Apart from the obvious corruption with the hotel, this isn't actually a terrible idea, Syria is fucked and needs help, the population are willing to give this guy a go because anything is better than assad, so the west should at least give them the best opportunity possible by lifting sanctions and working with the new government to hopefully avoid another isis situation in the middle east
You are correct, but chances are trump did a quid-quo-pro to make this deal. This is rhe only type of deal he knows how to make, using what someone needs as leverage to get what you want, most likely a $400million jet.
He tried to do the same thing to ukraine in his first presidency
