” Trump said during a joint press conference at the White House with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
Take 1I mentioned this a while back are we going to attack ourselves?
So what's the score? Last week it's up to the Syrian people to decide their fate. A chemical attack happens, "we must intervene in the most barbaric act of the 21st Century". Today, it's" were not going into Syria". Everyone got that policy down now?
Edit: now there is this sea change in policy

The answer is "who's flexible like a pretzel in foreign policy for a $1000 Alex".
The world is trolling our president. SAD!
