He is no longer known as private citizen, Mr Trump, but President Trump with big key decisions that impact the rest of the World. Even his own base has pointed out they want the 2013 Trump back and not to attack Syria, but I think there needs to be action personally, we cannot keep sitting back watching an evil pig, gas his own citizens and a rogue country, aka Russia block every attempt to sort the issue out once and for all.

It's pretty worrying if that were the reason. Can't have military actions provoked because the President is upset.
I think action needs to be taken but I think Russia are too entrenched in Syria now. On Sky News a guest pointed out that the Russians have Russian-manned anti-aircraft guns. Would the US attack those? Would they risk ignoring them and, if so, would Russia attack the US to stop them attacking Syria?
Maybe the die was cast back when Parliament voted not to go with the US in supporting anti-Assad air-strikes - Labour voted against - which undermined the US ability to go in.
Further economic isolation of Russia might be an answer. The Russian economy did take a bad hit after they invaded Ukraine and how long can Putin maintain strong control if he loses support of powerful, rich, Russians?
