  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)

    President Donald Trump resumed his years-long vilification of Senator Mitt Romney on Saturday morning, calling the 2012 GOP presidential nominee a "pompous 'ass' " the day after Romney criticised Trump's requests that foreign leaders investigate a political opponent.

    Anyone that says anything less than adulatory about Trump gets the same treatment. They're all 'frauds' and 'traitors' and 'treasonous'. There are only a couple of names that I can think of about whom Trump is invariably deferential and respectful - Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. And the latter, he's 'in love' with. Oh, and Erdowan, the wannabee dictator of Turkey, who only had to pick up the phone to persuade his bootlicking pal in the Whitehouse to do his bidding. Trump takes orders from foreign dictators and then relies on exploiting the hopes of American rubes to stay in power.

    The White House announced Trump's decision Sunday night following a phone call between Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The move marks a major shift in US foreign policy and effectively gives Turkey the green light to attack US-backed Kurdish forces. The group, long considered as among Washington's most reliable partners in Syria, has played a key strategic role in the campaign against ISIS in the region.

    Nikki Haley, President Donald Trump's former ambassador to the United Nations, issued stinging criticism of her former boss on Monday, saying Trump's decision to remove US troops from northern Syria as Turkey plans a military offensive in the region means the US is leaving Kurdish allies "to die."

    "We must always have the backs of our allies, if we expect them to have our back. The Kurds were instrumental in our successful fight against ISIS in Syria. Leaving them to die is a big mistake. #TurkeyIsNotOurFriend," Haley, who also served as governor of South Carolina, wrote in a tweet.
