Trump congratulates Erdoğan after Turkey vote grants sweeping powers

Donald Trump called to congratulate Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hours after the Turkish president claimed a narrow victory in a contested referendum that will grant him sweeping new powers.

Trump’s call came as the Turkish government announced late on Monday night that it would be extending the state of emergency in the country by three more months.

International observers monitoring the Turkish referendum concluded in a preliminary report on Monday that the campaign and vote took place in a political environment where the “fundamental freedoms essential to a genuinely democratic process were curtailed”.

The US president spoke on Monday with Erdoğan, whose triumph in the constitutional referendum escalated concern over his increasingly authoritarian grip on power.

Oddly enough, the Barrypuppet used Erdogan as a conduit to funnel weapons to the CIA/MI5/MI6/Saudi Intel/Mossad backed ISIS in Syria until he stopped playing ball with them and had to ward off a CIA attempted coup of his regime,. One can only hope that he realizes the slime he let himself get pulled into via the Deep State....because once they are done with you? You become "collateral damage".

He admitted he has a conflict if interest but if you ask a Trump fan boy they'll translate what he really meant by conflict was no conflict.

The right doesn't care anymore. They are heavily invested in making sure the Trump's can extract as much money as possible like Putin does Russia.

That should turn out well.
