In this April 6, 2017, photo, President Donald Trump speaks at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., after the U.S. fired a barrage of cruise missiles into Syria in retaliation for this week's gruesome chemical weapons attack against civilians.

He’s right that President Barack Obama issued what amounted to an empty threat of military action. The circumstances, though, were more complicated than Trump described. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
