    Press Secretary Sean Spicer issued an ominous statement Monday evening that says the U.S. “has identified potential preparations” for another chemical attack by the Assad government that it says “would likely result in the mass murder of civilians, including innocent children.”

    He says the activities are similar to those made before an April chemical attack. The Trump administration launched missile strikes in retaliation for that attack, which it blamed on Assad.

    Spicer warns that “if Assad conducts another mass murder attack using chemical weapons, he and his military will pay a heavy price.”

    The White House has provided no immediate evidence to back up its claims.

    A problem with the article is that the ‘original attack’ doesn’t seem to have ever happened. All the investigations concluded that it was a conventional attack on a building that had a basement storage are filled with cleaning supplies (like clorox bleach and ammonia) that are deadly when combined.

    Anyone who does any cleaning in their home also needs to be aware of what cleaning supplies not to mix.

    I hope Assad tries another chemical attack. Then, he’ll finally learn what Trump will do. He’s not as nice as no drama Obama.
