Trump says the Kurds did not help us during WWII, nor in Normandy nor D-Day.............. [View all]

Each day I have this thought that it can't get any worse. Then it does.

.@realDonaldTrump
is sooooo ignorant.

In 1996 I participated in Operation PACIFIC HAVEN, where the DoD airlifted Kurds out of Iraq and into Guam. Why? Because the Kurds helped US fight Saddam Hussein.

Kurds also helped US fight ISIS. Kurds have been one of our strongest allies.
