I’ve disagreed with a large number of things he has done but support him on this. Reason: the whole ME and world was watching to see what his response would be. After years of red lines, the US taking a backseat, the world and the Middle East have taken us as weak. I firmly believe Assad did this and maybe with Russian knowledge. As such I now believe the world now knows the leadership under this President is one to not be messed with. He sent a strong message yesterday. The 8 years of spineless leadership, weakness and imaginary red lines are over.
Israel is now sleeping better as a result
Warn everyone involved...make the play..sends a message to NutJob who is launching missiles in North Korea.
Pander to the Oh the poor children crowd.
Kind of looks like what happened.
Bingo!

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.
Except that he hit the wrong target.
The Israel First lobby rears it’s ugly head again.
“Israel is now sleeping better as a result”
And we should care about that because?
If Israel has a problem with Assad, let them do the dirty work.
I want Trump to focus on more important issues such as The Wall.
