I’m my own strategist, and it wasn’t like I was going to change strategies because I was facing crooked Hillary.” ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > [Eric says Ivanka influence Daddy to bomb Syria.](https://theintellectualist.co/eric-trump-ivanka-influenced-dad-bomb-syria/) > > So, in other words, Ivanka was the last person he spoke to. Here’s a clip from an interview Trump did with Fox Business that will air tomorrow about the evil EVIL things Assad has done. It’s like he’s never heard of or seen such things - bombs! no arms, no legs, no face! - and from a man who didn’t give a shit about Assad a week ago. Definitely Ivanka is behind that. And I can honestly believe that he has never given a single thought to any of it before. And will promptly forget about it when someone else gets his ear. > **[Fox News - Breaking News Updates | Latest News Headlines | Photos & News...](https://www.foxnews.com/)** > > Breaking News, Latest News and Current News from FOXNews.com.
