1. Just like how he leaned on Tillerson to get involved with an ongoing legal matter.

Trump has a pretty shallow playbook.

2. So Trumpy wants to protect a Turkish bank from penalties for violating sanctions on IRAN!!!

Trumpy is again giving a green light to Turkey to continue to violate sanctions against Iran, while Trumpy rails against Iran for... oh, I don't know what. So while the US position is that Iran needs MORE sanctions, Trumpy is looking the other way when Turkey violates the sanctions agreement.

This is Trumpy's foreign policy, one minute at a time.
