Jahrelang lehnte Donald Trump eine amerikanische Einmischung in Syrien strikt ab. Seit 2013 setzte der heutige US-Präsident 18 Tweets zum Thema Syrien ab, bei denen er hauptsächlich die US-Politik und das Vorgehen Obamas kritisierte.
«Wir sollten uns verdammt nochmal aus Syrien raushalten. Die ‹Rebellen› sind genauso schlimm wie das aktuelle Regime. Was werden wir für unsere Leben und Milliarden von Dollar bekommen? Nichts.» Dies twitterte Trump 2013 als Obama den damaligen Chemiewaffen-Einsatz durch Assad bestätigte.
Knapp vier Jahre später ist es ausgerechnet Trump, der nach dem Giftgas-Angriff, militärisch gegen das Assad-Regime vorgeht.
We should stay the hell out of Syria, the "rebels" are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO

Remember, all these ‘freedom fighters’ in Syria want to fly planes into our buildings.

Why do we keep broadcasting when we are going to attack Syria. Why can't we just be quiet and, if we attack at all, catch them by surprise?

@walaa_3ssaf No, dopey, I would not go into Syria, but if I did it would be by surprise and not blurted all over the media like fools.

If we are going to continue to be stupid and go into Syria (watch Russia), as they say in the movies, SHOOT FIRST AND TALK LATER!

Let the Arab League take care of Syria. Why are these rich Arab countries not paying us for the tremendous cost of such an attack?

What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict? Obama needs Congressional approval.

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!

Russia is sending a fleet of ships to the Mediterranean. Obama’s war in Syria has the potential to widen into a worldwide conflict.

Many of the Syrian rebels are radical jihadi Islamists who are murdering Christians. Why would we ever fight with them?

If Syria was forced to use Obamacare they would self-destruct without a shot being fired. Obama should sell them that idea!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 6. September 2013
President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 7. September 2013
Don't attack Syria - an attack that will bring nothing but trouble for the U.S. Focus on making our country strong and great again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 9. September 2013
Obama must now start focusing on OUR COUNTRY, jobs, healthcare and all of our many problems. Forget Syria and make America great again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 11. September 2013
We should stop talking, stay out of Syria and other countries that hate us, rebuild our own country and make it strong and great again-USA!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 13. September 2013
The so-called ‘moderate’ Syrian rebels pledged their allegiance to ISIS after Obama’s address. We should not be arming them!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 12. September 2014
So Obama wants to bomb ISIS in Iraq & arm them in Syria? What is he doing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 17. September 2014
Do you believe that Obama is giving weapons to "moderate rebels" in Syria.Isn't sure who they are. What the hell is he doing.Will turn on us
