Syria President Bashar al-Assad HITS BACK at Trump and calls the US President an 'ANIMAL'
Assad has branded President Donald Trump an “animal” as he hit back at the US leader
Trump used the language to describe the Syrian President after his alleged involvement in a toxic gas attack last month.
In a tweet the US leader condemned a "mindless chemical attack” in Syria that killed women and children, called Syrian President an "animal'' and delivered a rare personal criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin for supporting the Damascus government.

Russian broadcaster RT asked Assad if he also had a nickname for Trump, to which the Syrian president answered: “This is not my language, so, I cannot use similar language.
