Donald Trump Has Single Handedly Brought ISIS Back From The Dead

One phone call with Donald Trump has completely destabilized the Middle East, destroyed our relationship with the Kurds and revived the nearly extinct ISIS



The United States should be ashamed and embarrassed!

Because of Donald Trump's greed and stupidity, Syria and Turkey are now a warzone again, ISIS is fleeing prisons and regrouping and our Kurdish allies are being slaughtered in the streets. In one short phone call, Donald Trump completely destabilized the region, setting off a course of events that has led to the Turkish invasion of Syria, the bombings of numerous civilian areas and hospitals, murders of innocent Kurdish men, women and children and the freeing of ISIS fighters that had been previously detained in prisons.

To put it simply - Donald Trump is a monster who single handedly brought back ISIS.

Oh, how the mighty United States has fallen under Trump's leadership. Make no mistake about the damage Trump has done!

4. Credit where credit is due...the GOP deserves the credit as well

Crazy MF Barr, McConnell, Graham, etc. all those SOBs deserve a lot of credit. And let us not forget that the GOP has always been the crap of politics, it has just gotten worst throughout the years, with the previous republican administration giving carte blanch to many of the excesses that we see now.

8. Perhaps the military is finally outraged enough to vote for Democrats.

Trump has blood on his hands with this decision. I realize that he does not care who dies so long as his business interests are protected, but even Republicans will have a tough time defending this decision to abandon allies, allow ethnic genocide, and open the door to ISIS resurgence. Considering that Trump is the Commander in Chief and the military obeyed his orders clearly designed to please Putin, even though they knew they were wrong, what will the military do when Trump orders the nuclear bombing of Iran? He has been itching to use nuclear weapons since before his election, so we cannot rule it out—especially since he seems to see terrorism as someone else’s problem, as when he said that Europe should just take back the ISIS terrorists.

9. Secret 30 day plan... to surrender to ISIS

I guess his secret plan was to give up.

Trump has bribed the military extensively, not that they don't deserve it, but his tax breaks for disabled vets, and other tax relief for vets has really helped those in the military. It's the 1 thing he's done right IMO. He has a lot of loyalty among the military even though he and Hillary basically split the military vote. But this is pretty devastating to those who fought ISIS. I work with a helicopter pilot for the Army, he's done a few tours over there so I've gotten some good info from him. Last I saw him he was really excited about the progress against ISIS, to see us give that up has to be disheartening.

And I don't think people understand how strong some of our relationships with the Kurds are, you've got US personnel that has spent years with the Kurds and see how courageous and Western they are. Exactly the type of people we should be helping. We made commitments to them and now they are being slaughtered, and it's happening right in front of the US soldiers who trained them.
