On a serious note, do you really know why Drumpf pulled US troops out of Kurdish Northern Syria? QUID PRO QUO!
Reminder: Trump Has a Massive Conflict of Interest in Turkey
Less than a month after the threat to remove his name was made, Trump very publicly voiced support for Erdogan when the Turkish leader faced a coup attempt. And his closeness with Erdogan has continued, even over the objections of some of Trump’s most reliable supporters. For instance, in May 2017, when Erdogan visited Washington, D.C., for a White House visit, Turkish agents violently attacked protesters outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence—shoving past local police officers to do so. Video showed Erdogan calmly watchingthe attack from his car. Although the House of Representatives, then under GOP control, voted 397-0 to condemn the attacks, Trump refused to do so. A few months later, Trump praisedErdogan, describing him as “a very good friend” and saying he gets “very high marks” for the way he runs Turkey.

Until the day Americans swallow their pride and admit that they elected a 'TV celebrity' for POTUS whose sole aim is to make money and exact vengeance on those he thinks personally wronged him.

After my last trip to the US, I shared my views on the presidential election. Having just completed another visit to Boston, Dallas and Miami, I wanted to share a previous encounter I had with Donald Trump.

Some years ago, Mr Trump invited me to lunch for a one-to-one meeting at his apartment in Manhattan. We had not met before and I accepted. Even before the starters arrived he began telling me about how he had asked a number of people for help after his latest bankruptcy and how five of them were unwilling to help. He told me he was going to spend the rest of his life destroying these five people.
He didn’t speak about anything else and I found it very bizarre. I told him I didn’t think it was the best way of spending his life. I said it was going to eat him up, and do more damage to him than them. There must be more constructive ways to spend the rest of your life. (Hopefully my advice didn’t lead to him running for President!)

Business people have private interests, I take their views with a scoop or half a dozen of salt.Until the day Americans swallow their pride and admit that they elected a 'TV celebrity' for POTUS whose sole aim is to make money and exact vengeance on those he thinks personally wronged him.
