    Default President Trump: Syrian Attack 'Crossed A Lot Of Lines For Me'

    President Trump condemned the horrific chemical attack in Syria that has been blamed on its president, Bashar al-Assad, signaling a shift in Trump's approach toward the country's controversial leader — but didn't elaborate on how the U.S. would respond.

    "It crossed a lot of lines for me," the president said during a Rose Garden press conference on Wednesday with Jordan's King Abdullah. "When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, little babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal that people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines, beyond a red line, many many lines."

    Trump doubled down on his criticism of the Obama administration's approach toward Syria, but said that the attack which has killed at least 72 people "had a big impact on me" and has changed his approach toward the country.

    "It's very, very possible that it's already happened, that my attitude toward Syria and Assad has changed very much," Trump said.

    As NPR's Tamara Keith reported Tuesday, Trump's blame of former President Obama for not acting after Assad crossed the "red line" after chemical weapons were first used was at odds with what Trump has said in the past, when Trump argued the U.S. should not get involved in the conflict.

    He talks a lot but does very little. He's becoming a disappointment for me.

    Indeed. I stopped listening to anything he said awhile ago.
    Anyway, the Syrian govt really fucked itself this time. I'm not sure why they thought they could do this and get away with it.

    This is a running list of the promises President Trump made on the campaign trail, and has kept in his 73 days in office, 1/41 of his presidency. Barely any of them have been reported on because of this bullshit Russia conspiracy that is swallowing the MSM. He has literally "Done more in 73 days than Obama did in 8 years." This is not only a running list of promises he has kept so far, but also things he has done that weren't even promised on the campaign trail. MAGA. (I will be updating this daily, whenever a new initiative comes to light.)
    PROMISES MADE AND KEPT SO FAR:
    Campaign Promise 1: To replace Antonin Scalia with a like-minded justice from a list of 20
    The Nomination of Neil Gorsuch who is one of the most qualified people ever nominated to the SCOTUS whose nomination to the 10th Circuit Court was unanimously approved by Republicans, and Democrats including Cuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden in 2006. And before the opposition says "but, Merrick Garland" tell them to look up up the Biden Rule
    Campaign Promise 2: To suspend immigration from terror-prone countries
    Trump has attempted to enact a Travel Ban that is 100% CONSTITUTIONAL AND is made from the seven (six, now) "countries of concern" outlined by the Hussein Administration. This has been blocked by an extremely liberal Hawaiian judge who was appointed by Obama. (The blocking of this travel ban might piss me off more than anything that has happened during his presidency, because judges should be blind to politics, but that is proving to be false.) Hopefully this will go to the Supreme Court and be overturned quickly.
    Campaign Promise 3: To defund and crack down on sanctuary cities
    Trump has implemented a YUGE crackdown on sanctuary cities, threatening to defund them
    Campaign Promise 4: To revive the Keystone Pipeline and Dakota Access Pipeline
    The revival of the Dakota and Keystone XL Pipelines creating American jobs
    Campaign Promise 5: To pull the US out of the TPP, an Obama-era trade deal detrimental to the US
    Trump pulled us out of the TPP which would have been absolutely disastrous for the US
    Campaign Promise 6: DONALD TRUMP LOVES WOMEN AND WANTS TO HELP WOMEN!
    Trump has signed an Executive Order promoting women in STEM jobs (careers real feminists strive for, not "dance therapy" feminists)
    Trump has Launched a Council empowering female leaders and female entrepreneurs
    Campaign Promise 7: To renegotiate, or pull out of Bill Clinton's terrible trade deal, NAFTA
    Trump met with Justin Trudeau (what a joke) to discuss the tweaking of NAFTA to benefit the US more, after he threatens to leave it
    Campaign Promise 8: To undo ridiculous Obama-era federal agency regulations
    Trump ordered a two-for-one repeal for all new regulations enacted by federal agencies
    Campaign Promise 9: To rollback Obama-era regulations on small businesses
    Trump has rolled back ridiculous Obama-era regulations that have made it nearly impossible for small businesses to hire employees
    Campaign Promise 10: To help America's inner-cities deeply in need of rebuilding
    Trump has signed an Executive Order to give major funding to "Historically Black Colleges and Universities," helping out inner-cities immensely
    Trump's EPA granted $10 million to aid the Flint, Michigan water crisis
    Campaign Promise 11: To protect our policemen, the true everyday heroes
    Trump signed an Executive Order protecting our police
    Campaign Promise 12: To crackdown on illegal immigration and to BUILD A WALL
    Trump has implemented a YUGE crackdown on illegal immigration and he has started the WALL initiative
    Campaign Promise 13: To bolster our depleted military
    Trump has increased our military budget because we don't want to use our military, but want to be prepared to use it
    Campaign Promise 14: To enact a five year lobbying ban on government Officials after they leave office
    Trump has placed a five year and lifetime lobbying ban on government officials for when they leave office
    Campaign Promise 15: To crackdown on drug cartels and illegal drugs crossing the border
    Trump signed an Executive Order cracking down on drug cartels
    Campaign Promise 16: To revitalize the dying coal industry in the US
    Trump has enacted Joint Resolution 38 putting hundreds, if not thousands of coal miners back to work
    Campaign Promise 17: To create American JOBS and bring companies back to America
    Trump negotiated a deal with Carrier promising to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US.
    Trump has met with CEOs from huge companies to work on bringing jobs back to America
    There was an increase of 298,000 jobs in February alone (liberals will say that counts in Obama's fiscal year, but we know the truth)
    Trump met with Intel CEO who promised $7 Billion investment and over 3,000 high paying (not "shovel ready" bullshit jobs) in America
    Trump met with the CEO of Softbank who has promised 50,000 more American jobs and has already fulfilled 3,000 of those jobs
    -Kroger has promised over 10,000 new jobs in the era of Trump
    Campaign Promise 18: Pushing NATO allies to pay their fair share or face the reality of the US possibly leaving
    Trump has put major pressure on the members of NATO to pay their fair and equal share because there are only a handful of countries in NATO who currently pay as much as agreed upon
    Campaign Promise 19: To make America energy independent, relieving us from our dependence on foreign entities, such as OPEC
    Trump has taken major steps towards America's energy independence
    Campaign Promise 20: To enact a hiring freeze on government employees to help stop corruption
    Trump enacted a hiring freeze to all federal employees, cutting down on the over-bloated bureaucracy
    Campaign Promise 21: Trump could be the president that takes us to Mars!
    Trump signed a Bill allowing NASA funding, including an exploration to Mars
    Campaign Promise 22: To undo many of Obama's unconstitutional Executive Orders
    Rescinding (one of) Obama's incredibly unconstitutional actions regarding transgender bathrooms in schools
    Campaign Promise 23: The repeal and replacement of Obamacare. The recent GOP fallout of AHCA Plan was no fault of Trump's. The blame solely belongs to Speaker Ryan. He created a shit bill and couldn't even capitalize to get enough votes. Obamacare will crash in 2017 when individual mandates kick in and Democrats will be to blame. That is when Trump will truly work to Repeal and Replace it with a plan he promised us.
    Trump got rid of the idiotic penalty in Obamacare that fines you if you choose not to participate in the program
    Campaign Promise 24: To "Bomb the shit out of ISIS"
    He called for a drone strike in Afghanistan killing Qari Yasin, a Pakistani Al-Qaeda leader
    Campaign Promise 25: To not take a salary as President
    He donated his first quarterly salary to the National Park Service
    ACTIONS NOT PROMISED ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, BUT HAVE BEEN PUT IN EFFECT:
    (Even though it was Mike Pence) The defunding of clinics that perform abortions. Because no matter whether you are pro-choice/pro-life, the government should not be funding abortions. (Also, if people bring up the Hyde Amendment which is supposed to not let any federal funding go towards abortions, LET THEM KNOW that US taxpayers pay for about 24% of abortions despite of that "amendment")
    Huge spikes in the NASDAQ average index and the DOW average index starting November 8th. (This will count for Obama unfortunately, but we know where the real credit belongs.)
    He has placed sanctions on Iran after they tested ballistic missiles
    He has met with/talked to over 30 foreign leaders.
    Trump has moved on to tax reform, lowering taxes for Americans
    He negotiated down the Price of the new Air Force One one billion dollars in a meeting that lasted just one hour
    He issued major cuts to the costs of the F-35 saving billions
    He has opened the eyes of the American public to just how unbelievably corrupt (pretty believable to most) the Hussein Administration was.

    It's probably one of the most profoundly fucked situations since WWII.
    Could have been avoided if Assad didn't try to be macho like his dad. Going full retard and shooting and torturing unarmed protestors and activists. That being said, the only other alternatives are radical Islamists or kiros looking for the next piece of land to add to their giant unibrow of cantons.
