The internet rains scorn on Trump for provoking Russia in one tweet and sucking up to Putin in the nextTRAVIS GETTYS
11 APR 2018 AT 08:16 ET
President Donald Trump provoked Russia Wednesday morning on Twitter and threatened a missile attack against Syria, but then changed course less than an hour later with a conciliatory tweet.
The president challenged Russia with smart missiles and called Syrian leader Bashar Hafez al-Assad a Gas Killing Animal, but then abruptly changed his tune.

Twitter users pounced even quicker than Trump reversed his position.
