Trump must have been very surprised to hear this morning that even his favorite news show, Fox and Friends, was bashing him for declaring the exit from Syria.
Watch below at about the 7 minute mark:
Brial Kilmeade was the most critical:
“He is giving Russia a big win—Putin praised him. He also is doing exactly what he criticized Obama for doing. He said President Obama is the founder of ISIS. He just refounded ISIS.”
Wow. They did this at the end of the segment and quickly ended it after a short response from Huckabee Sanders…
He also said this on Twitter:
This would be a great time for @realDonaldTrump to announce he’s reevaluating his Syria exit & holding off on troop drawdown in Afghanistan until AFTER truce talks then nominate Jack Keane.

I doubt Trump will go back on the decision, especially after calling for a pullout from Afghanistan, but if anyone can change his mind it’s Fox and Friends. I mean, at least we can say that in this he has been consistent – he has been calling for this since his nomination. He has also said that he wants to let Putin take over the Middle East and manage it for us. So… whether ya’ll think it’s a great course of action or not, no one should be surprised that it happened.
