spending $80 million and still a failure

Pr*sident Trump launched 59 Tomahawk missiles at $1.4 million per to con dumb Americans into believing he was a strong leader concerned about Syria gassing women and children. The same women and children he has banned from seeking asylum in the US. Naturally, they fell for the lie, at least, according to some polls. 

The real story is that the attack was an orchestrated event to raise Trump's approval ratings and to distract from his treasonous behavior with Russia to win the 2016 election. Trump notified Russia beforehand of the attack and evidence is emerging that Russia was actually trying to cover up the attack which they allowed Assad to conduct in the first place. Although no evidence has emerged, I would not be surprised if Putin did not advise Trump to make the attack as a way of deflecting from the scandal. Afterall, Putin and Assad could care less about killing innocent civilians and Trump being such a failure and egomaniac would jump at any idea to deflect scrutiny of his treason.

There is no coherent Syria policy from this administration and there never will be. The Trumpites are grasping at straws in Syria and now North Korea. They have moved Navy forces close to the North Korean region just for show and to create another distraction. There is no policy, no diplomacy, and certainly no justification except to distract from a failed presidency enabled by a corrupt House and Senate and a dumber-than-dog-shit voting populace.
