1. If Trump is reported to have said something that's both insane and offensive,

the report is almost certainly true.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Just heard this on MSNBC. It's true.

[Aristus]

3. It is true.

And don't call me 'Shirley'.

[MissMillie]

[Mike 03]

My goodness -- Trump criticizes the Kurds because "they didn't help us in the Second War War, they didn't help us with Normandy."

33. Did Turkey help US in WWII? Didn't Turkey fight on Germany's side in WWI?

[malaise]

35. Absolutely correct

There was an Ottoman alliance with the Germans but please remember you're dealing with a mad mook here.

[Vinca]

11. And that will justify the slaughter in the minds of the cult.

[Skittles]

12. advice for you Eleanor

ANY ridiculous, mind-boggling utterance attributed to Trump CAN BE TRUE

[EleanorR]

16. Unfortunately true

I wonder at those who continue to support this man. It's only the ignorant, the greedy, and the hateful.

[smirkymonkey]

13. WTF?!

I can't even get my mind around this. I so fucking hate him.

[sheshe2]

15. Wheel him out.

[Firestorm49]

17. So shit, lets just let the Kurdish forces all die for having the nerve to have trust in us.

I hope this mess ends with the saving and not the total destruction of democracy, but the way this fool talks, one has to wonder what their master plan truly is.

[Turin_C3PO]

20. ??

The tweet’s text is in the OP.

[Turin_C3PO]

26. Maybe we're seeing different things.

On my computer, the substance of the post shows up where it normally does.

[Turin_C3PO]

42. Yeah

the substance of the tweet link appears in the post for me. Probably a different display depending on device used to view post.

[Rustynaerduwell]

21. And so the Trumpsters have their out.

The Great Leader has spoke- in so many words- "Fuck the Kurds".

[trusty elf]

22. If only chump hadn't had bone spurs.....

He would have helped!

[slumcamper]

23. Are we witnessing the collapse of the nation?

Such affront to principles and values...a self-absorbed, paranoid, and evil madman at the helm...the wholesale destruction of the machinery of government...the system creaking and groaning beneath the weight of assault...enablers at all levels--including a deluded, conspiratorial cult within our own communities and families...

The body politic is convulsing moment to moment as events consume us.

WHAT. IN. THE. LIVING. FUCK. IS. HAPPENING!

[world wide wally]

29. Yes

[ffr]

25. Insane!

[BigMin28]

27. Not one member of this

low life family has ever served in the military. Fuck them all!

[alwaysinasnit]

28. As far as I'm concerned, 45 is guilty of facilitating genocide.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. There are no words

in Kurdish for "bone spurs"

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. Hey, Spanky!

And what did your father do in WWII?

[SCVDem]

34. Where were they

When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[OnDoutside]

36. Neither did Trump help you in Vietnam....

[Evolve Dammit]

37. Good God this is one clueless dolt.

[JohnnyRingo]

38. Cue the republicans to say he was "joking"

Since he's such a stable genius, he has a lot of time to think up ways to troll the media.

As a fuckin' moran it just comes naturally.

[johnp3907]

39. The Kurds didn't fight alongside Trump in Vietnam either.

Wonder why.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

40. Easily fixed.

Just tell that idiot that they helped us hold the airports during the Revolutionary War.

[Grokenstein]

43. The Traitor is now actively undermining America's standing in the world

He's always talked a good fight. It's time to grab him, slap some khaki on him, and air-drop him into the war zone. Him, Putin's Mitch, Mommy's Mike, Junior, Ewik, Jared and the Ivankabot1000.

[LuvNewcastle]

44. That's the way to be.

Before I help anyone, I always ask myself if this person has ever done anything for me. The only way to find out another person's worth is to find how valuable they've been to you. Because everything always comes back to you.

[Blue_true]

46. Turkey fought with Germany in WWI and stayed neutral in WWII.

It did take in some Jewish people that were fleeing Hitler, but it in no way took up arms against Germany and the Axis.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

47. So, somebody gave him some history of the Kurds.

And since he is nothing but a conspiracy theorist (with his minuscule finger on the button) he is appealing to the ignorant faction of his base. And the racist element.

Having to rely on Cheney and Graham for pushback on his lack decency and the devaluation of our currency as a nation of honor is insane.

[tclambert]

48. Yeah, but whose side were they on during the American Revolution?

They were friendly with those tea drinking British, weren't they?

[Duppers]

49. Are most rethugians this g.d. ignorant?

I guess they are.
