PENTAGON – President Trump "went off script" during his call on Sunday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, before he announced that the U.S. would withdraw all troops from northeast Syria ahead of a Turkish military operation in the region, a well-placed senior U.S. military source told Fox News on Wednesday.

During the phone call, Trump had talking points, according to the source: “Tell Erdogan to stay north of the border."

“He went off script," the source said.

A thought to explain why Trump went "off script".

Deep State advisor: Here's your script. Don't change a word of it. Remember you work for us not the so-called "people".

Trump [from the script]: Erdogan, we need you to keep your troops North of the border

Erdogan: The #1 enemy of the United States who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, who your predecessor sprung from prison, armed, and allowed to commit mass genocide against the ancient Christian community of Middle East is 2.7 miles from the Turkish border right now. Let me create a buffer zone for Syrian refugees and while I'm at it I'll clear the area then tell you where he is and let you save millions of lives.

Trump: Does anyone have a pen?

Agreed. And this "well-placed military source" should be brought before a well-placed military court and get his well place given to someone who doesn't leak national security information.

The President doesn’t need a script - he isn’t Sean Penn or Alec Baldwin who both need scripts to keep from sounding like morons...

The idea that the people elect a President only for beraucrats to pre screen his phone calls a ridiculous on its face. Trump can’t go off script because his mind is the script the people expected

"...a well-placed senior U.S. military source told Fox News..."

I am sick to death of all these phony baloneys sticking knives in our president's back.

I hope he cleans out all the traitors in his administration before he starts his second term.

Trump ‘went off script’ during call with Erdogan
************************************************************

SO WHAT??? Our President did what he had to do, he did it in a polite manner, he didn't send a MOAB over there to wipe the place out nor did he pull a 3 year old whinny baby wreath ‘if you don't fire him in the 6 hours I have left here and you won't get your money’ b.s. crap...

Big deal...if people don't like how this country is being run by OUR PRESIDENT then leave, no one is stopping you!!!

Since Trump writes the script, he can’t go “off” script.

This country would be better off if everyone got their ‘news’ two or three weeks late.

Trump should ALWAYS deviate from the “script” if it is not in the best interest of the people of the United States. And he did, contrary to the Deep State’s interests.
