It doesn't do good to target a president in time of warfare, something he can't have planned for to fortify his position but he won't walk away from. However, if he keeps up his normal tweeting habit, he'll lessen any help he's going to get from the current US position, so if I was him him, I'd ditch the keyboard for a while.

People criticize his hypocrisy in slating Obama for warning of military action - so he literally contradicts himself and says he wasn't committing to firing rockets. He then fires rockets.

The Syrian government and its allies have absorbed a U.S.-led attack on Saturday and the targeted sites were evacuated days ago thanks to a warning from Russia, a senior official in a regional alliance that backs Damascus said.
Trump's longtime personal attorney went to federal court to stop prosecutors from looking at materials seized in a recent FBI raid. By LAURA NAHMIAS and JOSH GERSTEIN 04/13/2018 09:11 AM EDT Updated 04/13/2018 06:45 PM EDT NEW YORK — Lawyers for President Donald Trump and his longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen went to court Friday trying to stop federal prosecutors from getting at private material — but wound up with a judge ordering them to disclose Cohen’s client list in public. U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood on Friday ordered attorneys for Cohen to hand over a list of Cohen’s law clients and proof of their relationship by 10 a.m. Monday, so she can decide whether materials seized from Cohen’s office by federal law enforcement agents last week should be protected by attorney-client privilege. That list will be a public record, Wood said, because the identities of an attorney’s clients are not subject to attorney-client privilege unless the mere name itself would reveal the kind of advice sought or given. Wood’s order raises the possibility of further embarrassing disclosures involving Cohen, who is already at the center of a legal dispute involving adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, who is suing the president to void a nondisclosure agreement negotiated by Cohen concerning a sexual encounter Daniels says she had with Trump in 2006.

Even parking the hang-over from the Bush use of it, taking it on its own doe he really think anybody is going to believe that the problems are now solved? Now he is out this morning on twitter defending it, so even he realises it didn't come out well, but does he have no memory of history? The pictures look like they did some damage, bu they had nearly a full weeks warning that something was going to happen, plenty of time to prepare. Does anybody think they simply left everything in the open and prayed!

Every competent statesman and civil servant knows at this point of Trumps fragile ego and hair trigger, and doubtlessly knows how to manipulate or placate as necessary. Hard not to speculate that Comey intentionally used incendiary language to get Trump to overreact, take the heat off Mueller or even isolate him further from the GOP middleground. I refuse to beleive the head of the FBI doesnt know how to play the game. Probably a dangerous one, but given Comey did that already with the reopening of the Clinton investigation in the 11th hour of the election, he seems that type.
