2. The American public doesn't like Syria so it's a winner that way
3. The American public doesn't much like China or Russia. And both of them recently vetoed sanctions against Syria. So it's a sharp stick in the eye to China and Russia: it's a winner that way too
4. Extra bonus points: Trump stands up to Russia so wave away all that fake news about colliding with Russia !!1!11!
5. He can launch military attacks from his own ritzy property, while eating with another head-of-state so Mar-A-Lago really is just like part of the White House!!1!11!
