I had to google who Fareed Zakaria was. Then I tried to find a piece on where he said that Trump acted like a president when he ordered missiles to bombard Syria. I couldn't find that, but I did find the story that the US launched missiles in retaliation against Syria using chemical weapons.

Is that what you are talking about? For the rest, I can only see him talking againt Trump. What am I missing here.

I disagree with you that Zakaria was goading Potus to wage war. Since when does a right-wing president listen to the opinion of a left-wing journalist?

In fact, as far as I know, Trump only ever watched Fox News.

Twitter does search for hashtags automatically, which begs the question why would you use it? Did they ban everybody who used that hashtag? Or did you tag Buzzfeed? Or tag particular journalists?

I think it's important to realize that our words can cause a great deal of harm. While I realize that both the left and the right in America use verbal thuggery and harassment, it is, in my opinion, uncivilized behaviour, and the right uses far more of it than the left.
