TRUMP SHOWS HIMELF TO BE MORE THAN A JERK … AN IDIOTIC JERK

Trump defends his Syria move, says Kurds ‘didn’t help us with Normandy’

President Trump on Wednesday defended his decision to pull US troops out of northeast Syria, saying he was tired of “forever wars” and of having to meet grieving parents of slain service members.

Asked about his decision, which left America’s Kurdish allies in the fight against ISIS to defend themselves from a Turkish military incursion without backup, Trump criticized the Kurds after earlier calling Turkey’s move “a bad idea.”

“They didn’t help us in the Second World War, they didn’t help us with Normandy,” he said, saying they only fight for “their land” at a White House event in which he signed a government transparency bill.

“With all of that being said, we like the Kurds,” he added.

Asked whether his decision to leave the Kurds to their own defense would harm America’s ability to form and maintain alliances, Trump dismissed the idea.

“Alliances are very easy,” he said.

He also responded to criticism from his usually reliable ally, Lindsey Graham, who along with other Republicans have ripped Trump for the move, calling him a war hawk.

“Lindsey [Graham] and I feel differently. I think Lindsey would like to stay there for the next 200 years and maybe add a couple of hundred thousand people every place,” the commander in chief said.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is just another reason why I will not vote for a president in 2020. And it looks like Trump is no longer of sound mind.

Howard prefers socialism to President Trump. I won't argue with that. But I will be voting...and I will be voting for President Trump.

Make America Great Again.
Build The Wall.

Dave, You know that I do not prefer socialism to Trump. There is no way I could be persuaded to vote for any of the Democratic candidates. But in good conscience, I cannot vote for an idiotic jerk who wasn't of sound mind when he said the Kurds "didn’t help us with Normandy."

And that 'Make America Great Again' and 'Build The Wall' doesn't change anything.

I find it hard to believe that you will give up a right that people have died for and is sought after world-wide because you don't like someone. You are setting a bad example to all your former students. What about new immigrants who arrived in the U.S. like you trying to become naturalized U.S. citizens? Would you recommend that they not vote? BGB if you purposely don't vote, shame on you. If you don't vote, don't bitch or blog about the election results. The fact that you would even consider not voting disappoints me.

Trey, you need to take a remedial reading course. I never said I would not vote. I said I would not vote for president. Of course, I'm going to vote down ballot, that is if I am still alive in November 2020. But in good conscience, I cannot vote for any of the presidential candidates. They all suck!

I guess you can rationalize anything.
