Opposition to Trump’s Syrian airstrike continues to emanate from the far-right. This week, radio host Michael Savage claimed that military intervention in Syria is a no-win situation.
It’s an opinion that was shared by Trump until recently. After Barack Obama drew his infamous “red line” in Syria, Trump urged the president not to attack, saying that there was “no upside and tremendous downside.” In a separate tweet, Trump said that there was little to gain from military intervention.
AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA – IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013
But things have changed since Trump made those tweets four years ago. Bashar al-Assad has gotten more aggressive and Trump has access to more information now that he’s commander of the nation’s military.
Michael Savage seems to believe that people within the military have convinced Trump to change his tune — but hopes that the president will return to the position he had in 2013.

I like the good doc but i don’t agree with every one all the time on any thing!! But the doc’s a very smart guy and i will never stop listening to him!!! Rock on doc Savage!!!
Thats what differentiates us from liberals,we dont have to agree 100% all of the time. We can have those disagreements,and still work for the betterment of this country. My gut says this was more about a message, and ending the putins buddy story. Pres Trump has shown himself to be a smart,calculated type person. If he had wanted to really put it to Assad,he could of done alot more,as Mccain and Graham were pushing for. His comments the other day,were still on track with not pursuing regime change. As long as it stays like that,it’ll be a 1 and done. Unfortunately,those that are for ww3,are constantly making comments,as if trying to provoke something bigger,whether Trump wants it or not. I guess we will see.
Lmao ‘smart calculated ‘ omfg gargles swallow burp
