This is an obscene and ignorant statement. 200k innocent people displaced. Hundreds dead. Credible reports of war crimes. ISIS prisoners escaping. US evacuating and bombing its own positions or handing them to Russia. Two kids in a lot?

WATCH: President Trump on Turkey attacking the Kurds: "Sometimes you have to let them fight, like two kids in a lot. You have to let them fight, and then you pull them apart!"

9. He said Turkish militia committing atrocities "had to clean it out."

Our president causing a whole people to be driven from their homeland, those who make it out alive, and making a statement that can only be interpreted as approving "ethnic cleansing." And that by Turkish Muslims of Kurds, 2/3-3/4 Sunni Muslim and the rest of other religions, including Christian.

That last is a big problem for TrumpCo with the religious right they depend on, so they're demonizing the Kurds as commies who are committing atrocities against those nice Turkish soldiers come to kill them.
