even he was flat footed by this, it is no surprise you re seeing this condemnation but trump thinks his base who doesn t like these endless wars think it is a good thing, trump being strong again. what do you make of the president s invitation this morning extending an invite to the white house and let s remind the audience the last time he informs washington is when his security detail beat up protestors while erdogan sat in the car. i m not one to offer advice to president trump. but i might say that he should hold on to his wallet. every time he has been involved with him he has been fleeced and out foxed. i think we saw this more recently in recent months.
