Trump Gets Even Crazier By Threatening To Release Thousands Of ISIS Fighters In Europe

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/08/21/trump-europe-isis-fighters.html

"SNIP.......

Trump said, “We’re holding thousands of ISIS fighters right now. And Europe has to take them. And if Europe doesn’t take them, I’ll have no choice but to release them into the countries from which they came. Which is Germany and France and other places. We beat them. We captured them. We have them, and now, as usual, our allies say oh no, we don’t want them, even though they came from France, and Germany, and other places, so we’re going to tell them, and we’ve already told them to take these prisoners that we’ve captured, because the United States is not going to put them in Guantanamo for the next fifty years, and pay for it.”

......SNIP"

1. Take that, Allies!

"I've got my new friends in Russia and NK, so I don't need you!"

3. The Independent says his numbers are wrong:

"Around 800 Isis fighters of European origin are currently being detained in northern Syria by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, along with thousands of women and children."

"Mr Trump appeared to conflate the European fighters with Isis members from other countries in his comments on Thursday, claiming there were “2,500 Isis fighters that we want Europe to take, because they were going back into Europe, into France, into Germany, into various places.”"

4. How would that work

Commercial flights? Doesn’t seem likely.

Military flights? NATO would be in trouble if allies stopped allowing those. Maybe that’s the real agenda.

Strapping a parachute and airdropping them? There’s probably a few things wrong with that idea as well (understatement).

But it is a change of topic for the king of the fools.

5. Such evil and hypocrisy!

Trump is such a racist, he acts like a few thousand Central Americans moving away from certain death, are a dangerous threat to the country. He even separates the children from their families!

He is such a bigot, he blocks Muslims from visiting loved ones in the hospital and cemetery. He also blocked a mere 10,000 heavily vetted Syrian refugees (even with families) escaping a violent civil war the U.S. contributed to, from a ‘melting pot’ nation of about 330 million permanent residents (even after a pacifist Germany of about a quarter of our population accepted I think a million unvetted Syrian refugees).

He acts afraid of very safe asylum seekers. Yet, he has the nerve to threaten to release homicidal terrorists into Europe?

I do not think Trump understands America. He does not care enough about our history to know there were not any airports in the American Revolution, or that the National Anthem was written in the War of 1812.

Ironically, in some ways, he even seems unassimilated in American political culture. Immigrants he wants to keep out know and care more than he does.

He hardly has any understanding of American Government. Fifth graders have a better understanding of the Constitution. He is more like a dictator of a Russian-controlled client state than the other Presidents of the United States.

He also seems willing to sabotage America’s ability to have any alliances. We need our closest allies in North America, Europe, Australia, and East Asia. Even our relationship with Russia is more about what benefits him personally than actually cooperating for a healthy relationship (like limiting nuclear proliferation or building a literal bridge between the two countries).
