Well, it was Obama that drew the line in the sand ....and than did nothing. That's what Trump was talking about. Trump has said he is not President of the globe but of the United States. He also said that other countries have got to start handling their own crises. We can't be the savior all the time. We can't afford it. We are not going to do anything - that's right. So Basically - Trump criticized Obama for "saying" he was gonna do something and than did nothing and Trump's policy is to let other countries handle it. It is horrible what is happening over there and it's a shame that Obama gave them false hope.

And his kids are still flying to other countries and being protected on our dime. So if you are of the belief like him that we shouldn't care about the issues of other countries. Maybe we shouldn't be paying for his kids to be protected when
doing business in these other countries. Their issues aren't ours right.
2) Please tell me you didn't just come at Obama with he said he was going to do something and never did. With a country, another country. When your other defense is, we need to let them handle their own stuff. Yet, the guy you are defending has said he would do things for/in THIS COUNTRY. That he hasn't. And yet you aren't criticizing him. Come on. It's getting a little ridiculous.
3) You don't think that other countries have hope that America and Trump will help them? Or have they just given up on the idea now that he is in office and it's proven he doesn't really care about people. Unless they are his family, rich, or Russian. Because he did tell Putin that Russia had the full support of the US government in getting justice after their tragedy. But with Syria, it's well let someone else handle it.
4) Trump's policy isn't working so far. I mean he had a failed mission that got a SEAL killed. You have bombings killing hundreds of innocent civilians. If this were done under Obama, you would say he was acting too fast and it was wrong. How do I know? Because we saw how bad he got it for using drones to try to hit calculated targets. And never once did a mission kill hundreds of civilians and he still was attacked.
5) Again, what the hell kind of reasoning is: well Trump told him not to do anything. He didn't do anything. But he said he was going to do something and never did. So now he's weak. Furthermore, now he's the reason for something that happened on Trump's watch. And Trump is ok because he's not doing anything which was weak before. But he's strong because Trump is telling you he's not doing anything. Gotcha. That makes perfect sense.
And this is why I say the hypocrisy is what keeps me from ever getting to a point of understanding with Trump supporters. You guys never point to the hypocrisy that's spewed. If you can't see in something as simple as this, I have to believe you will never see it.
