| | Trump Gives Worst Excuse for Abandoning The Kurds and Is Proud of It
October 10, 2019 Lenny Ghoul 1 Comment
Almost immediately after the White House released a statement on President Trump’s decision to abandon the Kurds in Syria on Sunday night, his administration starting catching a lot of serious pushback from all sides.
Today in a press conference, Donald Trump tried to justify his actions by bringing up an obscure fact(?) that he “read” in an opinion article written by alt-right author and vocal Trump supporter Kurt Schlichter.
This is one of his worst takes yet.

“The Kurds are fighting for their land. And as somebody wrote in a very very powerful article today, they didn’t help us in the second World War. They didn’t help us with Nor…Normandy as an example. They mentioned names of different battles, and they were there, but they’re there to help us with their land? And that’s a different thing. And addition to that we, we tr… we have spent tremendous amounts of money and, on helping the Kurds in terms of ammunition, in terms of weapons, in terms of money, in terms of pay. With all of that being said, we like the Kurds. You have different factions in there again, you have PKK that’s a different faction…uh and they worked with us. It’s a rough group, but they worked with us. But, we’ve spent a tremendous, and they are fighting for their land, so when you say they are fighting with us yes, but they are fighting for their land.”

NEW: Asked about the Kurds, President Trump says they "didn't help us in the Second World War, they didn't help us with Normandy" and that they're fighting for "their land."

As you can see by his tweet, President Trump was so thrilled with his insane “excuse” that he quote tweeted it on Twitter for everyone to see; assumingly because he has zero self awareness.
Twitter lit him up.

Technically 44. President Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms becoming the 22nd and 24th President… but who’s counting?

The Kurds didn’t help us in the War of 1812. Many people are saying that.

Fun Fact. No Trump in history has served in any war, ever. In fact Donald’s grandfather Frederick lost his Bavarian citizenship for dodging military service.

He knows everyone is shocked & disgusted. He is proud. He is very clear about that. He is working on behalf of his own personal interests & those of Russia. He has the title of President of the US but he’s committing treason working from the inside to hurt our country & allies.
