with the attack on the syrian people by assad, will this be the excuse for trump to exercise the ultimate power — to order people killed. with any response he makes, will trump appear to be the “strong leader” in a time of “crisis”.
lindsay graham and john mccain are pushing for an attack to ground the war planes of syria with graham claiming if trump doesn’t “act”, this would be “obama on steroids”.
the media is breathlessly playing into this warlike posturing and saying that trump will not be “working with” russia in search of a solution.
now, not trying to suggest collusion, but how better to redeem trump from his “russian problem” than to have him go head to toe against russia over this syrian atrocity.
i can’t help but wonder if assad is no longer “useful” to putin so this is a clever way to protect trump while building his presidential credibility.
maybe i am just getting too jaded nowadays, but something smells ...the timing, the talk of a u.s. ground war to topple assad (msnbc language just now), more limited strikes to take out planes or individuals...all to let the manchild play with his war toys.
are there no sane heads left in washington? and how will the rest of the world react to what ever actions the narcissistic buffoon may take.
trump just issued a statement that is filled with his usual simplistic bigly statements with no substance.
