President Donald Trump is suggesting that Syrian President Bashar Assad may have to leave power after this week’s chemical weapons attack.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said Thursday that what happened in Syria is “a disgrace to humanity.” Asked if Assad should go, Trump said, “He’s there, and I guess he’s running things so something should happen.”
The president would not discuss what, if anything, the United States might do in response to the deadly chemical attack. He said the attack “shouldn’t have happened, and it shouldn’t be allowed to happen.”
Trump said he may talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the situation in Syria. Russia is a key supporter of the Assad government.

What happened in Syria – the nerve gas attack – is not a disgrace to humanity, it is a crime against humanity. The only disgraced humans are (a) the ones who perpetrated the attack, and (b) the ones – generally world leaders – who can do something to stop it but don’t. Now, who might that be? Putin? May? DeGaulle? Richard Blaine?
