Trump invites Turkish Thug (Erdogan) to the White House.

On Tuesday, a White House official confirmed that President Donald Trump has invited Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to the White House on November 13.

This announcement comes less than two days after Trump announced that U.S. forces will be exiting northern Syria and shifting ISIS counterterrorism efforts onto Turkey — a move that drew sharp bipartisan anger, as it could embolden Erdoğan to attack the Kurdish forces that have fought for the United States in the region at great personal risk.

There are no words. Last time Erdogan visited his henchmen beat up peaceful protesters on a Washington D.C. street.
