Lots of independent and respectable people coming out saying this. Motives are important and Assad had no motive.
I'd like to see projectile evidence the OP is addressing. If his contention is the crater photographed was made from a ground based bomb rather than an aerial bomb, it does not appear that way from the photo. His contention also assumes the victims were unaware of the plot, or even more incredible, cooperated with it.
Also in the aftermath, Assad did not behave like the man you describe. If this was a set-up, the Assad you describe would have been shouting about it from the highest hill. Instead he went silent. Perhaps his control of the military is such that he did not know for sure. But he did not act like a man who knew he'd been set up.

Because of my working relationships with key C4ISR prime integration partners, like Lockheed, and working knowledge of the reconnaissance, surveillance and data gathering capabilities of these systems, I complete reject any inference that this incident was started anywhere other than the airbase that was attacked by the Tomahawk missiles.
That said, it could certainly have been orchestrated by any number of operatives, including Assad's military. Until there is proof, however, it's like the Dem's cry of "Russians!". It's falling on deaf ears because it's only conjecture with no substance.

No he didn't.
Assad says Syria chemical attack that killed dozens is 'fabrication'
The Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, has described a chemical attack that killed dozens of people and prompted Donald Trump to launch missile strikes on his country as “a fabrication”.

Assad’s claim, made in an interview with Agence France-Presse news agency, effectively dismisses evidence from international chemical weapons experts who found traces of nerve agent in samples from the site of the attack, the town of Khan Sheikhun.
It also puts him at odds with his main backer, Russia. Moscow has fiercely defended Assad, but not denied that chemical weapons killed many at the site, arguing instead that Syrian government planes hit a rebel weapons stockpile, releasing the gas.
Assad described any suggestion that chemical weapons had been used as “100% fabrication” intended to justify US attacks on a Syrian airbase."
