the eagle in the presidential seal carries both an olive branch and a clutch of arrows, the power to make peace or wage war. before being elected, donaldepeatedly warned america's real enemy was not the assad government but islamist terrorism. i don't like assad at all, but he is killing isis. he said very bad things would happen if america got involved. that view has clearly changed. tonight, i ordered targeted military strikes on the airfield from which the chemical attack was launched. trump has consistently emphasised that the priority in syria should be fighting ices and even imply that one point during the campaign that assad could be a partner in fighting ices. he said that russia and assad are fighting is, so shouldn't we as well? so it was a stark turnaround just in the space of a week, a couple of days. the world is now trying to work out what our trump ‘s ambitions and triggers in the region and a purpose for american involvement. the problems in this attack is limited to the specific objective of punishing and deterring assad from using chemical weapons in the future. i think it will be effective for that limited objective.

"okay, i've got an idea. give me that hat." one white nationalist who's being sued by protesters, matthew heimbach, claims that trump should have to pay any damages because heimbach, "acted pursuant to the directives and requests of donald j. trump." so to sum up: a white supremacist roughs up protestor, protestor sues white supremacist, and instead of blaming minorities, white supremacist blames his problems on a powerful white guy. progress, baby steps. baby steps.
