The recent events have clearly shown that there is a quite big difference between the stance on Syria of US President Donald Trump and just businessman Donald Trump or presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Lets check an example.
2018:
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 11 April 2018
2013:
Why do we keep broadcasting when we are going to attack Syria. Why can’t we just be quiet and, if we attack at all, catch them by surprise?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 29 August 2013
Interesting? Here you have more from 2013:
Don’t attack Syria – an attack that will bring nothing but trouble for the U.S. Focus on making our country strong and great again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 9 September 2013
President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your “powder” for another (and more important) day!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 7 September 2013
Obama must now start focusing on OUR COUNTRY, jobs, healthcare and all of our many problems. Forget Syria and make America great again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 11 September 2013
We should stop talking, stay out of Syria and other countries that hate us, rebuild our own country and make it strong and great again-USA!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 13 September 2013
Russia is sending a fleet of ships to the Mediterranean. Obama’s war in Syria has the potential to widen into a worldwide conflict.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 5 September 2013
AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA – IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 5 September 2013
What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 29 August 2013
We should stay the hell out of Syria, the “rebels” are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 16 June 2013
Remember, all these ‘freedom fighters’ in Syria want to fly planes into our buildings.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 28 August 2013
@walaa_3ssaf No, dopey, I would not go into Syria, but if I did it would be by surprise and not blurted all over the media like fools.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 29 August 2013
Let the Arab League take care of Syria. Why are these rich Arab countries not paying us for the tremendous cost of such an attack?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 29 August 2013
Meanwhile, in 2018:
Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 8 April 2018
….to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 8 April 2018
Or 2017, after a cruise missile strike on Syria’s Shayrat airbase:
Congratulations to our great military men and women for representing the United States, and the world, so well in the Syria attack.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 8 April 2017
Main Scenarios Of Possible Military Escalation If US Strikes Syria
What the fucking absolute joke. Just like someone started controlling him.
He is a coward. It is feared he may be killed by deep-state making the end of JFK. http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746
There’s no guarantee that Trump made the Tweet. The Intelligence Community can access any account.
This is hardly surprising. Indeed it was to be expected. For sure Trump is a total disappointment. No swamp draining visible here.
One point others might like comment on is this. In terms of the Eastern Mediterranean Russia is probably far stronger than it was in 2013. They now have land and sea bases that are well established. However the us navy is probably only at the same level as in 2013. So perhaps there is a shift in the balance of power. Anybody care to comment?
Yeah well, once in power…..
Boris Johnson used to be quite critical of foreign policy against Russia and Syria when he was just an MP. Then he became foreign secretary and immediately started to spout the same bullshit as everyone else. And I doubt that upon becoming foreign secretary MI5 (or is it MI6?) came by him with a big briefcase full of new information and said: Mr. Johnson, it’s time you learned the truth.

Jews. Not even once.
This annoys me to no end. Why can’t politicians just stick to the philosophy that got them elected? Why must they always be so weak-willed and let establishment warmongers brainwash them?
This whole affair is basically black-pilling me into losing all my remaining faith in democracy. Why bother voting when the same people (neo-con/liberal warmongers and globalists of the deep-state) will just end up in charge anyway? It’s the same farce everywhere in the Western world.
It’s like an un-treatable cancer at this point. I just don’t see anyway to prevent these kind of people from retaining power.
