The U.S. is also engaged in military activity in Syria. Donald supports the Syrian governments fight against ISIS. Syria is basically engaged in two wars at the moment. One, against ISIS and the other is an internal civil war against Islamic separatist. Russia is fighting ISIS terrorists in Syria, Syria is fighting ISIS Terrorists in Syria and the U.S. is fighting ISIS terrorists in Syria. Donald is simply acknowledging the obvious. That ISIS needs to be defeated first so that Syria can then resolve it's own internal civil conflict. Syria alone is not equipped to fight both wars on it's own so it has turned to it's allies in the region to help it do so. Russia is one such ally.
To fight against the Syrian government forces is in effect giving Syria over to ISIS as part of it's caliphate which can only serve to strengthen ISIS and increase it's influence in the region. So one could say it's a matter of the lesser of two evils. We may not like Assad but the Islamic State is far worse and recent history has shown us in Iraq and Iran, that when no one helps. ISIS takes over yet Another Country.
One can easily compare the situation to that of the 1930's.. We didn't like Russia much back then either but we needed them to defeat the Nazi's. As in today, although we may not like Russia. We have a common enemy in ISIS.

Would creating a No Fly Zone over Syria result in a War with Russia?
NOT NECESSARILY: While a No-Fly Zone in Syria would put US aircraft and Russian aircraft in the direct line of fire, a war would only start if both sides played "chicken" with this, meaning that the US or Russians repeatedly opened fire on each other's aircraft. As it currently stands, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry have a decent relationship and the two of them could coordinate either a partial No-Fly Zone in certain parts of Syria or negotiate a Russian withdrawal from the area since the campaign in Syria is domestically undesirable in Russia. Russia's primary concern is their naval base in Latakia and as long as the US can guarantee both the safety of the facility and its remaining in Russian hands, Russians can be negotiated with on the issue of defending Syria.
