Michael Savage: Generals Have Changed Trump’s Mind on Syria


This week, the Trump administration claimed that the airstrike in Syria was necessary to protect American national security interests, but not everyone is convinced. Michael savage, for instance, believes that intervention in Syria is a no win situation.

Michael Savage spoke out forcefully against intervention in Syria and aggression towards Russia during both Thursday’s and Friday’s monologue segments of the Michael Savage Show.

Savage asked Thursday, “who got to you, Mr. President? Who is whispering in your ear and could have made you make this dramatic of a change towards Russia in just three days?” On Friday he condemned the strikes, saying “we just helped ISIS.”

Although his Thursday remarks were broadcast before the United States attacked a Syrian airbase, Savage warned against military action that would raise tensions with Russia, saying, “Do you want war with Russia, all of you idiots, all of you fools who are pounding the war drums?” Savage compared President Trump to President Woodrow Wilson, noting that Thursday was the 100-year anniversary of Wilson asking for a declaration of war on Germany. According to Savage, “Like Trump, Woodrow Wilson ran on an ‘America first’ platform. He was elected largely because he kept us out of the war in Europe. But someone got to him, too.”

In Savage’s opinion, it is “the generals” who are leading President Trump into military conflicts. At the same time, be believes key advisers are being pushed away from Trump’s team. Savage pointed to both Jeff Sessions and Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) removing themselves from inquiries into Russia, and also mentioned former Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon, saying “the generals have gotten to him and turned him from peace with Russia. And the people standing in the way of war, like Steve Bannon, are being shown the door.”

Of course, no one knows to what extent Trump will take this conflict. According to reports, the president chose the least aggressive position offered to him and has not committed to further action. Though it certainly appears as if Trump is willing to enter a foreign war at the moment, this may be a one-and-done warning not to mess with the United States.
