That isn't what this thread is about.

Fit, read your own previous post. It's in the quote you posted. Yes, he congratulated the dude, but, IMO, the call was to keep the dialogue regarding Syria going. Turkey is vital to the US and Europe's plans for Syria. There's a much bigger play to be made here other than simply congratulation Erdogan. Erdogan may be a douche, but he's the douche we must deal with.

But why use that language. Why not say they acknowledged? But congrats? Really?

If they didn't think that was a mistake then why walk it back?

Again

It's the little things.

Rookie Mistakes.

Remember when I said before he was elected that it would be the unforced errors that would be his downfall.

Well, yeah, rookie mistakes. He's been POTUS for 88 days. Makes sense.

BTW, Erdogan is visiting Trump in DC in a couple of weeks prior to attending the NATO summit.

88 days. That is correct.

I just want to make sure I am clear here. I spoke to a lot of Trump supporters who believed that he would learn on the job.

Let's see if he does it quick enough.

Quote:CBS's Mark Knoller reports:

Pres. Obama phoning congratulations from AF-1 to Pres-elect Vladimir Putin of Russia.

As the New York Times reported earlier in the week, there are serious charges that Putin rigged the election: "A day after claiming an overwhelming victory in Russia’s presidential election, Vladimir V. Putin on Monday faced a range of challenges to his legitimacy, including charges of fraud from international observers and a defiant opposition that vowed to keep him from serving his full six-year term."

Trump could tell you that he made the call himself and you would still not believe Vox, idiot.

European leaders stayed mostly silent. International monitors condemned the vote as unfair. And then there was President Donald Trump, who called Erdoğan to congratulate him on the win.

You're complaining about others calling you names? That's funny.

They're just admitting to doing what all media does now. We've got too many people telling us what to think. I wish we had more encouragment to think.
