WATCH LIVE: President Trump Delivers Address on Syria

President Trump is set to deliver a speech tonight on Syria.

There has been much debate over what action the Trump administration would take in response to the recent horrific chemical attack in Syria.

Yesterday the President tweeted, “Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all! In any event, the United States, under my Administration, has done a great job of ridding the region of ISIS. Where is our ‘Thank you America?'”

A Wall Street Journal report from earlier today said Trump was “prodding” military advisers to “agree to a more sweeping retaliatory strike,” but Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis has been a little more cautious.

As the debate over what action to take continues, some of the President’s old tweets on this very issue have surfaced, including the following:

AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA – IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013
