In this morning’s tweetstorm Trump explained why he’s pulling out of Syria, noting that it’s time for Russia, Iran, and Syria to fight ISIS.
Getting out of Syria was no surprise. I’ve been campaigning on it for years, and six months ago, when I very publicly wanted to do it, I agreed to stay longer. Russia, Iran, Syria & others are the local enemy of ISIS. We were doing there work. Time to come home & rebuild. #MAGA
Does the USA want to be the Policeman of the Middle East, getting NOTHING but spending precious lives and trillions of dollars protecting others who, in almost all cases, do not appreciate what we are doing? Do we want to be there forever? Time for others to finally fight….
…..Russia, Iran, Syria & many others are not happy about the U.S. leaving, despite what the Fake News says, because now they will have to fight ISIS and others, who they hate, without us. I am building by far the most powerful military in the world. ISIS hits us they are doomed!

Lindsey Graham completely disagrees, tweeting this in response to Trump’s tweets:
It is not FAKE NEWS that Russia, Iran, and Assad are unhappy about our decision to withdraw from Syria.

They are ECSTATIC! https://t.co/7cZgEDBbdT
When it comes to fighting ISIS I do not believe it is wise to outsource the fight to Rusia, Iran, and Assad.

They do not have America's best interests at heart.
He also agreed with Mark Levin’s argument yesterday, which we posted here.

Despite all of this, it sounds like Trump is going to pull out of Syria anyway.
