"A large portion of Trump's base voted for him because they were convinced that he would fight against the "deep state," however, Trump has continued the wartime policies of Obama and Bush, despite making empty promises on the campaign trail."

Trump has filled more campaign promises than any president in recent history if you ask me. Assad's more than likely right though when it comes to decisions on Syria....that game plan was in play way before Trump came along, to far gone for intervention on Trumps part.
