https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/trump-isis-baghdadi-leader-dead-uk-border-terror-fighters-syria-a9173456.htmlDonald Trump has threatened to drop captured Isis fighters on the UK border if the government does not start repatriating them from Syrian camps.
Speaking at a press conference where he announced the death of Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the US president called European nations a tremendous disappointment.
After thanking Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq for assistance in the operation, Mr Trump said he had personally pressured EU countries to take back Isis members.
They came from France, they came from Germany, they came from the UK. They came from a lot of countries, he added.
And I actually said to them, if you dont take them, Im going to drop them right on your border and you can have fun capturing them again.

Majority of Isis that escape the camps that t-rump allowed because of Turkey are from other than Europe.

The majority of Isis fighters come from 3 countries. Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

So maybe he should threatening to dump them on Russia and his Saudi murder buddies. Pretending they come from our allies really hides the poor performance of Putin as a leader.
For the orange liar, all roads lead to Putin.
