Nosotros apologize, this video has expired.

Earlier he ever announced running for the White House, Trump often admonished the Obama administration's handling of Syrian President Bashar Assad, merely also warned against American involvement and bombing of the state of war-torn nation, specially without Congressional approval.

Trump's tweets and statements in the by three years put him firmly in the military camp of nonintervention — and gave no apparent indication that he would ever be open to reversing course if he one day became commander in primary:

May 2013: 2 years afterward the start of the civil war in Syria, President Barack Obama signals that he wants nations to support a no fly-zone over the state. Trump takes issue with dealing with Syria.

June 2013: Trump tweets nigh Syria that the U.S. should "stay the hell out."

The attack, which the West blamed on the Syrian government, raises concern over U.S. intervention after Obama previously said the use of chemical weapons would serve as a "red line" for responding.

Obama later says in a surprise move that he will seek Congressional authorization for airstrikes confronting the Syrian government. Trump tweets repeatedly that it'due south a fault to intervene in Syria and instead to focus on domestic issues.

September 2013: U.North. weapons inspectors report that chemic weapons were used in Ghouta, but don't conclude who was behind their apply.

October 2015: Russian federation is in the midst of coordinated airstrikes with the Syrian government with planes conducting several strikes a solar day, co-ordinate to reports. Civilians complain of widespread devastation. Trump is asked about intervening on MSNBC'south "Morning Joe."

"Expect, we accept Iran and we have Russia totally on the side of Assad. And that'due south not the reason I stay out necessarily, just certainly it'due south a complicating factor. Simply nosotros have them totally on the side of Assad. Nosotros have to knock the hell out of ISIS. And if we're going after Assad and ISIS and they're fighting each other, people are going to say what the hell are we doing."

December 2015: Trump says on "Meet the Press" that defeating ISIS must exist a priority over removing Assad from power.

"So Assad is not a good guy, but the people that we're backing, a lot of people remember they're ISIS, that we're actually bankroll ISIS. So what are we doing? We accept to get rid of ISIS first; Assad, we retrieve about after."

Russia says the planes belonged to Syria, and were hit a rebel workshop that housed chemical weapons — which is disputed past humanitarian groups. The White Business firm releases a statement alluding to some sort of action.

"These heinous actions past the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution. President Obama said in 2012 that he would establish a 'crimson line' against the use of chemical weapons and then did nothing."

"Yesterday's chemical attack, a chemic attack and so horrific in Syria against innocent people including women, small children, and fifty-fifty cute little babies, their deaths was an affront to humanity. These heinous actions by the Assad regime cannot exist tolerated."

April 6: Trump announces authorizing a war machine strike against a Syrian airbase in response to the chemical assault — the first of its kind specifically targeting the Syrian regime during this prolonged civil war. "Assad high-strung out the lives of helpless men, women and children," Trump said in remarks from Florida.
