This happened on your watch Donald. Time to start acting like a president.

Donald Trump has issued an official statement on the latest chemical weapons attack in Syria:

But if the president was expecting widespread praise for his condemnation, it looks like he’s not going to get it. He’s facing some condemnation of his own — from both sides of the political aisle:

Presumably this means, "awful yes, but I never said there was a red-line, so don't expect anything from me." https://t.co/VVCpBejTI4

Why politicize and weaken an otherwise important rebuke of Assad with an unprovoked shot at Obama? pic.twitter.com/LCMJSrHV4v

President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!

Also Trump on 9/5/2013 telling Obama to ignore red line. https://t.co/0SOtcnJ1n3

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
Will that come back to haunt him?
he explicitly, repeatedly tweeted at Obama to take no action at the time. And now he's sad they took no action at the time?????
