This is amazing. If there were the slightest doubt that Assad was responsible it would be the perfect tool for the left to attack Trump and divide his base. No one on the left is doing that.

Yet many on the right are volunteering to divide the base without a shred of evidence that does cast doubt on Pres. Trump.

Exactly.

It can only be ascribed to people indulging their NeverTrump impulses.

It's needlessly divisive, in a time when unity is of paramount importance.

If real evidence surfaced that Assad did not commit a Sarin gas attack I would have no problem being critical of Trump’s decision.

Since none of us here have any real evidence either way that makes it a 50/50 proposition from our cheap seats POV. That puts that question 100% in the realm of speculation.

Apparently some would rather err on the side that Trump is easily led/naive/a globalist/a liar/etc. I think you’ve pegged it.
