A tragedy and a farce

[timelets]

Trump's decision to give Erdogan green light to invade the Kurds' enclave in Syria is both tragic and hilarious. Even the WSJ Editorial Board seems to be perplexed by Covfefe's business logic:

[the Kurds] lost 11,000 soldiers fighting against ISIS. America armed the Kurds in that fight, and they trusted the U.S. when they were asked to dismantle defensive positions near the Turkish border as part of the buffer-zone negotiations with Ankara.
...
Mr. Trump compounded the injury with insult when he tweeted Monday morning that the “Kurds fought with us, but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so.” For Mr. Trump, foreign policy is always a transaction, never a matter of principle.

What did they expect when they cheered the election of a fraudster real estate salesman to run a global superpower?
