While Trump was saying this:
Link to tweet
Erdogan's goons were attacking Americans and sent two to the hospital in serious condition.
Please kick and recommend octoberlib's post. In America, the president praised a tyrant whose "bodyguards" beat Americans who were exercising their first amendment rights.
Thank you!
Please, don't K&R this thread. K&R the other thread.

The story is important and Trump has not said a word about the Americans injured by Erdogan's thugs.

(19,459 posts)Sickening and infuriating. I kept waiting for the cops to pull out their batons and begin waling on those dudes.
I suppose they are covered by some type of diplomatic immunity?

(90,762 posts)Trump hasn't said anything. Of course. He probably thinks what they did was great.
Sometimes bodyguards are given other titles as well, allowing them diplomatic immunity.
2 people were arrested but they didn't say who.
I am appalled. It's bad enough protesters have to worry about someone running them over or the police getting happy with authority, but to have to worry about foreign agents on a "friendly" visit attacking us now?
While exercising our 1st amendment rights?
And the so-called leader of the free world remains silent?

(26,280 posts)some of the embassy staff as punishment to Turkey say about 60% of it and furthermore the number should be kept there for 20 years unless Turkey turns the guards over to US authorities.

(14,971 posts)I was scrolling through Twitter and a journalist mentioned Erdogan's goons flipped over a woman's baby stroller while they were hitting her. No mention of whether the baby was hurt.
