As the globalist neoconservatives and former “anti-war” liberals bang the drums of war with Syria, President Donald Trump appeared to change his previously anti-intervention tone on Wednesday — much to the dismay of many of his supporters.
For the past four years, Trump has repeatedly demanded that the US stay out of Syria, so…
Here is a timeline of all of his tweets containing the word “Syria” since May, 2013:
On May 27, 2013, five days after the US Senate panel backed arming the rebels, Trump tweeted a question as to why Senator John McCain was in Syria — as well as what became his campaign slogan.
Two days later, on May 29, 2013, Trump tweeted, “Obama wants to unilaterally put a no-fly zone in Syria to protect Al Qaeda Islamists,” and stated that “Syria is NOT our problem.”
On June 15, 2013, the day after the US announced increased “military support” to rebels, Trump tweeted that they are as bad as the current regime — and that we should stay out of Syria. He also expressed his non interventionist “America first” policy by noting that we would gain nothing from what would cost billions of dollars, as well as our citizen’s lives.
On August 18, 2013, Trump quoted a tweet that mocked then-President Barack Obama for golfing as Syria, Egypt, and Iraq were burning.
On August 28, 2013, the week that rebel forces took full control of Ariha In Idlib Province as well as captured the village of Khanasir, Trump tweeted a reminder that the “freedom fighters” that the US has armed “want to fly planes into our buildings.”

Funny how everyone else but Trump is saying he is for war. Intervention may take other forms. Offer 100 million for his head, he’s on a plate or at least out of Syria by Monday. And we save money.
The neo-con takeover is solidified. DJT’s strength is domestic matters. Pretty simple explanation.
boxed himself in on the ‘red line’ question during the campaign.
My theory: Ivanka and Jared convinced him that intervention is in the country’s best interests.
Offer 100 million for his head, he’s on a plate or at least out of Syria by Monday. And we save money.
After that, ISIS take over.
I’m sure will be treated to posters telling us how this is a brilliant move by Trump.
Who in the heck is advising him? Is this all Tillerson?
Funny, that.
Whether the gaas attack was a self-inflicted false flag as I suspect or the real thing as the globalists claim hardly matters.
1. There is nothing we can do to make the situation better other than to support Assad. The alternatives to him are far worse.
2. Since we can’t make the situation better, it is not our problem.
I do not trust Jared or Ivanka!
If someone offers $100 million for out President’s head, it’s still a declaration of war by any nation who does so. The fact that Syria is weaker nation doesn’t change that. They do, however, seem to have some powerful friends. As long a we make this “our business”, then terrorist groups will find sympathizers across the globe.
He’s in charge and he sees a dictator killing people. He had a WHAT NOW moment.
Consider a lot of that is Iran and Russia as well.
I want to remain optimistic. One Freeper pointed out - perhaps Trump is going to ask Congress, John McCain, and Democrats etc... to declare war. If they can get the votes (which they can’t) Let them own it.
Obama did the same....Where’s the problem?
Easier to exterminate if only one enemy?
mad dog?
Isolation and who gives him intel along with their agenda. Deep state runs the government and gives him intel now.
I’ve decided that I don’t believe anything attributed to Trump until I hear it straight from Trump himself. The amount of disinfo, spin and fake news is just bizarre. He has long been noninterventionist regarding Syria, and it’s highly unlikely that he’s turned on a dime on the basis of highly emotional imagery, imagery that I happen to perceive as more than just a little theatrical.
