Do not bring him here! We already have an unpopular dictator.

I thought Erdo was under arrest from an earlier #Turkey tweet.

I hope his private jet has long range and lands somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean.

Erdogan is an agent for evil. “Islam is Islam. Democracy is the train we take to get there.”

And, although they’ve had some ups and downs, Erdogan and Obama are buddies. Reportedly, Erdo was one of the first people Obama called on being elected. Islamist conspirators, both.

Obama’s “most trusted” favorite leader, Erdogan” has left the building. Maybe he will be an overnight guest at the White House.

Do you know if there are international players who are behind the military coup?
