Throughout the campaign and the early days of his presidency, President Trump garnered near lockstep support from a number of alt-right leaders and conservative media members. While there were moments of wavering — such as when Trump muddled his positions on immigration and Obamacare — they mostly remained on his side.
Mike Cernovich, the alt-right conspiracy theorist and author praised by Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday, spent much of Thursday night live streaming and tweeting against the military action and those in favor of it:
After Trump approved missile strikes in Syria on Thursday night, that opinion changed. In sharp contrast to a majority of Republican politicians and many media pundits, the group of alt-right figures criticized Trump after supporting him over Hillary Clinton, who they saw as the more interventionist candidate. (Clinton also supported the strikes.)

The only alternative interpretation is to claim that the intelligence was false, or that the President was deliberately lying when he said he was convinced that Assad did this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t think Trump is lying, I did not think GWB was lying, either.
It’s not like we don’t have a record of intelligence being wrong.
“whats the abortion issue have to do with current events”
Reread my post please, I answer that question:
“Trump own words was this was because of the children being killed. Well News alert here in our own Country WE Are MURDERING Millions! where is the same Priority and energy in Stopping that MURDER???”
God Bless
Assad and his pansy russian partners have been helping isis for a long time.
Anytime ISIS or AQ gets hit, it’s the coalition or US.
Nonsense. The unrest in Syria has an effect on the refugee crisis, and many nations—including the United States—are bearing the brunt of that.
In that context—as well as the context of chemical weapons being used in violation of international agreements to which the United States is a party—it's hard to argue that there's no national interest here...
OK I’ll make a deal, I go blow up people you don’t like and you give me something I want in return. Deal?
There is no national interest in for us in Syria.
We are doing the Muslim vs Muslim fighting for them.
How is this smart?
Well I was curious about this, quoting what you said here.

I don’t agree with it either. Didn’t agree with Obama bombing Assad/Syria via drones and I don’t support it now.

Went back in your posting history, back before the GOP nomination was settled to be with Trump.
Sure enough:
“He’s a scary dude.”

“Nappy time!”: Donald Trump retweets offensive attack ad on “little RUBE” Marco Rubio
You posted:

“Trump is looking like a shoe-in.”
Please don’t say that. As much as I get where Trump is coming from, I think we all are going to be very concerned if he is voted in. He will bully his way into “His” agenda, not necessarily what the people want.
He’s a scary dude.

Sure, you became pro-Trump when he won the GOP candidacy, but you were not always supporting him.
I know, there were 16 candidates. I get that a lot of people supported different candidates.
But you were against Trump initially.
Just thought that was worth mentioning, in this instance.
I’m trying to understand this as well. It was the weakness of Obama that created ISIS in the first place. We have Russian aggression as well as nut jobs in North Korea and the Chinese acting as though they can do whatever.
This was a very narrow and focused attack. It was a message to all, you engage in that type of garbage and it will not be tolerated. It’s exactly the type of “peace through strength” message that was needed.
This isn’t about “supporting ISIS”, it’s about everything else.
I’m more anti-left than alt-right but still stand with Trump. I didn’t like the Syria strike but, at this point, trust what he’s doing. Saw a post somewhere stating “Just great. I voted for Trump but got Hillary’s foreign policy” and agreed with it. Then I thought to myself “well, at least we damn well didn’t get Hillary’s judge” and called it a successful week.
Hillary was not going to defeat ISIS.
That was just bluster.
This is an Islamic religious civil war that has been going on for over 1000 years. It is not our war. Unless you are a Sunni or a Shia (or one of there many offshoots) there is no “side” for us to fight for.
And your point is? If you will look back even further you will see that I have always thought that ISIS was behind the attacks and we should not try to remove Assad.
What you just did reminds me of Obama’s campaign style. Trying to discredit someone to make a point. SMH Very sad for such a small minded person like Obama.
I'm not 100% thrilled, but am willing to give it time to play out. One can't help but suspect ISIS or some other rogue group (a nation or perhaps within Assad's military) is responsible for the chemical weapons. We just don't have the facts yet. Trump inherited a real tough situation with chemical weapons....it's a line in the sand that Obama made but then didn't do anything.
I'm most concerned about the swamp creatures who have joined the WH menagerie. Jared/Ivanka and their buddies, Priebus and a whole lot of others involved with this WH would like to defeat conservatism. And Trump supporting the traitorous 'pubs with fake Obamacare replacement....didn't like it.
President Trump now has two weeks. The swamp creatures have left DC to go play somewhere else. He has his Supreme Court judge. He has a real foreign crisis to sort out. In this time, and with a budget looming, we should have a good idea as to whether Trump gets sucked into the Globalist black hole.
Just saying.
Not trying to make too big a point of it, but just saying.
Context, for those reading your post today.
Also, I trust that I typed that considering it was from a hospital bed during a stem cell transplant. I don’t remember much of a 3 month period actually most of 2015 is a huge blur. But, so what? I think I was not the only one that felt that way. I don’t put my trust in to any single leader. I only hope that they will do their best once in office. Unfortunately, Washington and our intelligence has been trying hard to create a bad state of affairs in the ME. Starting with the ‘Arab Spring’. It’s gone down hill from there.
We don’t have to accept refugees.
Refugees are coming from all over, not just Syria. A lot of them are from Libya or North Africa through Libya, which we destabilized. Not all are refugees from harm. Many of them are economic refugees. Regardless of the reason, we don’t have to accept them.
So that’s not a valid reason for creating more refugees, which is faulty logic all on its own.
Hope you are feeling better, that is to be very respected.
Did not mean to be critical, thanks for responding.
“Reread my post please, I answer that question:”
You have the makings of a very dangerous person!!!
Believe me, I am no apologist for any Federal role in civilian health care--none. (See Health Care--The Real Issue.)
That said, Donald Trump has been pushing the contemporary reality in the logical direction.
Point them out.
What is our interest in who gets the upper hand in Syria?
