I know he pulled the fuckin trigger. And if it's that easy, why didn't the "Weak One" that preceded him defend that line in the sand?
Here is a link to what I consider some informed comment on the Tommy Hawk strike. Commentary like this come in an aperiodic, but frequent, email on relevant topics.

Trump's expensive and illegal bit of dog-wagging did nothing to deter Assad, who launched another attack upon that same town from the airbase we struck. The net result of all this? Trump's Raytheon stock climbed by 2% in one day. Obama did it correctly... he sought congressional approval to conduct an act of war.
That airbase was scheduled for major upgrades by the Russians.... All Trump managed to do was to demolish some obsolete hangars and equipment for them at our expense... 100 million bucks worth. The runways, which the Russians and Syrians still want to use, were not touched. No Syrian soldiers or airmen were killed except by their own anti-missile artillery that missed their marks and exploded in unintended places. How anybody can see this as anything other than a wag-the-dog event by an unpopular idiot is beyond me. You really only have to ask yourself one question: does Trump REALLY care about Syria's "beautiful babies"? When you give yourself an honest answer you'll recognize that this was all for political show and nothing else.
