In reply to the discussion: I don't believe for a moment Trump was moved by the poisoned children. [View all]lark
(23,785 posts)30. I agree.
This was a phony attempt to look strong and show fake distance between him and pootie. That they only bombed one airfield, and gave the Russians 4 hours notice and Syria removed all their important equipment and personnel, and that they didn't bomb the runways just shows this was all done for political reasons. Even Russia's protests sound staged, and Assad bombed the exact same village using planes from the airfield we supposedly bombed to bits also shows this did nothing except fluff drumfp. He doesn't give a shit about the children. When specifically asked about Syrian children and even babies not being allowed refuge here, he said previously they could be terrorists too and weren't allowed in.

Nor do I. Narcissists don't suddenly become empathetic. They know how to act to manipulate others.

I don't think he ever paid any attention to the pictures in 2013 or those poor migrant kids

of course, unless he's so senile he can't remember his own positions, which is possible
