The US paid white hats where on the scene for propaganda purposes. If it’s not Sarin gas then it was centrally planned and executed by the deep state probably to trap Trump and keep the focus away from Rice. Trump’s done the smart thing by being the first to condemn Assad. It defangs this trap.
Game. Set. Match.
Trump's instincts are uncanny. They thought they had him with the "wiretap" business, but as usual, he was ten moves ahead of them.
