Trump didn’t declare war, he can’t, only Congress can.

Trump did however, commit an act of war without its permission, which is also a clear violation of the promise he made to voters not to pull this kind of crap.

Hopefully you just need to read this once to understand the difference.

It’s not a clear violation of this promises to us.

You can’t determine every type of event that is going to take place on your watch. He has not implemented a land invasion of Syria. He has not implemented an effort to take Assad down. Those are the sorts of things he promised not to do.

As a Christian, I don’t see the action he took to be some sort of indecent thing to do. Assad was believed to have used chemical weapons, and Trump sent a message that it was wrong and not to do it anymore.

It was a one-of event, and not indicative of a decade we would be mired in Syria.
