How often have Mr. Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress berated President Barack Obama for allowing Syria to cross his “red line” without dire consequences? These allies lost more than 11,000 men and women killed; the United States, a dozen. Mr. Trump likes to preen and posture as a champion of American fighters. Mr. Trump said Monday that he now supports such sanctions. But if there is any coherence — or morality — in Mr. Trump’s position, he is doing a good job of concealing it.
