Story highlights Gorka said Trump's perspective is different as presidentTrump's past tweets arguing against intervention in Syria resurfaced Thursday(CNN) Deputy assistant to President Donald Trump Sebastian Gorka said Friday that Trump's past tweets arguing against military action in Syria shouldn't be held against him because Trump wasn't president then. "You may have great ideas about what it means to be a parent, but you have no idea what it means to bear the responsibility once you have children. Gorka said Trump's perspective is different as president. "That's what experience tells us, and to judge based on statements they made when they were not in that position of responsibility." Trump's past tweets arguing against intervention in Syria resurfaced Thursday, when Trump ordered a missile strike on a Syrian airfield in response to the chemical weapons attack by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime on a rebel stronghold that killed civilians, including children, earlier this week.
