Amid reports of another chemical weapons attack in Syria, President Donald Trump has called out Russian President Vladimir Putin for backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a series of tweets Sunday.
Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price…

….to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!

President Trump also dished out some blame to Obama, referencing the former president’s “Red Line” threat against “Animal Assad”.
If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!

In case you’re a bit fuzzy on the details, Obama failed to follow up on his threat. Instead he passed the wand to Putin, who smiled and waved and made all kinds of assurances — then allowed Assad to keep his chemical weapons. Assad has used this weapon-of-choice against his own people on numerous occasions.
President Obama’s ‘red-line’ was a bluff, and his brokered deal was a lie
Meanwhile, Obama and his administration swore up and down that they stuck a deal to get 100 percent of the chemical weapons out of Syria. “This problem sits right in the lap of the Obama administration.” said Glenn Beck on today’s show. “We now know that President Obama’s ‘red-line’ was a bluff, and his brokered deal was a lie. He has empowered Iran, Syria, [and] Russia.”
