Rachel Maddow: The World Might Think Trump Attacked Syria to Distract From 'Catastrophic Domestic Scandal'

Rachel Maddow sounded as if she was on the verge of tears last night after President Trump's address to the nation on Syria. She was not nervous about another potential war, per se, but because she feared that our allies might think that America was destroying deadly chemical weapons and trying to save lives simply to distract from President Trump's allegedly ongoing scandals.

"Point of personal privilege here just for a second. You know it is, this is not personal. It's not just spectacle. It is not just political as we follow the news and these incredible days that we have been having recently in our country. It is worth considering on a night like tonight that there are there are national security consequences to having a presidency that is as chaotic as Mr. Trump's presidency, a presidency that is as consumed by scandal and criminal intrigue as his presidency is," Maddow said right after President Trump spoke.

To be fair, Maddow makes some good points here. A presidency awash in chaos and scandal does make for dangerous national security consequences. If the alleged ongoing internal struggle in the White House is even somewhat true, one could understand how and why hurried decisions could occur. However, her concern was not about the planning process of this strike.

If she ever had any credibility to begin with, she lost the rest of it after the Trump tax return stunt.

Well since the "world" spent the last week lobbying the US to get involved here, including your Commie Pinko pal the French Pres, I would say you are full of shit.......as usual.

President Trump, the duly-elected leader of our nation, insists on doing the peoples' business notwithstanding the jackals.   Chemical weapons have been used against civilians,  by a government that is the puppet of an amoral nuclear power.   The strike was conducted multilaterally, by the three nations that have upheld Western civilization for centuries against the animals of darkness.

Maddow should be ashamed of the small part she plays every night to mock and destroy the good.
