Inviting Erdogan to the White House today is a slap in the face of all of America.

Not just the Democrats, but all of America.

This is the autocrat that Trump made a deal with, in which he gave up the Kurds for a few oil wells and the capture of al Babgdadi. A betrayal to us all.

The last visit here, Erdogan's goons beat up a bunch of protesters. Perhaps there should be some cops, and perhaps a military unit, when they come to town this time?

The disrespect that Mr Trump shows toward our institutions, our laws, and our Constitution is simply over-whelming. It is difficult to put into words.
