The chem attack, or subsequent missile launch?

It amazes me, that you don't see, as so many voters did, a person that isn't a political animal. Every action from Trump isn't dictated by optics. That was Obama's playbook. That's what Clinton does. Control everything. The attempt to control every little detail. To poll test, screen every action before taking that action.

Trump isn't like that. He witnessed an atrocity and took action. We can argue if it's right or wrong, but the man acted. It wasn't poll tested. He did what he thought was the right thing to do. He didn't draw a line in the sand, he didn't try to slough off the responsibility to the UN or to Congress. He acted because that's what leaders do, they act.  
Trump isn't a politician. He didn't grow up learning to say the right thing at the right time to reach the right audience. It's seriously a breath of fresh air. A man that does what he thinks is right because he thinks it's right.

What I don't get is why you so badly want him to fail. I didn't want Obama to fail. I want every President to succeed. I want them to make our lives better. While I might not agree with some policies, I look to the overall goal of their presidency. What I found, and it was incredibly fast, that Obama wasn't interested in doing what was best for everyone, He was driven to create a legacy. He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.  He and his people told Amazing lies. They obviously misused the government for their personal/political advantage. I hope Trump doesn't act like that. I don't think he will. Certainly he's going to make mistakes, misspeak, and act like a blowhard he can't help himself but deep down I really believe that his only interest is to make the country better for Americans.

So yes I do believe he saw an atrocity recognized that Assad broke his promises and he acted. So much more then Obama would have done. Maybe O would have called on the UN to do something...  Maybe he would have shed a fake tear before rushing off to play another 18..
