DONALD Trump’s dramatic U-turn on taking military action in Syria was sparked by the heartbreak of his daughter Ivanka, it has been claimed.
The US President, who had previously been opposed to the US launching airstrikes on Syria, announced that the gas attack could not be tolerated and ordered the 59-missile bombing of an airbase involved in the fatal chemical assault.

What action? The air strike? or Ivanka commenting on Twitter?
True. And candidate Trump assured us over and over again that his children would have no role in his administration. I feel foolish for having believed him and assured others that a vote for Trump was not a vote for his offspring.
LOL. Great summary there. But I suspect he could have easily avoided jail time on the tax evasion charges. It was the illegal campaign contributions and witness tampering that probably got him into more trouble there.
I know a bad decision when I see it
Yeah, as far as you call tell "she's a dress saleswoman and he inherited the family...blah, blah, blah..." are nothing but assumptions
They are facts.
One of the outlandish things Gorelick apparently claimed is that Ivanka Trump can't be expected to sell off her apparel business to avoid any conflicts of interest because the Trump name is part of the company's value and that name would still be part of the brand of everything the company produced even if she sold the company.
If there's something that makes it impossible for her to address a conflict of interest in her White House role, wouldn't that mean she shouldn't take on the White House role at all?!
What a remarkable person you are. Maybe Trump should have picked you for one of his advisors.

“it has been claimed”
WOW! Now THERE’S a definitive attribution!
Amen! I’m sure she is a great gal. She has no business advising any body on national security. Same goes for her husband.
??
Missed the factual reporting on that.
One can also argue (and it has been), what makes Trump qualified for the job, after all, he was never a foreign policy wonk.
Supreme Court, Supreme Court, Supreme Court. . .that is where Trump really saves this country. Can you imagine a hitlery SCOTU pick.
The airstrike.
he inherited the family real estate portfolio after his old man got thrown in the can for tax evasion.
Which of these is not a fact?
We're going after ISIS in both Mosul and Raqqa.
All you do is endlessly whine while ignoring the fact Trump has dramatically stepped up the attacks on ISIS.
“If there’s something that makes it impossible for her to address a conflict of interest in her White House role, wouldn’t that mean she shouldn’t take on the White House role at all?!”
This would mean at least 99.9% of all those serving in the Trump White House should be excused for a possible conflict of interest (or the mere appearance of a conflict of interest). . .and in that case, only pure politicians that never served in business world should be allowed to servce.
Get rid of her! Fat chance I know. She will bring DJT down with her whinny liberal outlook.
Since I wasn't privy to any of the specific intelligence provided to the President, I'm trusting his judgement, and that of his military and intelligence advisors on this one.
“She has no business advising any body on national security. “
And Trump was a businessman with no national security background.
Given a choice between Trump and hitlery. . .Trump wins hands down )even though hitlery has decades of foreign policy experience..
I weigh to believing it was a staged atrocity, albeit a real one, that ISIS designed by planting chem weapons in a bunker, putting children and babies inside and feeding info to a double agent to pass on to Assad of the existence of a rebel arms house.
And surprisingly I weigh in favor of the President’s action as long as the Swamp continues to be drained meaning Farkas, Rice, McCabe and the massive Muslim Spy Ring continue to be surrounded and trapped.
But what you point out is most crucual.
It doesn’t matter if Assad was fooled.
It doesn’t matter that the President busted and wrecked a lot of Syrian jets.
What matters is that he got an accurate intelligence report.
What matters is the chain of intelligence to the President is not compromised by the Deep State or by military-minded people that are itchin for a war to wage, or by neocons and globalists seeking dominion over access and influence to the President.
The President in military matters is allowed to play dirty, to lie and trick. Again, emphasis is on ‘military matters’.
The real question now is whether the President considered this action a ‘one-off’ or whether the country is dragged into more neocon crap like Lindsey Graham peddles constantly.
Enjoy the next 7+ years then :)
