Syria Strike Swayed By 'Heartbroken and Outraged' Ivanka
Source: NBC News
Donald Trump's decision to bomb Syria was influenced by his daughter, Ivanka, being "heartbroken and outraged" at the country's alleged chemical weapons attack, one of the president's sons told a British newspaper.
The president launched 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian government air base he alleged was involved in a chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of civilians last week.
Trump's 33-year-old son, Eric, told The Daily Telegraph on Monday that the strike was influenced in part by Ivanka, who he said she was "heartbroken and outraged" by the chemical attack.
"Ivanka is a mother of three kids and she has influence," Eric Trump said, speaking with the newspaper at Trump Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland. "I'm sure she said, 'Listen, this is horrible stuff.' My father will act in times like that."

(33,345 posts)she's been in a bubble of privilege her entire life. when something intrudes that she can connect to, she'll try and influence her dad on it. "dad, they gassed BABIES. I have babies! you have a baby, remember? his name is Barron? your son? remember, he lives in your golden condo in the sky?".
he's the worst person in the world. she actually makes him a little better, as sick as that is.

(1,129 posts)It was seen as an opportunity to justify issuing an ultimatum to Russia --- US or Syria---
1. Highly publicized "shake up" in Security Council gives appearance of moving away from Putin Bromance...
2. Timely arrest of possible election fraud related programmer.... but on criminal charges... (RICO?)
3. T-Rexxon is conveniently scheduled to go (without media entourage) off to see the Kremlin ..
What better way to create a sense of urgency, than to make it appear that the sanctions are slipping into permanency rather than elimination?
This puts Putin in a position to perhaps authorize the transfer of the ROSNEFT % to guarantee sanctions be lifted...
preventing him from dragging it out & possibly never happens at all...
Since it's easier to establish a RICO case when there is proof of a completed transaction loop...
Rather than circumstantial evidence of an INTENDED transaction loop...
And as Tin Hat as it may sound...
It is no further fetched than the "beautiful babies" bullshit.

(21,849 posts)If it is, it is extremely wrongheaded. The fact that a President would be swayed by his daughter's emotional appeals and not be guided by the good of the country reflects very badly on him and all around him.

Ivanka needs to leave the WH, get an education in
the ME history of the last 20 years, and learn how
to think in spite of emotions.

(90,773 posts)My sister cries and my father always reacts to her tears?
Seriously?
Fucking seriously?
Sounds like an old childhood grudge. Ivanka has only to cry to get her way! And she's only pretend crying now and she still gets her way! Daddy does anything she wants when she cries!
Obviously, tears never worked for Eric. He was probably told to "man up" regardless of how real the tears and hurt were.
3 kids! She has 3 kids and that makes her a foreign policy expert! Well, that and tears.
I need sleep. I have 3 dogs now and feel like starting a war with Costa Rica for not getting that free vacation I cried about.

(5,801 posts)When Daddy was pushing to throw 24 million Americans off health care, were you "heartbroken and outraged" then? No doubt there were many children in that group.

(23,105 posts)I call 100% BS. He has no cares for Syrian children and has already made that very plain. He didn't do this to hurt anyone, but to trick the media and the public into thinking he's actually taking action against Syria, when he didn't. This is a collusion between the dictator and dictator wannabe to throw us off their other collusion to successfully steal the election. he did nothing to hurt Syria, even avoided bombing the chemical weapons, runway or most of the planes. They used missiles from a co. that Drumpf is part owner in, so he profits from the bombing. Those 2 things are all he cared about in this pretend drama, deflection and profit. Along with criminality and ignorance, those 4 words pretty much define him.

And of course, Daddy isn't going to let down his precious wittle princess...
That's family you're turning on there, Erik. You're throwing your sister under the f'in bus. You're such a Fredo...
to think that the bombing had nothing to do with getting the Russia investigation off the backs off your dysfunctional family of grifters.
