LOOK: White House Releases Photo of Trump and Team Receiving Updates on Syria Strikes – Look Familiar?
Twitter Has Lots of Reactions
The White House wasted no time in releasing a photo of President Donald Trump and top officials receiving briefings during Thursday night’s attack on a Syrian military airbase. The strike of 59 Tomahawk missiles was a response to President Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons on his own citizens, a war crime.

@jimsciutto Plagiarism again on Trump’s part. Project and Plagiarize – two things he is definitely good at doing. That’s about it.
