Though not optimistic trump’s advisers would do the right thing, if they show him it’s in HIS best interest to form a reasonable policy towards Syria, that would be helpful.

I don’t believe Trump is ever interested in or listens to reason.

He wants attention, power and money, in about that order. And he wants to dominate.

Tariffs are his attempt to dominate in financial negations. Mocking, name-calling and threats are how he tries to dominate the media, his political foes and yes, his supposed allies! He’ll do whatever he thinks benefits him re: Syria. And has the same motivation when it comes to any Presidential decision. What’s in it for him? Which includes: what satisfies his voracious appetite to dominate others?
