Obama got the Syrians to remove a lot of chemical weapons 

Obama got the Syrians to remove a lot of chemical weapons 

As the Trump administration and its supporters rewrite history, please allow me to put the Syrian situation in perspective.

When Barack Obama was president he got the Syrians to remove 1,300 tonnes of chemical weapons from their country. Yet we’re suppose to believe President Obama did nothing. If before removing those weapons he had attacked Syria the way Mr Trump did, toxic chemicals would have been released into the atmosphere causing a major health catastrophe.
Is it just a coincidence that Syrian President Assad used chemical weapons just a few days after the Trump Administration had assured him he had no reason to fear the United States? And is it possible that any of those children who died as a result of that attack might have been safely in America if not for Donald Trump’s anti-refugee, anti-immigration policies? And does anybody even care?
