45 Moving in the Right Direction?

There's so much going on these days - Neil Gorsuch, Bannon vs Kushner, Syrian Chemical Attack Victims, Bombing Assad's Regime, Meeting with Chinese Leader, etc.  Instead of watching all the channels (MSNBC, CNN, Fox, etc), I've been narrowing it down to CBS Nightly News at 5:30 with Scott Pelley.  It's only 30 minutes of news (20 without commercials) and little to no commentary.  I still peruse the news sites, but I can't do the daylong news channels anymore... especially with the Giants back (and losing).

Today I'm focusing on 45's decision to bomb Assad's air fields.  My initital reaction was that it was the right move; I'd even heard Hillary mention that this should be done hours before it happened.  I was still annoyed with 45 for blaming the Obama for letting Syria go a few years back because it was 45's Russian buddies who were supposed to ensure Assad got rid of his chemical weapons.  So in short, it seemed like the right move to make even if he had to go and muck it up by blaming Obama beforehand.

If you watched this video on the recent history of Syrian conflict, you'll see that it's very complicated...  And now I'm wondering if this was really the right move done for the right reasons.  Was it just emotional because 45 saw pictures of dying children and babies?  Did he just need a "good day" that most Americans could get behind?  Where was his compassion when declaring a ban on the refugees?  Or when he tweeted a few years back for Obama to stay out of Syrian conflict?  45 is unpredictable, impulsive and impressionable.  One day he's "America First" and non-interventionist... The next he's bombing Assad's air field because there was footage of children and babies dying.  His behavior is probably a reflection of the Bannon vs Kushner conflict in the White House.  It's no secret that I can't stand Bannon and his alt-right racist Breitbart website; and Kushner is a moderate Democrat.

I think Bannon got 45 into office with his nationalist alt-right supporters... but 45 also knows that he lost the popular vote and his approval rating has been sitting pretty low, probably because of all the advice he's taking from Bannon. Perhaps Kushner is the one to get 45 to be more of a President for the people (not just the alt-right Bannon/Breitbart/Limbaugh/Hannity/O'Reilly lovers).  If this is the case, I'm hoping Kushner wins the battle over Bannon.  If the investigations into whether the Trump administration colluded with Russia during the elections proves them innocent, then I'd rather Kushner have 45's ear than Bannon.  This would be better for the country and world overall.  None of them may be qualified to run the country, but that's what we have to work with for now.

There is definitely a lot to handle as President, and I'd never want the job. While 45 may have made the correct decision this time, I still don't trust him to make the right decisions for our country and world.  I'll continue to pray that he listens to the advisors that are more moderate instead of Bannon, and that there are actual spiritual advisors who can move him to have a more Christ-like heart.
