Donald Trump has told us he likes to be unpredictable. This art of the deal was on full display Thursday evening in Syria.
I have been writing for some time now about how Trump out thinks and out plans his rivals. He is a master chess player on the geopolitical stage, rivaling, or surpassing, the KGB spymaster, Putin. He prepares the battlefield before fighting. By the time he gets to the negotiation table, the deal is already done.
Vladimir Putin has needed an enemy to focus his people’s ire, to take their minds off their economic problems. This enemy, for the last decade, has been the United States. Enter Donald Trump, stage right.
Trump has been talking about working with Russia for two years. He has been offering an olive branch, saying “nice things” about Putin, to the derision of the Left and the Obama media. He has taken the arrows, and kept pressing, not reversing his course of wanting to have better relations with Russia, in spite of Chris Wallace and others making fun of him on their Sunday morning shows.
Now we know why.

In one brilliant stroke, Trump put Assad on notice, called out Russia’s support of this barbarism in a very public way, and frightened Iran, North Korea and China at the same time. Trump also drove a stake in the heart of the “Trump’s a Putin puppet” narrative.

Yes and yes.
I agree.
If the era of weakness is over, does that mean we are now in the era of “the beautiful little babies” because that was the message from the Presidents own words. Not a very strong message.
The Never Trumpers are like Charlie Brown and the football. Time after time they are denied their “Trump is finished” narrative. Just when they think they’ve gotten him, the football is yanked away and they fall flat on their butts. It’s gotten quite comical to watch, if you ask me.
Time to move along. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3542635/posts
