This morning Trump vowed that big sanctions on Turkey are coming as he defended his pullout of Northern Syria and called out Brian Kilmeade from Fox and Friends:
Brian Kilmeade over at @foxandfriends got it all wrong. We are not going into another war between people who have been fighting with each other for 200 years. Europe had a chance to get their ISIS prisoners, but didn’t want the cost. “Let the USA pay,” they said…

….Kurds may be releasing some to get us involved. Easily recaptured by Turkey or European Nations from where many came, but they should move quickly. Big sanctions on Turkey coming! Do people really think we should go to war with NATO Member Turkey? Never ending wars will end!

The same people who got us into the Middle East mess are the people who most want to stay there!

With the US moving all troops out of the area and Assad marching his troops into Northern Syria to stop the new Turkish incursions, I fear that Turkey just got exactly what they want: an excuse to go to war with Assad. Erdogan hates Assad and has been calling for his defeat for a long time now. But with both Iran and Russia in the mix, it complicates things quite a bit. I would expect Erdogan will try and make agreements with both Iran and Russia to get them to back off, but I’m not expert on the region. I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough how all of this will play out.
Trump also called out shifty Schiff for not wanting the so-called whistleblower to testify:
Adam Schiff now doesn’t seem to want the Whistleblower to testify. NO! Must testify to explain why he got my Ukraine conversation sooo wrong, not even close. Did Schiff tell him to do that? We must determine the Whistleblower’s identity to determine WHY this was done to the USA..

….Democrat’s game was foiled when we caught Schiff fraudulently making up my Ukraine conversation, when I released the exact conversation Transcript, and when Ukrainian President and the Foreign Minister said there was NO PRESSURE, very normal talk! A total Impeachment Scam!

And lastly, Trump praised Harry Reid for saying that he was smart…
Former Democrat Senator Harry Reid just stated that Donald Trump is very smart, much more popular than people think, is underestimated, and will be hard to beat in the 2020 Election. Thank you Harry, I agree!
