To be honest this does have a question mark over it, main reasoning being that with russia supporting them Assad was doing well, so why use chemical weapons? Why risk it?, I do think he had used them in the past mind you but when he was truly up shit creek.
There is no doubt in my mind trump only did this to boost his approval ratings.
Yes it does seem an idiotic thing to do if you are in Assads shoes, but dictators often make rash and costly decisions, look at Hitler attacking Russia and how he thought it would turn out. Russia wasnt by any means his only utter brain fart.
No question this was chemical munitions dropped by the aircraft that the Yanks say dropped them and from the base the Yanks have struck.
