Informed Comment: Why would Trump sanction Turkey after greenlighting its invasion of Syria?

Joe.My.God.: Trump complains that Kurds let ISIS prisoners to make him look bad.

Speaking of which, your quote of the day:
"The attack on Mosul is turning out to be a total disaster. We gave them [ISIS] months of notice. U.S. is looking so dumb. VOTE TRUMP and WIN AGAIN!" (Candidate Donald Trump, October 23, 2016.)
