DonaldAprilApril 13,2018Why was Trump—who loudly opposed bombing Syria during the Obama administration—eager to run this fatality-free attack even as it angered some of his staunchest defenders? Fascism expert Sarah Kendzior lays it all out in a new column for Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper."Mr. Trump’s condemnation of Bashar al-Assad is both disingenuous and self-serving," she writes.
