Which … I mean … Good God how fucking inept was that, because we moved heaven and earth to defeat Hitler but Trump seems content to let Assad remain in power. Everyone knows the strike was a militarily ineffectual PR stunt, so if Spicer is out there saying Assad is worse than Hitler how the fuck is that supposed to make Trump’s response so far look comparatively acceptable?

Another part of the fractal wrongness of Spicer’s statement is that the US didn’t get into WWII because Hitler was a bad guy. Instead, there was this issue at Pearl Harbor that Spicer/Trump have probably never heard of.

Germany very stupidly declared war on the US shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack. If Hitler hadn’t done that, the “America First” types of the time may well have succeeded in getting the US to only engage vs. the Japanese in the Pacific.
