Especially given the moronic tweets Trump put out on Sunday to deflect from his son meeting with Russians to affect the election.

How is all that winning working out Donald? The poor people of Syria.

We all knew this wouldn't last, and that's really terrible; that being said, GOP/Trump will probably never say a word about this diplomatic failure unless it's to try to blame someone else.
