President Donald Trump tweeted this out at approximately 7 AM EST this morning.
Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

After years of living civilian life as somebody critical of Western interventionism into Middle-Eastern affairs, POTUS 45 is walking down the same path of his predecessors.
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!

We have wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Their government has zero appreciation. Let’s get out!

No matter who is elected President, the Military-Industrial Complex and the Swamp always get what they want.
If you had done your job consistently this would not have happened. Why are you such a wimp in the face of Assad and PUTIN https://t.co/Gj39tOjin5

If only more in Washington were as skeptical about Middle-Eastern politics as Thomas Massie, Rand Paul and Justin Amash.
Interview from one year ago – still applies. It doesn’t make sense that Assad would use gas, immediately after @realDonaldTrump announced we would pull troops out of Syria. Assad knows a gas attack would provoke US military involvement against his government. https://t.co/YMPFIlkXAg

It’s not too late to pass my 2013 bill “To restrict funds related to escalating U S military involvement in Syria.” https://t.co/438b5Oo5Od

realGeorgeWashington was right. The President has no Constitutional authority to make war without Congress… this includes strikes against Syria. https://t.co/9IkLcfNDw9

There is No congressional authorization to strike the government of Syria. #Constitution

Congress hasn’t authorized war against Syria. Unless Pres Trump expects imminent attack on U.S., use of force is unconstitutional & illegal. https://t.co/AY3EiVhGFq
