I don't believe for a moment Trump was moved by the poisoned children. [View all]

I don't believe for a moment Trump was moved by the poisoned children. If he was he would be willing to take some of em in. I can more easily believe he did it to distract attention away from his myriad controversies and abysmal polling numbers. I can also believe that a limited strike against Assad for gassing his own citizens is an action a President Clinton, a President Sanders, or a President O'Malley could have taken. As an aside that is why the America Firsters are apoplectic. I can hold all those ideas in my mind at the same time.
