President Trump: Person of the Week

Claim To Fame: 45th President of the United States

Why He's The Person of the Week: for teaming up with France and the UK to launch successful strikes on Syria to retaliate for a suspected chemical weapons attack and for pardoning former Dick Cheney Chief-of-Staff Scooter Libby.

Trump announced Friday night that he ordered precision missile strikes in conjunction with French and British allies against the Syrian government. The President noted that the strike was underway in areas in and around the Syrian capital of Damascus were struck. In proof that the mission met its target, yesterday the Pentagon announced that the Syria strikes hit the ‘heart’ of the rogue nation's chemical weapons program.

As for Libby, known as "Scooter," who was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in 2007 in connection with the overblown leak of a CIA officer's identity, Trump did what George W. Bush should've done while he was still President: grant Libby a full pardon. Bush had commuted Libby's sentence but did not issue a full pardon. "I don't know Mr. Libby, but for years, I have heard that he has been treated unfairly," Trump said in a statement from the White House.

Barack Obama Sends 250 More Troops To Iraq

Conservatives and general people-in-the-know can easily recall how the Left and their chosen electable puppet Barack Obama politicized the U.S. presence in Iraq in 2008, ignored all the good that was done there and demanded that we leave with the quickness. And that we did, as after Bush was pressured by liberal mobs and the mainstream press into signing off on a massive troop withdrawal (which Barry gets all the credit for) deal, a major part of Barry's legacy (as told by the Left, despite the facts) is him solely getting us out of Iraq. But fast forward to 2016, Iraq is back in horrible shape, ISIS has grown into a dominant terrorist organization and now we have over 4,000 troops back in the region. Funny that.
