Isn't it laughable that in 2013 following Assads use of chemical weapons both Trump, and Paul Ryan, opposed military strikes. Of course, that was when Obama was President, and it was much easier to denigrate him for not doing so. Now they say:

"Donald Trump has said the
US missile strike on a Syrian air base was launched because preventing the use of chemical weapons is “in the vital national security interest”.
But he was publicly opposed to military intervention when
Barack Obama made the case for military action against the Syrian government four years ago.
“Again, to our very foolish leader, do not attack Syria – if you do many very bad things will happen and from that fight the US gets nothing!”
wrote Mr Trump in capital letters on 5 September 2013.
Two days later, he
added: “President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your ‘powder’ for another (and more important) day!”
Mr Obama said a chemical attack carried out in August that year was “a crime against humanity, and a violation of the laws of war”,
but decided against intervention after he consulted Congress, who did not support the air strikes." (And they have used that decision against him ever since.)
