Some of President Donald Trumps staunchest backers tore into his decision to attack Syria late Friday night, arguing it was unnecessary, reactionary and even Clinton-esque.

We lost. War machine bombs syria. No evidence Assad did it. Sad warmongers hijacking our nation, tweeted conservative author and radio host Michael Savage. Savage also posted a video discussing the missile strikes, tearing into Trumps decision.
There was a clear sense of disappointment among a certain strand of Trump supporter as the president announced a precision strike against the regime of Bashar Assad on Friday in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack last week.
