Q Your decision not to keep any of the sanctions in place doesnt that effectively let Turkey just get off with no punishment for this incursion?
THE PRESIDENT: No. No. If you let this go, you wouldve lost millions of lives. Dont forget: Your friend, President Obama, lost more than a half a million lives in a very short period in the same reason region. Weve lost very little.

Q And the Kurdish general, General Mazloum, who you talked to before are you going to talk to him again to get him to
THE PRESIDENT: Hes very happy. Theyve spoken to him. The Kurds are very happy. Turkey is very happy. The United States is very happy. And you know what? Civilization is very happy. Its a great thing for civilization.
Thank you, everybody.

God hes embarrassing. Sounds like a simple minded high schooler.
This is why his base loves him. He distills the complex into utter simplicity. None of what he says is true, but that is besides the point.
They been fed a steady diet of Fox lies and this is what they want. The Kurds have now flipped from stalwart heroes that helped the US defeat ISIS, to communists and terrorists who deserve to be massacred.
Trump is the hero for bringing our troops home even while he is sending troops into Saudi Arabia. Never mind that whole thing about 9/11 and the Saudi connection. The Saudis pay in cashand to Trump and his base thats all that matters.
