I made this "transcript" of most of the 2018 remarks from a couple of listens, so it's not
guaranteed precisely exactly accurate, and not entirely in the order presented, but anyway, just to get a flavor of them:

re: the Kurds in 2018 --

"they fought with us, they died with us ... they died for us"

"tens of thousands of Kurds died fighting Isis",

"we don't forget, I don't forget",

"that's their territory, we have to help them, I want to help them",

"these are great people"

Trump betrayed an ally on his playground.

There is nothing that can come out of his mouth, or his little fingers when he tweets, that is not obscene or ignorant, that is who he is.

That's the Arabic acronym for ISIS, in case you're wondering. They really, really hate being called that. And Cantaloupe Caligula gave "aid and comfort" to that particular enemy.

Depending on how it is conjugated in Arabic, the word can mean “to trample down and crush." But it can also mean “a bigot.” ISIS has reportedly threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone it hears using the term.

"It's a derogatory term and not someting people should use even if you dislike them," said Evan Kohlmann, a national security analyst at Flashpoint and a contributor to NBC News. "It would be like referring to Germans as 'Huns.'"
