Trump and Turkey

Posted October 28, 2019 1:00 am

All this bickering about why Trump suddenly pulled troops out of Syria is as if no one can figure him out. Well, duh. As we all know, Trump is only concerned with himself. I'd be willing to wager my next Social Security check that Turkey's Erdogan threatened Trump's property in Istanbul.

From Trump's own website: "Trump Towers, Istanbul, Sisli is a landmark in the historic city of Istanbul. With two towers rising in Mecidiyekoy, one of the city's most vibrant areas, the property captures the utmost in luxury."

We citizens need to demand to hear Trump's telephone conversation with Erdogan from the day before he suddenly pulled our troops out. Then this violation of the Emoluments Clause can be added to all the violations and illegal shenanigans he is now infamous for.
