Robert Reich on dt's decision to bomb Syria
Robert Reich ·
Just as they did with Trump’s non-shouting address to Congress a few weeks ago, pundits are describing Trump’s decision to bomb Syria as the first time he’s acted “presidential” and lived up to the expectations of the office.
Rubbish.
Reversing existing policy to impulsively bomb another country after seeing footage of dead Syrian children on Fox News is not acting presidential.
If the sight of the dead children really did affect Trump, he would have paired his bombing with an announcement about admitting refugees so they won’t be subjected to further threats from the Assad regime.
And he would have responded to the pleas of the Newtown, Connecticut School Board to acknowledge that 20 children and six adults were murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, and denounce his supporter, Alex Jones, who continues to claim the tragedy was a hoax.
Trump isn’t acting presidential. He’s still acting like Trump – impulsive, vindictive, superficial, inconsistent, and hypocritical.
