"Trump met with his national security team before his dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Mar-a-Lago Thursday, where he made the decision to pull the trigger on the biggest military action of his presidency, national security adviser H.R. McMaster said.
He sat through dinner with Xi as the action was under way.
The decision came two days after he was "immediately notified" of the chemical attack in Syria and asked his team to determine who was responsible. After it became clear Assad was responsible, Trump asked his team to develop options -- and settled on one Thursday after "a meeting of considerable length and far-reaching discussion," McMaster told reporters."
Yep, completely random (the base in question was, obviously, randomly linked to chemical attack by available random intelligence), utterly crappy (should have burned down the entire nearby city, I guess) attack with warning to Russians via deconflicting line (set up by Obama admin expressly to avoid hitting Russian troops) to show that you can be racist against... something? Was it racist against mass murder or was it racist against religion?
