In this April 6, 2017, photo, President Donald Trump speaks at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., after the U.S. fired a barrage of cruise missiles into Syria in retaliation for this week's gruesome chemical weapons attack against civilians. Before the U.S. attack on a Syrian air base, Trump accused his predecessor of doing nothing when Syria’s government used chemical weapons against its population in 2013. He’s right that President Barack Obama issued what amounted to an empty threat of military action. The circumstances, though, were more complicated than Trump described. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (AP)
