GUESSING GAME. Trump: Syria Attack Could Be 'Very Soon or Not So Soon!'

Source: The Daily Beast



President Trump appears to have eased his threats of an imminent attack on Syria, saying airstrikes “could be be very soon or not so soon at all!” On Wednesday, Trump reacted angrily to reports that Russia had vowed to shoot down any U.S. missiles directed at Syria, warning both Russia and Syria that the strikes “will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’” But the president was in a more cryptic mood Thursday morning, saying on Twitter: “Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our ‘Thank you?’” The White House National Security team is due to meet later Thursday to discuss its response to a suspected chemical-weapons attack in Syria’s Douma that killed scores of people.

He's attempting smooth over his screw up by mentioning ISIS as if the world owes him.

What a child.

About what types of missiles were coming to Syria, there's really no use sending them. Putin probably has the codes and can stop most of them anyway. The heads up Trump gave him was just so Putin could get ready to shot the missiles down.

Just because Trump didn't tell Putin when, it doesn't mean Putin is standing down. That more recent tweet Trump sent was an effort to look as if he hadn't tipped off Russia. Trump is so transparent. I can't believe he thinks people can't see what he's doing.

Traitor extraordinar.
