This was a flexing of muscle without engaging the brain.

I think people are over-analyzing this. Syria crossed a line that the world has agreed shouldn't be crossed, and the US punished them for it. It's a simple black and white, 'law and order' transaction that seems pretty consistent with Trump's general approach (his previous tweets about Obama's handing of Syria notwithstanding).
All the discussion about effectiveness, impact on strategy, why don't regular bombs count, this is helping ISIS, this is a false flag, etc. seem to be reaching for a bigger story.
