http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/eric-trump-russia-syria-strikes-237102<snip>
Syrias deployment of chemical weapons against its own people, and the U.S. missile strikes targeting a Syrian military air base in response, proved that there is no connection between President Donald Trump and the Russian government, Trumps son said in an interview published Tuesday.
If there was anything that Syria did, it was to validate the fact that there is no Russia tie, Eric Trump told The Daily Telegraph during an interview at the familys Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. Russia, the most powerful ally of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, has condemned the U.S. missile strikes and been critical of the U.S. president for ordering them.

The presidents son, who along with his brother Donald Trump Jr. has taken control of the familys significant business empire, defended his fathers past position that the U.S. might be able to warm relations with Russia and said his father wont be pushed around by Russian President Vladimir Putin. He added that the presidents about-face on the issue of Syria Donald Trump was publicly against any intervention there following a similar chemical weapons attack during the administration of former President Barack Obama came after seeing a nations leader use chemical weapons on his own people.
If they disrespect us and if they cross us, fine. There will be no one harder he has got more backbone than anybody. Were no worse off than we were before. Maybe were finding that we cant be, Eric Trump said of Putin. [The president] is not a guy who gets intimidated. I can tell you he is tough and he wont be pushed around. The cards will shake out the way they do but hes tough.

They are still very worried about the Russia connection, in my opinion.
