REMARKS

Remarks by President Trump Upon Arrival of Air Force One | Fort Worth, TX
Issued on: October 17, 2019

Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth
Fort Worth, Texas

Q Your decision not to keep any of the sanctions in place — doesn’t that effectively let Turkey just get off with no punishment for this incursion?

THE PRESIDENT: No. No. If you let this go, you would’ve lost millions of lives. Don’t forget: Your friend, President Obama, lost more than a half a million lives in a very short period in the same reason — region. We’ve 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: He’s very happy. They’ve 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. It’s a great thing for civilization.

Thank you, everybody.

4. Trump is a national embarrassment

God he’s 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 Saudi’s pay in cash—and to Trump and his base that’s all that matters.
