I don’t see anything to change my original opinion.
Perhaps I bowed to peer pressure...
But, reading it in context seemed less aggravating.
The NY Times headline is still correct.
On the Erdogan issue I vehemently disagree, but as a candidate for President, could Trump go against the commander in chief (sigh), the general secretary of Nato and the EU?
The “smart” choice is to stay safe within the fold.
Though one of the reasons I like Trump is his willingness to go outside the politically correct consensus.
The one thing I think was lacking was a request for Erdogan to respect democracy and human rights.
