Funny you know Omaha did bomb Syria and guess what? Republicans said that was against the law and need congressional approval. Did they give it? No. Want to try again?

It was the first direct attack on the Syrian regime.


From CNN
On Thursday, US warships launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian government airbase, the first time the US has directly attacked the Assad regime in the country's six-year civil war.


So you want to try again?

And will the bombing of Syria be a positive or a negative? Time will tell.

What's ironic is that China was one of the countries listed that opposed the attack on Syria. President Xi was informed AFTER the fact during his visit to "The Southern White House". Awkward!! Can you guess what Trump was doing the day after the attack? Playing golf...

Trump isn't taking a salary so he can take days off when ever he wants. He also can't get paid time off if he works for free. Shame on you!

Planes were taking off from the struck airbase the next day and the same city that was hit by the chemical attacks was hit again with "normal" bombs.

We can put replacing Obamacare and lowering taxes on the back burner for now.

People say all the time that we are not the world police and we should stay out these type of things. I sure hope if one day our government decides to do something like that to us we get outside intervention.

I'm sure he got more details and images of what happened and changed his mind.

Over 93,000 of those killed were civilians. It wasn't until the recent chemical attack that the U.S. took action?

All I'm saying is that one of Trump's campaign promises to the American people was the U.S. first. Shows how little Trump knew about politics at that time. I'm also saying the bombing of the airfield did NOTHING! Symbolic gesture. Now what? Send in troops?

Did President Trump Have Diarrhea on the Golf Course?



A photograph purportedly showing President Trump with a brown stain on the back of his golf pants was digitally manipulated.
Trump loves to golf. He owns golf courses. Yet being the liar he is he couldn't help but lie and say I won't go golfing. I will hardly leave the White House. Knowing that wasn't going to happen. Obama golfed ZERO days in his first 100, Trump has gone golfing over 17 times. Trump is on pace to spend more on traveling in one year than Obama did in 8. That's on top of 1 million dollars a day to protect Melanie because she doesn't want to be around the guy. And even better, the secret service is charged a fee for staying at his resorts so we are paying for that too. Yet none of his supporters will admit the hypocrisy. It's crazy. This guy flips on everything and they make themselves look stupid trying to flip with him.

President Trump spotted golfing in Florida again!


President Trump was quick to criticize then-President Barack Obama for golfing, but that didn't stop him from hitting the course for the 16th time over the weekend.

The President was spotted golfing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. Sunday, according to reports.

Trump, wearing a white polo shirt and a red cap, left for the golf course around 9:30 a.m., according to White House pool reports. He was also seen hitting the links there on Saturday.


Like Obama, the current commander-in-chief is an avid golfer. Trump had regularly blasted Obama for golfing while in office, including a time when he criticized the former President for hitting the golf course instead of consulting with lawmakers about Syria.

"PresObama is not busy talking to Congress about Syria..he is playing golf ...go figure," Trump tweeted in 2013.
