There are plenty of reasons to loathe Trumpy without making crap up.
If he backs up his words, and takes some positive decisive action to rid the world of a fiend who uses chemical weapons on innocent people, I will applaud him for it.

So we just let Assad do what he likes?
As sad as it is to say, yeah, pretty much. However bad Assad is, he’s a lot better than Isis. The best we can hope for is when/if Assad and Russia have defeated Isis, he can be pressured into stepping down. Stalin was a monster too but when faced with something even worse, the west has to go with the “Enemy of my enemy, is my friend” rational. It’s all very depressing.
