It makes absolutely no sense for Assad to do this except as a way of testing Trump
A very dumb move on his part
And Trump is sending a message to him and North Korea (The War MacArthur wanted to WIN )
Just like the starving children in Somalia and the atrocities in the Balkans the MSM would have been on it night after night
until Trump’s hand was forced
If Trump is not capable of ignoring the MSM, we might as well have nominated Jeb! or Marco.
