Trump’s statements in the aftermath of the Turkey failed/choreographed coup were incorrect. Shoebat fleshes this out. I wonder who is responsible for advising Trump on Middle East affairs? Does anyone know?
“Trump’s statements in the aftermath of the Turkey failed/choreographed coup were incorrect.”
If that coup had been meant to succeed, Erdogan’s plane would have been shot down, or attacked while it was parked on the runway.
I went to the NYT link where McCarthy referenced what Trump said about the coup and IMO, McCarthy did his best to paint Trump’s comments in the worst possible light.
As possibly the next POTUS, should he have come out lamenting the fact that the coup against Erdogan failed?
These are exactly the type of “gotcha” questions Republicans have been letting the press suck them into for as long as I can remember.
I’m taking this on faith that Trump knows exactly what kind of asshole Erdogan is, but now is not the time to deal with him.
Time and again, Trump is proving, at least to me, that he’s too smart to get sucked into playing the oppositions games.
