Trump praises Erdogan for putting down coup attempt in Turkey

I wouldn't have said it, and I think Trump needs to brush up on foreign policy and Turkish history, but Trump operates in the world of "winning" and "losing", not in the world of partisan optics or delineations. It's how he sees things. Erdogan "won", and Trump likes winning.

yeah but this one scares me a little...

Wow.

my stomach just turned ill.

The bible says turkey is the throne and home of Lucifer

this is the first time trump has scared me

I read the article.

Trump comes across as highly intelligent. Gotta put this one in context.

Seriously, read the RT article above. Trump comes across very different.

he needs to be careful Islam is not our friends.

should have posted this part


“I don’t know that we have a right to lecture. Just look about what’s happening with our country. How are we going to lecture when people are shooting our policemen in cold blood? How are we going to lecture when you see the riots and the horror going on in our own country?” Trump said.

“I’m a fan of the Kurds, you understand,” Trump told the NYT.

On questions of security and America’s global role, Trump focused on his predominantly economic outlook, proposing many revisions, including redefining Washington’s relationship to both rivals and allies.

Great point -- US is the biggest hypocrite country on the planet. Nice to see some pull-back and rationality from Trump. The world will appreciate it.

Trump is talking like Bernie regarding foreign affairs and hypocritical Republicans are supporting him lmao

The Republican Party no longer exists...

this is the part that matters but his support of edrogan

is extremely concerning

trump is controlled by the Ashkenazi mafia

he will do as they say

Erdogan staged the Coup so he could get rid of Judges and Military and police who support the Turkish Constitution, to prove that, his puppet Gov he replaced with lawmakers now just gave him even more power. Erdogan just globalized Turkey. just my opinions

He loves the Kurds and Erdogan who would like to kill all of them...

He's going to pull our troops out of Europe and Asia...

We will leave NATO...

We will not defend Eastern European countries if Russia invades...

This guy has no clue wtf he is saying or doing lmao

Wait till he becomes your president.

no, no no, he never said that, he said he would renegotiate

nato obligations...

They need to pay their fair share of their defense,

which they are not.

Agree. You have to read the article.

I think the democrats are masters at the way they use minorities and their causes for political gain. They do it very well and have for a long time. But because I recognize that they do this well does in no way mean I am on their side or hope that they have continued success with it.

Trump just notices when something is done in an effective manner.

For all we know, the Turkey coup could have been planned by the Trump/Putin administrations and he is just distancing himself from this failure. It probably failed because of Kerry and the Obummer admin caught wind thru their muslim friends in DHS.

Think about it.

I gave my last shit about the Rep. party long ago. It is America I care about.

Trump is right as most of the times! If he really means to dissolve NATO, then this failed coup is water on his mill. Since aftermath will resolve into break up of NATO, so he really wouldn't have to do anything by the time he comes to white house. Fact is Obama administration did this, Russian gave the tip to Turks and that is that. Trump plans to be friendly with Russia and isolate from EU...that's what he says good fo him AND America...although it will never happen. Who are we kidding here, American grip over Europe is the main reason for American high standard of living and fake sense of exceptional nation.

Well this certainly isn't what I wanted to hear from him, I really hope he is just ignorant about the situation. If not, we've got a problem.

Good post...

Anyone who is cheering for Erdogan demise at this moment, I would call ignorant.

Erdogan is definitely a cunt but maybe Trump knows/thinks US was involved.

He didn't say anything other than gobbledegook. If he had said what most of us say here he would had been roasted alive by the media whores.

Remember few people have a clear idea of what happens in the greater world.

Read the whole news story people.

Another misleading thread.

Yea his foreign policy intelligence is as sharp as a spoon
