So, who thinks Donald Trump knows anything about the Kurds?

I don't. I doubt if he even knows where Kurdistan was before that region got divided up into irrational nations, with boundaries that made no political or ethnic sense.

They're all "Ayrabs," as far as Trump is concerned, and he doesn't give a damn about any of them. His good buddy Erdogan told him it would be good if Americans left Syria and let the Turks go in there and clean things up. "Okey Dokey," Trump said. "Consider it done." His other buddy, Putin, thinks that's a good idea, too.

But Trump doesn't know anything about any of it. Kurds? What the Hell is a Kurd, Trump thinks. Who cares about them, anyhow?

What Trump does not know so far exceeds what he does know that he might as well know nothing at all. But, none of that matters to Donwald Trump. They're all anonymous, annoying people who live in a godforsaken part of the world, anyhow.

And that's the world according to Donald J. Trump.

Erdoğan could have blackmailed the orange one by threatening to remove his name from the twin towers if he doesn't get his way. The photographs of the signage being removed, published around the world, would have been totally humiliating to the orange anus.

we have a so called President of the USA worried more about his Image and bank account than that of anyone else. Then we have a Turkish Strong Man who's Son was running a Black Market Crude Oil Business which was being transported across Syria.

Mr. Oil is playing a mega role in this,as well as a ignorant so called President .

Follow the money.

other than the propaganda Putin tells him about the Kurds.

I'd be surprised if he knew it was Istanbul and not Constantinople in Turkey

Pretty much sums up Trump's international knowledge.

There won't be a Trump Tower Kurdistan any time soon, so he doesn't care.

Unfortunately, his Trumplodytes care even less.
