Nigel Farage and other right-wing populists turn on Donald Trump after missile strikes
Telegraph UK ^ | 7 April 2017 | Helena Horton

Many former Donald Trump supporters have turned on the President after his decision to retaliate against the Assad regime for its chemical weapons attack.

Nigel Farage, Milo Yiannopoulos Katie Hopkins, right-wing vlogger Paul Joseph Watson, Ukip leader Paul Nuttall and Ukip donor Arron Banks are among the Trump supporters who have been disappointed by their hero.

Mr Farage said: "I am very surprised by this. I think a lot of Trump voters will be waking up this morning and scratching their heads and saying 'where will it all end?'

Not to worry! Trump will soon make it apparent why he would choose bombing rather than more practical solutions.

Besides, he will make it up by very soon cleaning his house and installing a few “Christians” around him for advice. I’m just a little tired of seeing and reading about the children.

> I’ve disagreed with a large number of things he has done but support him on this.

I agree. He told everyone that our leadership style no longer involves staring at everyone else’s ass. No more “leading” from behind. We’re not even building coalitions. Join us or don’t - Nikki Haley already told them we’re keeping track.

This was about a message, not damage. Our military could do WAY more damage if the goal was to harm Assad/Syria. And the message was seen by every country - friend, foe, and other.

Never underestimate the power of Trump holding two contradictory opinions at once, and his supporters and detractors not to notice.

If he’s killing ISIS and ‘Rebels’ I’m good with that.
After what “Arab Spring” morons did to Daffy, if I were Assad I’d be ready to depopulate over half the country to stop them from doing the same to me or my family.

But this attack was just plain stupid. The chemical attack was likely a false flag op and Trump is unnecessarily pissing off the Sov, er, Russians.

Unfortunately, the picture did’t reveal whether he was wearing his Sperry Topsiders.

Trump should attack the Syrian Rebels then, not the Syrian Government.

I think time will tell that this was the right thing to do.

Yes, it will. For the $100 million this cost, there are now three dead camels.

And I’m thinking he changed his mind because he is now in a position to receive the information necessary that would change his mind. I further think for him to change it so quickly he had to have gotten something so damning that it required a response.

If Kabuki theatre im 100% for that too. It’s about time we awaken from our slumber of weakness and tell the world once more we are not a country to be crossed and the ME best get their houses in order

I’m starting to feel the same way, and I have been vehemently pro Trump since day 1.

Extremely disappointing. It just doesn’t make sense.

HOWEVER, if he does nothing but build that wall and throw out a large amount of the illegals - America will live to fight another day.

If he doesn’t - he will be the worst President in history, and a on termer at that.

I was initially disappointed, but then realized that Trump is a genius, and it all made sense. Even if he KNEW this was a false flag, fully or partially, it is a 100% win to conduct this limited strike, as it achieves numerous goals to help his agenda:

(1) It makes him look tough and decisive to millions of Americans
(2) It makes an absolute joke of the very idea that he is beholden to Russia
(3) It rips the feckless Obama F.P. legacy to shreds
(4) It wins cheers from the #NeverTrump crowd, and may reduce opposition to tax reform and immigration priorities
(5) It brings the newly-arrogant Putin and Assad down several notches all at once by calling off their victory party and re-asserting American power in the region
(6) It restores morale to our military, which was at an all-time low according to Gallup, in Aug 2016

Now that Trump is President, he sees intelligence that he didn't have previously.

The world is not only a dangerous place, but it is interconnected in many ways.

Our enemies only understand and respect force...and, because of Obama, they had lost respect for the U.S. And that lack of respect created a vacuum of leadership in the world, making an already dangerous world even more dangerous.

Trump had to send a message. And he did.

He filled that vacuum of leadership.

Russia got it, Syria got it, ISIS got it...Iran, China, North Korea got it. Radical Islamists all around the world got it.

Our allies got it. The Deep State got it.

The U.S. is back.

(7) It makes China realize he may be serious about any threats to North Korea, if they fail to act

Now we know why there are areas in England the police or any “Englishman” will venture. The areas are owned by Muslims. Christians will not enter.
Since WWII the land across the Atlantic ocean have grown weak kneed men. They will not defend their women, children or their land.
