After a very murky report of a sarin gas incident on McCain’s mercenaries in Syria, all of a sudden Trump supports regime change and, with Hillary Clinton’s recommendation, launches a missile attack on Assad’s government. Influential Trump supporters feel betrayed and slam the decision.
In the video below, outspoken veteran and former Trump supporter Angelo John Gage expresses his disgust over the Syria missile attack directly to Trump on Twitter. This sentiment seems to be growing among influential Trump supporters who believed his promises to stop foreign interventions and focus on re-building America.

Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars also stated last evening “I’m officially OFF the Trump train.” after the illegal strikes against the Syrian government.
I guess Trump wasn’t “Putin’s puppet” after all, he was just another deep state/Neo-Con puppet.
I’m officially OFF the Trump train.

Watson must’ve got a call from upstairs because he walked back his rhetoric this morning, accusing the “fake news” misunderstanding him.
I am off the Trump train in terms of Syria, which I will criticize, but I have not “turned on Trump” as the media claims. Fake news.

To Watson’s credit, he is standing up to neocon pressure:
Guys, I can’t vehemently oppose destabilizing the Syrian government for 6 years and then support it just because Trump did it. Sorry.

Even Stefan Molyneux managed to get in some blows against Trump. Molyneux says attacking Syria is a huge mistake.
Welcome back to reality fellas.
Previous cheerleader for Trump, Ann Coulter, tweeted this after the attack and has been a shark in the bloody water ever since:
Trump campaigned on not getting involved in Mideast. Said it always helps our enemies & creates more refugees. Then he saw a picture on TV.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) April 7, 2017
and…
If only McCain, Lindsey or Graham would run for president themselves, we could see how popular bombing the Mideast is!!! … Wait — what? https://t.co/v4gGmq9MuB

But perhaps Trump is his own best critic in previous tweets to Obama about Syria:
AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA – IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013
What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.
