Allegedly the story that is being pushed by the Trump team is that Trump saw pictures of children in the after-effect of the gruesome chemical attacks, and those horrifying images are what pushed him to launch a missile strike.

I know there is a good chance it's a bullshit PR story like George Washington and the tree. Someone just made up to make you feel on his side emotionally.

But let's assume for a moment that it is a true story, shouldn't the president of the free world be less easy to manipulate than that? You're telling me that his policy and international action can be controlled by what sad imagery we make him see?

Not intelligence briefings or logical, reasoned, benefifical actions...but response to seeing sad photos of misery.

Could we make him anti-Isreal by showing him sad Palestine photos?
Could we end peaceful dealings with France by showing photos of French animal cruelty?

Is this the president or a housewife?

Pictures like that have existed for years. They won't allow those kids to come to the US to escape those fates, But we'll definitely blow things up for them! they've spent months, years, arguing that they shouldn't be allowed here and that they need to "solve their own problems".....Maybe if we tried to help them earlier dozens upon dozens of innocent children would still be alive right now....but TERRORISTS or something, right?
