It's so true. She really is outmaneuvering him. And Trump knows it. He and Pelosi go back a bit. He respects her. His attempt at distraction in Syria has backfired horribly. I wonder what is next?Speaker Pelosi is playing multi-dimensional chess. Trump is playing marbles.

It is amusing to see such ignorance that Lahkota and Indiana spouts about the Turkey "crisis". when the problem was started during the Obama administration. From The Last Refuge

President Trump is 100% Correct on Syria Withdrawal – Here’s Why…
Selected Excerpt:
So what has President Trump decided? What are the outcomes?
Turkish President Erdogan was going to enter Syria regardless of what the EU, NATO or the U.S. said about it. Erdogan has the support of political Islam, that’s what is important to his objectives. The EU is so weak, they won’t kick Turkey out of NATO.
Ultimately President Trump is highlighting the reason why the U.S. should withdraw from NATO by spotlighting the insufferable weakness of the assembly. NATO won’t even vote to defend their own interests, so why should the U.S. be their crutch?
With Europe refusing to stand-up to defend their own interests, President Trump is removing U.S. forces from the untenable position of guarding all the big cat cages, ad infinitum, to keep the zoo status intact.
Instead, President Trump is going to support the Arab coalition and the GCC that has been assembling a military coalition to protect itself from the Muslim Brotherhood.
That is why President Trump is willing to support Saudi Arabia with more troops, while withdrawing from Syria where the U.S. was having to stand alone to protect the interests of Europeans who will not protect themselves.
In one regional area the U.S. will support and defend Israel, Egypt and Jordan. In the Southern region the U.S. will support the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Bahrain and Qatar).
Will political Islam likely have a resurgence in the region, and will Recep Erdogan rise as the head of the Ottoman Empire once again? The former is likely, the latter is unknown.
President Trump is correctly withdrawing U.S. troops from a position of adversarialism against a NATO member. Why should the U.S. protect the interests of allies who will not stand-up to protect themselves…

Trump’s Syrian Maneuver Works – President Erdogan Asks for Negotiations With Kurds in Syria…
Excerpt:
President Trump has played this out perfectly. By isolating Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and effectively leaving him naked to an alliance of his enemies, Erdogan is now urgently asking for the U.S. to mediate peace negotiations with Kurdish forces.
This request happens immediately after President Trump signed an executive order [See Here] triggering the sanction authority of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Erdogan called the White House requesting an urgent phone call with President Trump.
After President Trump talked to Kurdish General Mazloum Kobani Abdi, the commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, President Trump then discussed the options available to President Erdogan. As a result of that conversation, Erdogan requested the U.S. mediate negotiations. Vice-President Mike Pence announces he will be traveling to the region with National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien to lead that effort.
===========================================
How many people did Trump actually remove.....?
Democrats are so easily mislead, and lied to by the Trump hating media. Now that you have learned a few things, with you stop falling for the media lies, and stop looking stupid in the process?
It’s really incredibly disgusting that you have the guts to post these kinds of lies.
Obama led the coalition to get rid of ISIS in Syria that’s the primary reason we were there. ISIS was eliminated because of Obama’s efforts and strategy with the help of the Kurds in the front lines.
Then this weakling POTUS took the credits at the end.
Endrogan did not invade the Kurds till Trump gave him the go signal to invade That’s a fact.
Trump is nothing but modern weak US leader in US history.
Under Obama they were special forces only and highly regulated.
Under Trump he sent regular U.S. troops and they were allowed to fight and won.
So you are saying special ops are not real soldiers? Very funny.
Since you are sooooo properly mis informed.......... In reality it was the Kurds that did the fighting on the front lines fighting the ISIS instead of US soldiers.
US forces stay behind or flying helicopters or giving instructions to F16 where to dropped the bombs. Those are the works of special ops.
You got that smart guy?
BTW......... Can you tell me how many US soldiers sent by Trump to Syria?
No I'm saying the special ops were more there to police rather than wipe out ISIS.
Trump sent in fighting troops and allowed them to do their job. Which they did.
I don't see how you ever got what I said as special ops are not real soldiers.
