A new book has revealed that US President Donald Trump allegedly demanded the assassination of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after a 2017 chemical attack that Washington blamed on Damascus.

According to an excerpt from the book by Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, the US president told Defense Secretary James Mattis that he intended to assassinate the Syrian leader, after Washington accused the government in Damascus of a suspected chemical weapons attack against the militant-held village of Khan Shaykhun in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib last year.

"Let's … kill him! Let's go in. Let's kill the … lot of them," Trump told Mattis on the phone.

Mattis reportedly told Trump he would get "right on it" in an apparent attempt to pacify the president, but hung up the phone and instead told a senior aide, "We're not going to do any of that. We're going to be much more measured," Woodward wrote.

The US national security team then prepared a plan for a more conventional airstrike that Trump ultimately ordered.

The Washington Post journalist also said the defense secretary had marveled at the time at Trump's ignorance on foreign affairs and told close associates the US president had the intelligence of "a fifth- or sixth-grader."

On April 4, 2017, a suspected sarin gas attack hit the town of Khan Shaykhun in Syria’s Idlib Province, killing more than 80 people.

Trump is nothing but a neo-con stooge. He may be pissing off the globalists and the democrats, but he is always a "representative" or better a puppet of american imperialism, zionism and military complex. Willing or not.

I'm no trump fan but could it be that Trump knows damn well he was being recorded  and was just saying shit to throw deep state listeners off course? I don't trust Trump but one thing I think is being overlooked is other than Trump blowing hot-air,  he is standing down  on supporting  terrorists.  Might be too early but i still wonder  if he wants to limit  US foreign  intervention.  Think about it.. The Zionist owned  Congress  and media want him gone and there  is obviously  a reason.  Or  this could all be just more order out of chaos /misdirection  bullshit. Regardless... Eyes and brain pans wide open, folks.

Woodward is scolding the POTUS about his staff? And 5:02 before Woodwrad reveals that someone else is on the line. Not something I would do. I have to agree with Trump, it doesn't matter that much. Trump has the luxury of a secure base of support and he knows it.

All the Presidents Clintons , Bushes and Obama all did think the same! But somehow assassinations  is considered illegal and murderous yet setting wars is not!
Yet they have done it and this administration has just assassinated the president of Dombass! Both killing through assassination and through wars is criminal and murderous. The history of the western powers , and Israel are all very evil!!!!

They talked for at least 10 min. but no questions or no "well let's chat NOW" not a question about the atrocities of Zionist israel or all the wars the U.S is fighting for Zionist israel. Trump is surrounded by Zionist Jewish Supremacists, these people are evil. No more war for Zionist israel.
